NBA Sixth Man of the Year Future Odds: Tyler Herro Separates From the Pack

The NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award has the heaviest favorite of all of the league's end-of-season, individual honors.

Heat guard Tyler Herro is in rare air, averaging 20 PPG off the bench. If you think that makes him a lock for the award, you’re right. He’s a massive favorite to win Sixth Man of the Year. The award generally goes to the highest bench scorer and that’s Herro, who’s putting together the fifth-highest scoring player from a reserve in NBA history.

I’m not going to argue that the award is Herro’s, though I’m also not in the business of betting on such a heavy favorite.
