LOS ANGELES – The 2020 NBA bubble season ended with the Los Angeles Lakers capturing the franchise's 17th championship, tying them with the Boston Celtics for most all-time.

However, the core of this team around Anthony Davis and LeBron James will be hard to beat in any playoff series moving forward despite James being a year older. The Lakers will need to add some shooting depth and retain the size that they have.
Outside of that, NBA bettors should take the Lakers +400 with confidence since during the season these odds may never be this short.
Longshot Team: Brooklyn Nets (+1200)
The Brooklyn Nets are immediately one of the most dangerous teams in the Eastern Conference going into the 2021 NBA season. The return of Kevin Durant from an Achilles tear is the biggest question mark for the Nets, but having scorers like Kyrie Irving and Caris LeVert will ease the pressure.
First-year head coach Steve Nash has his work cut out for him as managing the personalities and expectations in Brooklyn won’t be easy. The core of this team is Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving with a young supporting cast around them.
The Heat just ran through the Eastern Conference with just Jimmy Butler, imagine the problems KD and Kyrie will pose for the conference moving forward as there aren’t many teams that can compete with the shooting talent of those two alone.
While betting on the Bucks or Clippers are viable alternate options for the 2021 NBA season the Nets and Lakers are two teams to monitor their odds closely before the regular season starts.
