NBA Draft1st Pick: Cade Cunningham -5000
Cunningham is all but a lock to go first overall to the Detroit Pistons. His implied probability is 98%. However, the price is so high that there is really no value to betting Cunningham in this spot. Simply put, you have to risk so much and get so little in return that the juice isn't worth the squeeze. The only real value on Cunningham was jumping on the OK State product weeks and months ago when he opened as a -500 favorite. 2nd Pick: Jalen Green -200
We've seen a big shift toward Green in recent weeks. Over the past few days in particular, Green has moved from -160 to -200. This translates to a 67% implied probability that he goes 2nd overall to the Rockets. Green, 19, skipped college and played for the G-League Unite last season, averaging 17.9 PPG against grown men and NBA-level competition. 3rd Pick: Evan Mobley -175
Mobley has emerged as the favorite to go 3rd overall to the Cavaliers. The 7-foot big man, 20, averaged 16.4 PPG as a freshman at USC, leading the Trojans to a deep NCAA Tournament run. The Cavs have devoted lottery picks to guards in recents years (Collin Sexton and Darius Garland) and the speculation is that they prefer Mobley as a big-man "twin tower" duo with fellow big Jarrett Allen. 4th Pick: Jalen Suggs -160
Suggs, 20, seems like a perfect fit for the Raptors at 4th overall. The dynamic Gonzaga freshman averaged 14.4 PPG last season, leading the Zags to the National Championship Game. With the Raptors possibly losing Kyle Lowry in free agency, the young Suggs could be an ideal replacement at guard to build around moving forward. 5th Pick: Scottie Barnes -135
While the top four picks seem pretty set, the 5th pick is a little less predictable. The slight favorite is Barnes, 19, of Florida State. He only averaged 9.8 PPG as a freshman for the Seminoles, but turned it on late in the year. If it isn't Barnes, the Magic could also be eyeing Jonathan Kuminga. He has the second best odds to go 5th overall at + 110. Kuminga, 18, also skipped college to enter the G-League, averaging 15.8 PPG.

On Friday, we saw Circa sports drop the Packers win total from 11 to 8.5 following the news that Rodgers may retire. We also saw a frenzied run on Vikings futures to win the NFC North. But all of that ended yesterday with Rodgers going back to the Packers. Following the news of Rodgers returning, Green Bay moved from + 1600 to + 1200 to win the Super Bowl at BetMGM. The Packers also moved from + 800 to + 550 to win the NFC Conference. After reaching as a high as + 195 to win the division, Green Bay is now back down to a -165 favorite. Rodgers' MVP odds remained unchanged at + 800. We also saw a massive shift for Green Bay's Week 1 odds against the Saints. New Orleans had moved to a 3-point home favorite for the season opener. But now the line has completely shifted to Packers -3. Anyone who jumped on Packers + 3 yesterday before books were able to adjust must be feeling pretty, pretty, pretty good right about now.

The 2021 Draft takes place tonight at 8 p.m. ET at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Cade Cunningham of Oklahoma State remains a massive -5000 favorite to be drafted first overall at BetMGM (98% implied probability). However, the line is so high that there is really no value to betting Cunningham at this point. You have to risk so much to get so little in return that the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Instead, here are some more affordable props that have taken in notable line movement over the past 24-hours... 2nd Pick: Jalen Green -200 to -400
3rd Pick: Evan Mobley -175 to -275
4th Pick: Jalen Suggs -160 to -200
5th Pick: Scottie Barnes -135 to -250
Exact Order: 1. Cunningham, 2. Green, 3. Mobley -250 to -400
