The Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks remain the betting favorites at most sportsbooks despite standing pat at the NBA's trade deadline. While many of their chasers scrambled to add impact players before the deadline, the Bucks remain seven games ahead of the Toronto Raptors atop the Eastern Conference, while the Lakers hold a 2 1/2-game edge over the Clippers in the West. The Clippers beat out the Lakers in a trade with the New York Knicks for Marcus Morris Sr., who may help them close the gap over the stretch run of the regular season.
