Playing with LeBron
On March 27, 2026, against Brooklyn, LeBron passed to Bronny for a 26-foot three, and the play-by-play credited the first assist from a father to his son in NBA history. The Lakers won the game 116-99.
LeBron has since moved on. ESPN reported his decision to join the 76ers in July 2026, and the Lakers visit Philadelphia on March 4, 2027, for the second meeting.
Bronny James odds
Player props on Bronny, such as points or threes in a game, depend on a sportsbook posting them for that night. When one is posted, the arithmetic is the same as any prop: a -110 price needs 52.4% to break even. A bet is worth making only when you rate the chance higher than the price does.
The Lakers’ games are on our NBA predictions hub and their team page, and LeBron’s new team is on the 76ers page. This season’s rookies are on our Rookie of the Year odds, and the title board is on our NBA championship odds.
