Last Minute NBA Draft Projections Versus the Vegas Draft Odds

Just as OffshoreInsiders.com is widely accepted as the top site for NBA betting picks, the top site for the NBA draft is NBAdraft.net

Though ESPN begins coverage at 7:30, the NBA draft time is 8:00 EST.

The only real shock would be if the LA Clippers draft anyone other than Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin with the No. 1 pick.

BetED has probably the best betting lines of any the recommended sportsbooks as NBA draftnicks can wager on how many players will be taken in the first round from the Big East, Pac 10, and ACC, not to mention the number of international players taken in the first round.

Who will draft Ricky Rubio? According to NBAdraft.net he’s going to Sacramento, so “any other team” besides Memphis at -310 may be a good bet.

Most projections see Hasheem Thabett going second, but if he’s leapfrogged by James Harden BetED will pay a hefty +255. 

Will Stephen Curry or Jonny Flynn be drafted first? Curry is -230.

In fact there are betting propositions on just about every player likely to get drafted in the first round: Tyler Hansbrough, Chase Budinger, Wayne Ellington, DuJuan Summers, Brandon Jennings, Jrue Holiday and more.

The sportsbook actually has Ricky Rubio projected to get drafted third, so James Harden at +190 is a sensational bet according to the NBA draft projections.

Bodog is also expected to post similar odds by 6:00 EST.
