The 2022 NBA draft betting market is growing more volatile as time ticks down to the first pick Thursday night.
Paolo Banchero is the new favorite to go first overall on a few sportsbooks, including SI Sportsbook—for now, at least.
But Banchero going first would go against ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski report Thursday morning that the order of the first three picks is “increasingly firm” with Smith to Orlando, Holmgren to Oklahoma City and Banchero to Houston. The order in which those pairings occur has the potential to change due to the possibility of a trade.
