Today's best bet: LOS ANGELES LAKERS (Under 421/2 season wins)

Trade talks are surrounding Kobe Bryant, the NBA's scoring leader last season at 31.6 points per game. The Lakers will be mediocre with an unhappy Bryant and assuredly worse without him, and there also is a chance coach Phil Jackson might walk away early because of health concerns. It all could unravel on the Lakers, who were 42-40 last season, so bet under their regular-season win total, which is as high as 441/2 at Sportsbook.com and hovering around 421/2 at most books.
