LSU’s Ben Simmons and Duke’s Brandon Ingram are a slam dunk to become the first and second players selected in the 2016 NBA draft on Thursday, respectively.
With Simmons expected to be taken first by the Philadelphia 76ers and Ingram set to immediately follow him at No. 2 to the Los Angeles Lakers, it’s anybody’s guess—especially oddsmakers—who will go where after that.
The 2016 NBA draft odds at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark have Providence point guard Kris Dunn as the slight favorite to go third to the Boston Celtics at -120 (bet $120 to win $100).
However, the Celtics already have a few good players at that position in Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart, whom they selected sixth overall just two years ago.
That has fueled speculation that the pick could be in play in a potential trade, with the Chicago Bulls one possible destination if they decide to shop Jimmy Butler.
Boston’s other options at No. 3 include Cal small forward Jaylen Brown at +300 (bet $100 to win $300), Oklahoma shooting guard Buddy Hield (+500) and Croatian big man Dragan Bender (+500).
