With the 2025 NBA preseason in full swing, oddsmakers in Vegas are gearing up in parallel with the players. Not one, not two, but five of the Portland Trail Blazers'potential starters are poised to take a major leap if these odds are any indication.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Deni Avdija has the fourth-best odds to win the Most Improved Player award at +1700, followed by Shaedon Sharpe at +3000, Scoot Henderson at +4000, and +5000 for both Toumani Camara and Donovan Clingan.
Signs point toward breakout seasons for Blazers starters
The chatter for all five players has been extremely positive throughout training camp and Media Day, with a noticeably slimmer Clingan telling the press that he spent a lot of time working on his conditioning and stamina.
