2017 NBA Draft Betting Preview: Markelle Fultz, Lonzo Ball, Jayson Tatum Odds

With the Philadelphia 76ers trading for the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday's NBA draft and reportedly planning to take Washington's Markelle Fultz, the race is on to figure out who the rest of the teams in the top 10 might select.

The biggest name other than Fultz is obviously UCLA's Lonzo Ball, who is listed at -260 (bet $260 to win $100) to go to his hometown Los Angeles Lakers with the second overall pick in the draft.

However, bettors who think Ball might slip past the Lakers can get a nice payout of +200 (bet $100 to win $200) by wagering on the field at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark. Ball and Fultz are widely viewed as the clear-cut top two choices on the board, and both guards look to be franchise players who can turn their teams around.

The Celtics acquired the No. 3 overall pick from the 76ers in their deal, setting themselves up well for the future. As far as this year goes, though, Boston could select another guard like Kentucky's De'Aaron Fox or Malik Monk, or the team could opt to go with a forward such as Duke's Jayson Tatum or Kansas' Josh Jackson.

What the Celtics ultimately decide to do with the third pick may cause a domino effect on the rest of the top 10 and could also involve another trade.

Fox (-140) and Tatum (-120) are each favored to be taken among the first four selections (under 4.5) on the NBA draft props board, with the Phoenix Suns virtually guaranteed to get a top player as well at No. 4 overall.

From there, other former college freshmen like Monk, Florida State's Jonathan Isaac and North Carolina State's Dennis Smith Jr. could be called in the top 10. Isaac is a solid -185 favorite to go under 6.5, while Monk is -125 chalk to be picked under eight. Smith is -130 to be taken over 8.5, with the under listed at +100.

The first international player selected is expected to be France's Frank Ntilikina. According to oddsmakers, he will go in the top 10 with under 9.5 favored at -125.
