The injury-plagued Lakers can't seem to catch a break, and the latest odds reflect their vulnerability.
BetOnline has bumped the Lakers' championship odds from +300 on Monday to +400 as of Friday, following the ankle injuries to LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
And this was before Friday's 106-101 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers dropped L.A. to No. 7 in the Western Conference standings, a full game behind the Blazers. Both teams only have five regular season games on the schedule.
Despite their recent slide, the Lakers still have the second-best title odds, only trailing the Nets (+200).
