The 2025 NBA draft is less than a week away, and while the first two picks seem like a formality, there is plenty of intrigue down the board.
The latest: Cooper Flagg will be a Dallas Maverick unless something incredible happens between now and draft day. Dylan Harper’s landing spot seems predestined, too, with the San Antonio Spurs holding the No. 2 pick. Ace Bailey, meanwhile, has turned heads after cancelling several pre-draft workouts.
Here are the latest 2025 NBA draft odds for the first overall pick and more in the 2025 NBA draft on June 25.

Best 2025 NBA draft odds
The favourite: Flagg (-10,000)
Flagg’s -10,000 odds to get selected first means there’s a 99.01% implied probability he lands with the Mavericks. It also means you would have to wager $10,000 to win $100. Where’s the fun in that?
I would say a 99% chance seems low, though, considering how great the forward was at Duke this year.
Flagg won the Naismith College Player of the Year award as a freshman, averaging 19.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game while playing elite defence and guiding the Blue Devils to the Final Four.
There isn’t much more to say here — Flagg has been the slam-dunk first overall pick for the last few months, and nothing should change that with a few days to go.
The favourite to go second overall: Harper (-10,000)
Harper’s father, Ron, played 15 seasons in the NBA and won five NBA championships.
Those are huge shoes to fill, but the Rutgers Scarlet Knights guard is expected to be more than a great role player, which Ron was.
He averaged 19.4 PPG in a deep Big 10 conference and should form a perfect one-two punch with De’Aaron Fox in San Antonio’s backcourt.
Add that to Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs should be cooking with gas.

2025 NBA draft odds as of 06/25/2025 at 9:15 am.
- V.J. Edgecombe is slated to be picked by the Philadelphia 76ers at No. 3. If that doesn’t happen, he’s still likely to go within the two following picks. The guard averaged 15.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists with the Baylor Bears.
- Bailey — Harper’s teammate on the Scarlet Knights — was the consensus No. 3 pick ahead of the draft. But the swingman has cancelled many of his pre-draft workouts, including one with the 76ers. He is still favoured to land within the top-five picks, though.
Toronto Raptors draft odds
The Raptors are slated to pick ninth this year, sliding two spots down the board in the draft lottery. Assuming they don’t trade the pick, here are a few players on the short list:
| Player | Odds to go ninth overall |
| Khaman Maluach | +200 |
| Noa Essengue | +300 |
| Kasparas Jakucionis | +500 |
| Derik Queen | +500 |
| Carter Bryant | +650 |
| Cedric Coward | +700 |
| Collin Murray-Boyles | +900 |
| Egor Demin | +1,200 |
| Jeremiah Fears | +2,000 |
2025 NBA draft odds as of 06/25/2025 at 9:15 am.
- Will Toronto hold onto the No. 9 overall pick? That might depend on whether they can swing a trade for Kevin Durant or Giannis Antetokounmpo.
- Let’s assume those pie-in-the-sky deals don’t come through. There are six prospects with odds inside of +1,000, starting with Khaman Maluach. The 7-foot-2 Sudanese centre averaged 8.6 points and 6.6 rebounds at Duke.
- Noa Essengue (power forward) is an interesting international choice, averaging 12.4 points with Ratiopharm Ulm in the EuroCup last season.
- Kasparas Jakucionis (guard) had a couple years of pro ball under his belt with Barcelona before averaging 15.0 PPG in NCAA Division I with the Illinois Flighting Illini.
- Derik Queen (centre) made a name for himself with the Maryland Terrapins. He averaged 16.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game and had a strong March Madness tournament.
- Carter Bryant (forward) is rather unpolished, only starting five games for a deep Arizona Wildcats squad. He seems like a reach in this position.
