Monday night was a shock-filled one in the NBA.
The Dallas Mavericks stunningly landed the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, despite having just a 1.8% chance of winning the lottery.
While Cooper Flagg is the clear favorite to go No. 1 to Dallas, there are plenty of other talented players who will follow him off the board.
The 2025 NBA Draft is set for June 25-26. Let’s take a look at the odds for who will go second, third and in the top five at DraftKings Sportsbook as of May 14.
No. 2 pick odds
Dylan Harper, Rutgers: -1600 (bet $10 to win $10.63 total)
Ace Bailey, Rutgers: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)
VJ Edgecombe, Baylor: +1700 (bet $10 to win $180 total)
Cooper Flagg, Duke: +5000 (bet $10 to win $510 total)
Tre Johnson:, Texas +6000 (bet $10 to win $610 total)
Khaman Maluach, Duke: +8000 (bet $10 to win $810 total)
What to know: Dylan Harper, a standout freshman from Rutgers, averaged 19.4 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in his only college season. At 6-foot-6, the three-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week set a new Rutgers freshman scoring record with 564 points. However, despite boasting both Harper and Bailey on their roster, the Scarlet Knights went 15-17 on the season and failed to make the NCAA Tournament.
No. 3 pick odds
Ace Bailey, Rutgers: -130 (bet $10 to win $17.69 total)
VJ Edgecombe, Baylor: +115 (bet $10 to win $21.50 total)
Tre Johnson, Texas: +550 (bet $10 to win $65 total)
Kon Knueppel, Duke: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)
Khaman Maluach, Duke: +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)
Dylan Harper, Rutgers: +4000 (bet $10 to win $410 total)
What to know: Harper’s college teammate, Ace Bailey, put together a successful freshman campaign as well. He averaged 17.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. Additionally, Bailey led the team with 38 blocks on the year. Bailey has long been thought to be the third pick, but VJ Edgecombe is not far behind on the oddsboard. The 6-foot-5 freshman averaged 15 points and 5.6 rebounds per game at Baylor. In the third spot is Tre Johnson, a top-five prospect after being named the SEC Freshman of the Year while playing for Texas.

NWSLPA demands policy change on game postponements after Angel City’s Savy King collapses
Imagn Images The NWSL Players Association has demanded that the league update its policy on game postponements in the wake of a medical event during Angel City's win over the Utah Royals on Friday, with defender Savy King later undergoing surgery to correct a heart abnormality."These moments demand humanity, sound judgment, and restraint," a statement from the players association read in part. "Any medical emergency that requires the administration of life-saving care should bring play to an end. The match should not have continued. Our members are elite, world-class competitors who have proven they can perform under unimaginable conditions. That does not mean they should have to."While the medical response demonstrated the highest level of competence and care, the decision to continue play demonstrated how player safety is weighed and operationalized in real time. Incidents of this severity must prioritize […]
How can the Capitals come back from a 3-1 deficit vs. Hurricanes? Start here
ARLINGTON, Va. — A few days ago, speaking before Game 4 of his team’s Stanley Cup playoff series against the Carolina Hurricanes, Washington Capitals coach Spencer Carbery was asked about making lineup changes.At the time, Washington was down 2-1 but with less of a foothold than that suggested; winning a series when you have the puck as infrequently as the Capitals in the first three games is a tough hill to climb.AdvertisementSo, naturally, Carbery was open to mixing things up … with a caveat.“The tricky part of that is those guys have been together all year long, essentially,” Carbery said. “So (if) you’re tinkering with things this time of year, you have to be careful. You want to make adjustments, but you don’t want to go overboard to do something that the group is completely uncomfortable with and haven’t utilized […]

Aaron Judge is hitting like Barry Bonds, so where are all the intentional walks?
Aaron Judge, a childhood Giants fan, knows all about Barry Bonds.The Yankees slugger was raised in the small California town of Linden, about two hours from San Francisco. Like many area ball-lovers his age, Judge stayed up past his bedtime to witness Bonds chase history. He remembers it all: the towering blasts, the sheer dominance, the smothering fear Bonds brought to each plate appearance, the intentional walks.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“He’d get intentionally walked, then walked again, walked again,” Judge told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2022. “Next night, couple more walks, then all of a sudden, in his third at-bat, they’d maybe throw a changeup on the corner, and he’d drive it out to the opposite field.”Two decades later, Judge has become MLB’s modern analog to the Home Run King.The Yankees' slugger is currently in the midst of a most Bonds-ian year.

Why Fantasy managers should expect a Patrick Mahomes rebound despite conservative passing props at sportsbooks
USATSI The 2025 NFL season is still months away, but with the 2025 NFL Draft and free agency all but wrapped up, we have all the information we'll need on how each team's roster is shaping up. The Kansas City Chiefs came up short in the Super Bowl, but have since added pieces at wide receiver and on the offensive line this offseason to bolster the pass game.That sounds like great news for any Fantasy managers looking to invest in Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes this season. Mahomes started his career with a bang, topping 4,700 yards and throwing at least 37 touchdowns in four of his first five seasons as starter. That has made him a permanent fixture near the top of Fantasy football rankings at quarterback, but owners who invested a high pick in Mahomes have been underwhelmed the last two […]
