2021 NBA Draft
July 29, 2021 8:00 pm EDT
The 2021 NBA draft is finally here, and with this draft, there are plenty of prop bets that can make it a winning one for your bankroll. Let’s take a look at the best NBA draft prop bets that will make your Thursday night a winning one.
Davion Mitchell over pick 10.5 (-130)
Davion Mitchell is a player that has been receiving a lot of buzz the last few weeks, but I still see a little draft day slide for him in this one. Mitchell does have some shooting issues that could scare off teams, and he is already 22 years old. Look for Mitchell to go around the 12th pick, and for this over bet to cash.
Moses Moody under pick 11.5 (-130)
Moses Moody could end up being one of the top players in this draft, and he isn’t getting enough attention heading into this one. Not only is Moody strong on offense, he is also an elite defender. The Warriors currently hold the seventh pick, and if they keep it, that’s where I expect Moody will go. Look for Moody to be selected before the 12th pick.
Jalen Green to go second overall (-165)
The -165 is a bit of a price to pay, but this is the second most obvious choice on the board (behind Cade Cunningham going first overall.) Jalen Green played in the G-League last season, and there has been all kinds of buzz about his fit with the Rockets. Green worked out with the Rockets earlier this week and there is mutual interest. Green is going with the second overall pick.
Over 2.5 Non-NCAA players To Be Drafted top 10 (+140)
Jalen Green and Jonathan Kuminga are no doubt going to be drafted in the top 2, so we only need one more non-NCAA player for this bet to cash. There are three strong international players who many put in that 8-12 range, and we only need to go. I wouldn’t bet this one too big, but the +140 is a great value.
Jalen Suggs to go 4th overall (-140)
At one point it looked like Jalen Suggs was going to go number two but that hype has faded. It sure looks like the Toronto Raptors are going to lose Kyle Lowry, and Suggs is the perfect guy to step in. Suggs is going to go 4th overall to the Raptors.
