The LA Lakers odds to win the 2021 NBA Championship were coming in at +330 for a payout potential of $330 with every $100 bet as of January 6, 2021.
ESPN ranks the Lakers No. 1 and indeed they are still favorites to win the Championship.
"After posting the third-best road winning percentage in league history last season, the Lakers are off to a 3-0 start away from Staples Center this season, sweeping a two-game set against the Spurs and then holding the Grizzlies to 58 points over the final three quarters in a 108-94 win on Sunday. LeBron James is starting to look like the guy who finished second in MVP voting last season, following up a triple-double against the Spurs with 22 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists against the Grizzlies." -- Dave McMenamin, ESPN
On Tuesday night, the Lakers beat the Grizzlies at home, but just barely.
Anthony Davis and LeBron James each scored 26 points each, rallying the Los Angeles Lakers to a 94-92 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night.
