Don't look now, but here come the Lakers.

L.A. has won eight of its last nine behind its new super-duo of LeBron James and Luka Dončić.

The Lakers — currently second in the Western Conference standings — have the fourth-best odds to win it all. They only trail the Thunder, Celtics and Cavs — the three teams with the best records in the league.

As for the Warriors, they are making a move up the oddsboard as well, and are right behind the Lakers with the fifth-best title odds. In the standings, they have the sixth-best record in the Western Conference. Reminder: The top six teams in each conference avoid the Play-In Tournament.

Golden State has won 11 of its last 13 and has just two losses since squiring Jimmy Butler.
