With the start of the 2024-25 NBA season on October 22, let's review all thirty teams and their chances, see if the Celtics can repeat, and what the Lakers need to join the list of favorites.

With the NBA season underway, all eyes are on Victor Wembanyama. This talented player, considered a generational prospect, has exceeded expectations in his rookie season and is emerging as one of the top favorites to win several important awards.

The NFL has approved the sale of a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, welcoming former quarterback Tom Brady, former defensive lineman Richard Seymour, and businessman Tom Wagner as part-owners.

The New York Jets made a major move to shake up their offense by trading for star wide receiver Davante Adams, reuniting him with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. 

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball is aiming for a triumphant return this Wednesday in the preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This would be his first appearance in the NBA in over two and a half years; he has missed nearly a thousand days since he last played in the league, making this a highly anticipated moment for his fans and bettors. According to various sources, if all goes well, Ball could also play in the Bulls' final preseason game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on October 18.
