Both Luka Dončić’s weight and the Lakers‘ title odds are on the move.
Dončić is the cover athlete in the latest edition of Men’s Health Magazine, and since he revealed his svelte, new physique, the star’s MVP odds have also moved up the board.
Currently, the Lakers’ championship futures are +1400 at DraftKings Sportsbook, moving from +1600 just two weeks ago.
On July 17 at DraftKings, Dončić was sitting fourth at +800 to win the league’s most coveted individual honor.
Now, he’s third at +650, behind Nikola Jokić (+250) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (+250), and moving ahead of Giannis Antetokounmpo (+700).
Let’s check out some of the other Lakers and Dončić odds at DraftKings as of July 29.
Dončić Clutch Player of the Year
+1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
Dončić Western Conference Finals MVP
+1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)
Dončić Finals MVP
+2000 (bet +2000 to win $210 total)
Lakers Win Western Conference
+1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)
Lakers No. 1 Seed Western Conference
+3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)
JJ Redick Coach of the Year
+1400 (bet $10 to win $150 total)
Will Dončić’s slimmed-down frame be worth its weight in gold when it comes to boosting the Lakers’ chances at winning it all next year?
Lakers are a ‘real threat’ if Luka Dončić returns in Men’s Health cover form
At least one expert thinks so.
“I think he looked at LeBron and said this guy is naturally gifted … I want to get there,” co-host Chris Broussard said on “First Things First” about Dončić’s physical transformation.

“If he does come back looking like he did in that magazine in that kind of shape, the Lakers are a real threat,” Broussard added. “Luka is great period. Luka was great last year — overweight, coming off injury, sad … and not playing defense.
“If he’s in this kind of shape … I just think they have enough, and they have a legitimate chance.”

Opora USK Ayayiová se stala francouzskou basketbalistkou roku
Ayayiová zvítězila v hlasování před Nadirem Hifim z mistrovského týmu Paříže a Guerschonem Yabuselem z Philadelphie v NBA. Zatímco národní týmy letos skončily na mistrovství Evropy bez medaile, anketu rozhodly úspěchy v klubových angažmá. A tam se Ayayiová pyšní zejména triumfem v Evropské lize, na kterém měla lví podíl, stala se také opakovaně českou šampionkou a zkraje nové sezony přispěla i k zisku evropského Superpoháru. Reprezentaci dovedla ke čtvrtému místu na ME, kde Francie poprvé od roku 2007 skončila bez medaile.Ocenění získala Ayayiová poprvé a stala se nástupkyní Gabby Williamsové z Fenerbahce Istanbul, která tentokrát skončila čtvrtá. Anketa má ženskou vítězku potřetí za poslední čtyři roky, nadvládu přerušil Victor Wembanyama v roce 2023, kdy se stal jedničkou draftu NBA. Letos se hráč San Antonia nevešel do první desítky.
Z neproměněných penalt radost nemám, o to více mě těší výsledek, říkal Bílek
„Mám radost z toho, jak jsme k utkání přistoupili. Přestože se to nevyvíjelo úplně tak, jak jsme chtěli. Chtěli jsme co nejrychleji vstřelit gól, což se nepovedlo, ale hráli jsme trpělivě a od druhé branky už to bylo podle našich představ. Když soupeř běhá bez balónu, tak mu musí odejít síly,“ říkal Bílek po třetím vítězství v kvalifikaci na mistrovství Evropy 2027.Měli jste utkání rozhodnout už v prvním poločase, nebo se to vyvíjelo tak, jak jste předpokládal?Je škoda, že jsme nedali branku dříve, protože jsme do utkání vstoupili dobře. Soupeře jsme přetlačili a horkotěžko se z toho tlaku dostával. Jak jsme v tom ale trošičku nebyli tolik důslední, tak hned vystrčil růžky a ukázal, že když je necháme hrát, tak bychom mohli mít problémy. Pomohla nám první branka, a hlavně pak ta druhá zkraje druhé půle. Po ní jsme se definitivně uklidnili. Ve druhém poločase byla na klucích vidět daleko […]
