The NBA season is here and the Los Angeles Lakers open it at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Of course, all eyes will be on LeBron James as usual, but we’ll turn our attention to the potential regular season debut of his son, Lakers rookie Bronny James.

If you’re looking for a LeBron prop, be sure to check out our Timberwolves vs. Lakers prediction, because this is all about Bronny.

The 20-year-old rookie could make his NBA regular-season debut in the league’s return leg on Tuesday, and we dive into Bronny James’ picks and chances.

Bronny James NBA debut: What you need to know

In Bronny’s final preseason game, he had 17 points, but they came on just a 41% shooting clip, and he was minus-37 against the Golden State Warriors. Overall, Bronny has been fairly disappointing during the preseason, so it remains to be seen if he will even take the field on Tuesday.

After all, the Timberwolves serve as NBA championship contenders, and the Lakers won’t want to start the season on a sour note at home just to get a few minutes for the heir to the throne.

The Lakers serve as 1.5-point underdogs at home, so our top sports betting sites expect a tightly contested game.

I mean, why not?

Bronny said Monday he didn’t know if he would get playing time in the Lakers’ season opener.

However, Brian Windhorst reported that Bronny could most likely make his debut on Tuesday.

“I expect that as long as the game goes well, you will be in your place at the beginning of the second quarter,” Windhorst said.

It has been reported that the Griffeys (Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr.) will be in attendance, as they represent perhaps the most famous father-son duo to play professional sports together to date.

So now that it’s being reported that Bronny will at least take the field, my half-unit guess is that he scores one point in his limited playing time. A $5 bet would yield a profit of $5.70.

Is Bronny James playing tonight?

According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Bronny James, the 55th pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, is expected to play on Tuesday, possibly early in the second quarter.
