This is a giant spread, perhaps surprisingly so. Even without Luka Doncic, the Lakers—specifically LeBron James—being this big of an underdog is unprecedented. According to ESPN’s David Purdum, James has never been this big of an underdog in his entire career in the playoffs or regular season. The next largest spread on a game in which he played was in the 2018 Finals, when the Cleveland Cavaliers were 13-point underdogs to the Golden State Warriors. Even still, I like the Thunder to cover.
