Cooper Flagg is causing sportsbooks to take extreme measures during the 2025 NBA Draft.
Flagg's odds to be the top pick in the draft had reached -100,000 at multiple sportsbooks Thursday morning, meaning a bettor would need to risk $1,000 to win $1 on the Duke product going first. The Dallas Mavericks own the rights to the No. 1 pick.
Victor Wembanyama's odds also climbed to -100,000 at FanDuel, before the San Antonio Spurs selected him No. 1 in 2023. Flagg's odds varied at sportsbooks Thursday, ranging from -50,000 at ESPN BET to -10,000 at BetMGM.
