It’s officially NBA Draft week! The premier event of the NBA offseason tips off on Wednesday, June 26th, and there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the first round. With that in mind, it’s a perfect time to look at some NBA Draft odds.
The Atlanta Hawks surprisingly won the NBA Draft lottery, they’ll select first overall.
Remember, many of these markets will be for which player will be selected in a certain position (1st Overall, 2nd Overall, etc.) but it does not have to be by the team originally picking in that spot. So if you were to wager on Donovan Clingan to go first overall at +190, then after the Hawks trade out of that pick, your bet is still valid for whoever the pick is traded to.

Tips for Betting on the Draft
- Research, research, research: Gather intel on prospects, team needs, and draft history.
- Shop around for the best odds: Compare lines across different sportsbooks to maximize your potential return.
- Don’t chase losses: Set a budget and stick to it. The NBA Draft is a marathon, not a sprint.
- Don’t bet with your heart: While a hometown hero might be tempting, choose bets based on logic, not emotions.
Remember, betting on the NBA Draft is for entertainment purposes. The chance factor is high, so responsible gambling is key. However, with the right approach, you can add an extra layer of excitement to the draft and potentially turn your knowledge of young talent into a winning bet.
