Bradley Beal Favorite to Win Scoring Title Without Russell Westbrook
John Wall is gone. Russell Westbrook is gone. Now Bradley Beal is back to being alone in D.C.
Beal is going to once again be tasked with a heavy majority of the scoring responsibilities on a Washington Wizards team that is going to have a hard time even making the play-in game. The Wizards’ roster has been an ever evolving matter since Wall ruptured his achilles tendon in early 2019.
The one thing that has, and will, continue to stay consistent is that Beal is going to get his.
WynnBET has released its odds for who will lead the league in scoring next year and Beal is the favorite. His odds are set at +275, with Luka Doncic in second at +475. Beal has been the runner-up in the scoring race for the past two seasons and would certainly be in the best position he’s ever been in to finally break through and achieve that feat.
Beal is going to have to do a lot of scoring to keep the Wizards afloat. Without Westbrook, Beal is the only player who can create offense on a high level. This should be a year where Beal unlocks a new level of volume scoring.
The Washington Wizards have agreed to trade Russell Westbrook, 2024 second-round pick, 2028 second-round pick to the Los Angeles Lakers for Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Montrezl Harrell and No. 22 tonight, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

The Wizards were a longshot to win the NBA title before the Westbrook trade with +20000 odds. Now that Westbrook is gone, Washington has +25000 odds to win the championship.
Every year Beal stays in Washington, fans around the league beg for him to request a trade to a contender. Beal has expressed his happiness in staying with the Wizards and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.
