It’s NBA Draft night!

The 1st Round of the NBA Draft tips off this evening, and there are still a lot of questions to be answered. This NBA Draft feels as unpredictable of one as we’ve had in a while.

With it being Draft Day, let’s dive into some of the current betting odds! The Atlanta Hawks, in a surprising turn of events, emerged victorious in the Draft lottery and will now have the honor of making the very first selection. It’s important to remember that many of these bets will focus on which player gets picked at a specific spot (like 1st Overall or 2nd Overall), but that player doesn’t necessarily have to be taken by the team that originally holds that pick.

For example, if you place a bet on Donovan Clingan being drafted first overall at +190 odds, even if the Hawks trade away their top pick, your wager would still be valid as long as Clingan ends up being the player selected by whichever team acquires that pick.

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.

It’s important to keep in mind that betting on the NBA Draft is primarily for entertainment purposes. The outcome of the draft can be unpredictable, and there’s a significant element of chance involved. Therefore, responsible gambling practices are absolutely crucial.
