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

At 6-foot-6, the three-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week set a new Rutgers freshman scoring record with 564 points.
