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're turning 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 on Tuesday, and we're diving into the Bronny James picks and odds.

Bronny James NBA debut: What to know

In Bronny's final preseason game, he managed 17 points, but those came on just a 41% shooting clip, and he was a minus-37 against the Golden State Warriors. Overall, Bronny was fairly underwhelming during the preseason, so it remains to be seen whether he'll even step on the court Tuesday.

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

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

I mean, why not?

Bronny that he didn't know whether he'd get any playing time in the Lakers' season opener. 

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

"I would expect, as long as the game is going OK, be in your seat at the start of the second quarter," Windhorst said.

It's 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 before now.

So, with it being reported that Bronny will at least step on the court, I'll that he scores one point in his limited playing time. A $5 bet would result in $5.70 in profit.
