2024-2025 NBA odds: How will Bronny James score his first basket?

Updated Oct. 21, 2024 12:56 p.m. ET

Bronny James was drafted by the Lakers with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Now, he gets to join father LeBron as a Laker, and bettors get to back the younger James at various sportsbooks to make some noise in the league.

You can sprinkle some money on Bronny's Rookie of the Year odds, and you can also bet on how Junior will score his first NBA basket.

However, there are still questions surrounding the future playing status of the newly-drafted Laker.

Will he be a fixture on the roster, or will he spend most of his time in the G League?

If it ends up being the latter, Bronny could make a few appearances with the South Bay Lakers — the organization's affiliate G League squad.

Since the uncertainty hasn't stopped books from posting Bronny prop specials, let's dive into the odds via FanDuel Sportsbook as of Oct. 21.

He averaged 4.8 points and 2.1 assists per game.

In six preseason games with the Lakers, he averaged 4.2 points and made one of 12 3-point attempts.
