Duke freshman standout Cooper Flagg is widely expected to be the top pick in this year’s NBA Draft, and now he’s the -600 Wooden Award betting favorite at DraftKings.

Auburn big man Johni Broome was the Wooden Award favorite until he sprained his ankle last Saturday against South Carolina. The injury will not require surgery and is not season-ending but it will cost him a handful of games, while also shaking up the National Player of the Year odds.

On the same day, Flagg delivered a signature performance with an ACC freshman-record 42 points in the Blue Devils’ win over Notre Dame. The 6’9″ freshman is averaging 18.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists.
