The NBA Rookie of the Year is no longer a foregone conclusion for #1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama. The betting market suggests it is now a two-horse race with fellow seven-footer, Chet Holmgren.
Wemby remains the favorite but his odds have lowered from -350 to -140 within the past week, thanks to Holmgren’s emergence. The OKC big man has -105 odds after a buzz-worthy stat line of 36 points and 10 rebounds in an overtime win against the Warriors
Here’s our look at the Top 5 contenders for 2024 NBA Rookie of the Year odds from FanDuel:
Victor Wembanyama (-140)
Chet Holmgren (-100)
Ausar Thompson (+3800)
Brandon Miller (+19000)
Scoot Henderson (+21000)
