Sports betting website Bovada released its odds for the 2018-19 NBA Rookie of the Year award Friday, and a few familiar faces made the cut.

Lottery picks Kevin Knox and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, formerly of the Kentucky Wildcats, came in with 15-1 and 40-1 odds, respectively.

Knox was selected with the ninth overall pick by the New York Knicks, while Gilgeous-Alexander went two selections later to the Charlotte Hornets.
