With the 2022 NBA Draft approaching, here are the top betting opportunities to consider:

Chet Holmgren First Overall (+205)

• 7-foot Gonzaga prospect with elite rim protection and shooting ability
• Can space the floor, make passes, and defend at a high level
• Proved himself against top college competition
• Orlando Magic have history of success with big men at #1 (Shaq, Dwight Howard)
• Strong value at +205 despite Jabari Smith Jr. being the favorite

Keegan Murray Fourth Overall (-106)

• Sacramento Kings likely to choose between Murray and Jaden Ivey at #4
• Murray fills Kings' need at forward with Barnes/Lyles becoming free agents
• Better fit than Ivey alongside Fox and Mitchell in backcourt
• Strong value if Kings keep the pick rather than trade it

Johnny Davis to Cavaliers (+1200)

• Former Big Ten Player of the Year and consensus top-10 prospect
• Late ankle injury dropped his draft stock
• Polished guard who can contribute immediately to playoff contender
• Addresses Cavs' offensive needs despite not being elite shooter
• Strong value at +1200 if he slides to #14

The draft begins Thursday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. While no pick is guaranteed, these bets offer good value based on team needs and prospect evaluations.
