Winner: Stephen Curry (-250). Of all the players representing their respective teams, none compare to Stephen Curry in terms of popularity and career accomplishments.
It’s very likely that Curry will be shown first since the Warriors are likely to win the No. 1 pick in the draft. Take the -250 odds on the two-time NBA MVP to win this NBA Draft Lottery prop and expect to see a lot of Curry tonight.
Curry won’t only be the first player shown but he will likely be shown multiple times and bettors can take advantage by betting on the O/U number of times the three-time NBA Champion will be shown during the broadcast.
How many times will Steph Curry be shown?
- Under 3.5 Times -140
- Over 3.5 Times +100
Winner: Over 3.5 Times (+100). Steph Curry, being one of the most polarizing players in the Draft Lottery, will make him and the cameras best friends during the broadcast.
The Warriors being in contention for the top pick means even more camera time for Curry to be shown. Bettors should take the Over for this prop as Curry will likely eclipse the 3.5 times needed for the Over to hit.
