ESPN Predicts Lakers’ Chances Of Winning NBA Championship

The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the most interesting teams in the NBA ahead of the 2024-25 season.

Many are curious about how they will ultimately fare, given how little the team did in free agency.

Opinions vary across the board.

This week, ESPN produced its odds for teams winning an NBA championship in 2024.

The Lakers, in their estimation, have a 1.5 percent chance of winning an NBA championship and 4 percent odds of making the NBA Finals.

For what it’s worth – the Los Angeles Clippers have a 1.3 percent chance of winning an NBA championship and 3.7 percent chance of making the NBA Finals.

ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst made the case this week that it’s actually really easy to predict how the Lakers will do in 2024.

“I think they’re probably headed for the play-in, which was where they were last year,” Windhorst said.

“They got roughly the same team coming back. We’ll see with Health. And last year (Anthony Davis) and LeBron (James) actually had two extremely Healthy seasons. I don’t think it’s possible for them to play more Games than they did last year if you’re looking at it honestly.”

Will the Lakers be able to shock the world and win a championship this season? Time will tell.
