(Panama City) - What do the Nets and Lakers have in common with the Kings, Magic and Rockets?

Talent is not the answer we were looking for. If you guessed, "one win," then you are correct!

Two weeks into the season, the Lakers notched their first victory last night to move to 1-5 while the Nets have dropped four straight and also sit at 1-5.

Now, it's still early and other talented teams such as the Heat, Sixers, Warriors and Clippers are also all under .500, so let's not overreact. But L.A. and Brooklyn seem to be in worse shape than the rest, and the odds reflect that notion.

We updated our NBA Playoffs odds Monday morning, and you can compare some of the struggling contenders’ odds to their preseason odds below.

Additionally, we put up a prop bet surrounding the Kyrie Irving antisemitic comments saga...begging the question as to which sponsor will cut ties with Irving first.

 

Which sponsor will drop Kyrie Irving first?

Pepsi +125

Nike +150

Panini +250

 

Finally, with the struggles and drama surrounding the Nets, Steve Nash is now the favorite to be the first head coach fired this season.
