Son of NBA legend LeBron James drawing the most action, biggest risk in Rookie of the Year betting at multiple sportsbooks.Bronny James, who suits up for the first time when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday’s opening night, is dominating Rookie of the Year action.
Despite the pressure of playing with his dad and future Hall of Famer LeBron James and one of the NBA’s most storied franchises, a player who accomplished less at the collegiate level compared to his peers is getting 21.5% of the tickets and 18.5% of the handle at BetMGM, most of any player listed. His development was slowed when he went into cardiac arrest during a workout last summer, but James returned five months later to play for the Trojans.
Edey is the only player at BetMGM getting more handle than James. However, Edey trails him with 15.8% of tickets.
