NBA Draft Odds 2020: laMelo ball top pick and more

LaMelo Ball is the odds-on favorite to be selected first overall during Wednesday’s draft, but what are the chances we see his dad on TV pushing the family brand?

Pretty good, according to some fun NBA Draft props provided by SportsBetting. This year’s draft is virtual, and after what we saw with the NFL’s version, anything could happen. 

Along with the traditional draft props, there are odds on which members of the Ball family will be seen, who the No. 1 pick will hug first, how many cats or dogs will be shown and much more.

As far as trades, there is a 93.8% chance a deal will be made during the first 10 picks, according to the odds. An over/under of 6.5 trades has been set as the Draft Day total.

Nets championship odds skyrocket

When the latest #WojBomb dropped, bettors and bookmakers reacted.

At SportsBetting the Nets’ championship odds for the upcoming season went from 10/1 to 7/1 after large bets came in on Brooklyn following the report that James Harden could be joining Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. 

The move seems unlikely given the complexity of shedding enough players and cap space, but still, the sportsbook said it has to be careful just in case the next super team is formed. 

“We’re busy trading the NFL today, and then all of the sudden the NBA futures board starts lighting up with Nets bets,” Lenny Estrin, head linesman at SportsBetting said. “We took a significant amount of money on the Nets before we could change the odds. These reports normally never pan out, but we still have to limit our liability so we moved them down the list.”

The Nets have the same odds (13-2 or +650) as the Warriors, and they are the favorites to take the East with 5-2 odds. Milwaukee is second on the conference odds board.

On the other side of this coin, Houston has seen its title odds tumble. 

During the last week, the Rockets’ Finals odds went from 20-1 to 28-1. Their odds to win the Western Conference dropped from 12-1 to 14-1.

Oddsmakers see no clear-cut nCAAB Men’s title favorite

The pollsters and oddsmakers don’t always see eye to eye.

The first AP Poll for the upcoming men’s college basketball season was released today, and so were odds for the 2020-21 NCAA National Championship by U.S. sportsbooks. 

The poll has Gonzaga ranked No. 1, followed by Baylor, Villanova, Virginia and Iowa. 

At SportsBetting, the top spot on the betting board belongs to Villanova with 8/1 odds. Gonzaga is second at 9/1 while Iowa (10/1), Kentucky (10/1) and Baylor (12/1) round out the Top 5. 

Duke is No. 9 in the polls, but the Blue Devils have the same odds (15/1) as Virginia. 

Kentucky is 10th in the polls but tied for third in the odds. Kansas is 6th in the polls but tied for ninth in the odds.

Michigan State and Texas Tech are 13th and 14th, respectively, in the AP Poll, but they are tied for the eighth-best title odds overall.
