NBA Draft Odds, Predicting the Picks

This 2024 NBA Draft promises to be an interesting event. A stark contrast to the star-studded events of recent years, this draft lacks the likes of Scoot Henderson or Victor Wembanyama. It currently is without a hyped prospect hence the 2023 NBA Draft Odds having no wide favorite.

But as history reminds us, hidden gems can lurk anywhere. Will this draft be another breeding ground for international stars, or could it unearth a late-lottery American talent like Donovan Mitchell or Devin Booker? Keep reading below for all the 2024 NBA Draft Odds details.

The current projected top pick is 19-year-old French prodigy Zaccharie Risacher. His odds to be the number one pick (-240) have skyrocketed in recent weeks, fueled by his impressive 6’9″ frame and tantalizing two-way potential. However, a question mark that hangs over the pick is his shooting.

Following Risacher is American standout Donovan Clingan (+230). Both players are projected to be top contenders for the Atlanta Hawks’ number-one pick. But lurking behind them are other intriguing names: Alexandre Sarr (+650), a previously dominant prospect who’s seen his stock dip, and the high-upside wildcard, Lithuanian center Matas Buzelis (+20000).

With the draft approaching, these odds are fluid. However, one thing is clear: the 2024 draft is wide open. Will a new international star emerge, or will an American underdog steal the show? Only time will tell.

Bronny James Hype

There is a lot of hype around the Bronny James pick in this year’s draft. Although he doesn’t seem to be a very high-upside prospect, he is LeBron James’ son. James has said that he has always wanted to play with his son, so many NBA teams will consider drafting Bronny James. Although James made no promises, he is still up All-NBA player stats. That factors into Bronny James’s 2023 NBA Draft odds.

Here are some Bronny James odds for his draft position and possible landing place.

While current NBA odds mirror mock drafts, the NBA Draft is notorious for last-minute surprises. Expect teams to throw curveballs, keeping bettors on their toes!

Beyond player position bets, consider broader options. Who will crack the top 10 (Edey, McCain?) or the top 20? Their odds suggest a near-lock for the top 20 (-480), but a higher draft position is certainly possible.  We like both of those players to make the Top 20 picks, which could be a sharp bet for NBA picks and parlays.
