We take a look at the odds for the 2022 NBA Finals and who is most likely to win it all.
The Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are currently the favorite to win the NBA Finals in 2022. They have the best record in the Western Conference and are led by two of the best players in the league, LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The Lakers also have a deep bench and a great coach in Frank Vogel.
Their young core
The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the most successful teams in NBA history. With 16 championships, 31 Conference titles, and 23 Division titles, the Lakers are one of the most decorated teams in the league. The Lakers have had many great players throughout their history, including Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, Magic Johnson, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The Lakers are currently in a rebuild stage, but their young core of players is very promising. Players like Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, and Josh Hart have a lot of potential and could help lead the Lakers back to the top of the league.
Their experience
The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Lakers compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA), as a member of the league’s Western Conference Pacific Division. The Lakers play their home games at Staples Center, an arena shared with the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers and the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks.
The franchise began with the 1947 purchase of a disbanded team, the Detroit Gems of the National Basketball League (NBL). The new team began playing in Minneapolis, calling themselves the Minneapolis Lakers. Initially a member of the NBL, the Lakers won the 1948 NBL championship before joining the rival Basketball Association of America, where they would win five of the next six championships, led by star George Mikan. After struggling financially in the late 1950s following Mikan’s retirement, they relocated to Los Angeles before buying out Mikan’s minority share of the franchise in 1963.
Led by Hall of Famers Elgin Baylor and Jerry West, Los Angeles made some headlines with early successes on court, winning division titles in their first ever season(s) after relocating. They were later able to add another former NBL MVP to their roster when they acquired Frank Selvy from Baltimore Bullets during 1964-65 season. They registered 69 wins during 1965–66 season which is still an NBA record for a rookie team (expansion or otherwise). They managed to make playoffs for 8 consecutive seasons from 1968-69 till 1975-76 but failed to make any significant headway during that period.

Their depth
Injuries happen in the NBA, but the Toronto Raptors have built a team that can withstand them. They have depth at every position, with multiple players who can step up and fill the void left by an injury. This was put on full display this season when they lost All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry to a thumb injury. They didn’t skip a beat, as backup point guard Fred VanVleet stepped up and led the team to victory.
The Raptors also have one of the best coaches in the NBA in Nick Nurse. He knows how to get the most out of his players and he has instilled a winning culture in Toronto. They are a team that is always prepared and they always seem to find a way to win, even when they are not playing their best.
The Raptors will be a force to be reckoned with in the NBA Finals and they will be one of the favourites to win it all in 2022.
