NBA Betting Preview: A look ahead at the Pacific Division

The NBA Betting Preview Series is a look at the Pacific Division. The division has multiple title contenders and a load of talent. The 2022-23 NBA season starts on March 22, 2022.

The 2022-23 champions enter the season with the best odds and the most talented team.

The Clippers are looking to win the Pacific Division this season. They are welcoming back one of the best players in basketball.

Phoenix Suns lost in the second round of the NBA playoffs last year.

The Los Angeles Lakers are a team that was bad last season. How much better they will be this year depends on how the pieces around LeBron James pan out.

Sacramento Kings are in the best division in basketball.

The Kings are not title contenders, while the Warriors, Suns, and Clippers are. Los Angeles Lakers are the sleeper team with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

The Los Angeles Lakers are the clear-cut sleepers of the Pacific Division. They are not expected to win the NBA title in 2023.

Golden State Warriors have won the Pacific Division twice under Steve Kerr. The Clippers have the more talented roster and the higher ceiling. However, the Warriors don't have as many question marks and their cohesion from Day 1 will be the deal-breaker.
