2025 NBA Draft Betting Odds

The first round of the 2025 NBA Draft has wrapped up, and after limited surprises throughout the first few picks, the typical chaos ensued shortly after. With numerous teams making questionable decisions, only time will tell if those decisions will lead to another contract for the GM or result in that franchise undergoing another rebuild.

Regardless, with the first round of the draft over, true draft junkies can start looking ahead to the 2026 draft class, which will likely include AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, and plenty more exciting young talent. Once the odds for the 2026 NBA Draft are released, we will break down the prices for all available markets.
