Rookie of the Year Odds: Paolo Banchero's Hardware to Lose

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero is the favorite for NBA Rookie of the Year.

Paolo Banchero is the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award for the Orlando Magic. He's the team's main offensive player and is leading the Magic with a 28.3% usage rate, 15.9 field goal attempts, and 21.2 points per game.

Mathurin is priced as the leading challenger to Banchero, but his shortest odds are +750. Mathur in best chance to win is if he helps the Pacers to a top-six finish in the Eastern Conference. Tyrese Haliburton is out for a couple of weeks, so that might not help Mathurs' case.

Jaden Ivey is second on the Detroit Pistons in scoring and usage rate. He's second in assists to Kylian Hayes. His shortest odds are +2500. The Pistons have the third worst record in the NBA.

Rookie of the Year odds favor Paolo Banchero.
