Luka Doncic has already won the NBA Rookie of the Year award.
Not officially, maybe, but as far as the folks at the online gambling site MyBookie are concerned, the young Dallas Mavericks phenom already has such a stronghold on the race that the company decided to close the book on Doncic bets on Wednesday, more than four months before the award will be announced in June.
"With Luka Doncic a lock to win the 2019 Rookie of the Year, we saw no reason to make people wait until the end of the season to receive their winnings," David Strauss, Chief Oddsmaker at MyBookie, said in a statement.
