2025 NBA Draft odds: Which team will select Cooper Flagg?

Sometimes, losing has its positives, especially when it comes to professional sports. 

Every season, across the four major American sports, teams with the worst regular-season records end up with the best odds to earn a high pick in the subsequent draft. 

Enter Cooper Flagg.

Whichever NBA squads sputter the worst from now until the spring will increase their chances of drafting the Duke star with one of the top picks in the 2025 NBA Draft. 

Let's check out the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook for which team will land Flagg, as of Dec. 23.

Which Team Will Draft Cooper Flagg?

Wizards: +475 (bet $10 to win $57.50 total)
Jazz: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)
Blazers: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)
