As forecasted by the betting market, Duke product Cooper Flagg is assured to hear his name called first in the draft by the Mavericks. Rutgers guard Dylan Harper should go second overall, but the third pick is where rumors are beginning to swirl.
\nWith Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George headlining the 76ers’ roster, Philadelphia could look to bolster its backcourt with Maxey or tack on a versatile four-man in 6-foot-7 forward Ace Bailey. When sportsbooks initially posted NBA draft odds in early May, Bailey was set at +105 to be taken with the third overall pick. Baylor guard V.J. Edgecombe was in the +130 range.
\nNevertheless, the 76ers recently hosted Edgecombe for a private workout, indicating that Philly may have more interest in the 6-foot-5, 180-pound guard. As of this publication, Edgecombe has leapfrogged Bailey as the -125 favorite for this pick.
\nBy converting those odds to implied probability, there’s a 55.6% chance Edgecombe is gone by the third selection. Elsewhere, Bailey is +230 among No. 3 pick odds, equivalent to a 30.3% implied probability. Some draft pundits have pegged Bailey as the next Kevin Durant. Others cite his inability to help propel Rutgers to the NCAA tournament as a reason for concern. As a result, Bailey could fall as low as No. 6 overall to the Brooklyn Nets.
\nThere’s also a scenario that Philadelphia opts to trade back in the draft, with New Orleans reportedly interested in snagging Bailey.
\nTexas guard Tre Johnson, whose odds for this pick have shrunk from +850 to as low as +275, has quietly been mocked to the 76ers as well. The 6-foot-6 freshman exhibited his dynamic playmaking in isolation sets while shooting 39.7% from behind the arc.
\nJohnson’s efficiency is even more notable considering he faced the Big 12’s physical competition on a nightly basis. When evaluating Philly’s options, 76ers president Daryl Morey noted that the organization is targeting a “high upside player that we feel can also contribute right away is a big deal.” Between the three prospects often linked to Philadelphia, Johnson best fits this description.

After the Houston Rockets were initially favored to acquire Durant from the Phoenix Suns this offseason, the San Antonio Spurs have leaped ahead and are now the odds-on favorites. Let’s break down the latest Kevin Durant odds and a potential trade scenario.

San Antonio Spurs | -125 | \n
Minnesota Timberwolves | +400 | \n
Houston Rockets | +1000 | \n
Phoenix Suns | +1000 | \n
Miami Heat | +1000 | \n

Toronto Raptors | +3000 | \n

Per the table above, San Antonio is a -125 favorite to acquire the 15-time NBA All-Star. By converting these betting odds to implied probability, the Spurs have a 55.5% chance of trading for Durant. Last week, they were as high as +1000, equivalent to a 9.1% implied probability.
\nGiven that sportsbooks generally don’t accept large wagers on these betting markets, it wouldn’t take much to move Kevin Durant’s next-team odds. Prominent sports media voices often trigger these shifts.
\n“I wouldn’t be surprised if KD to the Spurs is done already and they (the Suns) just haven’t announced it,” longtime host Bill Simmons said on his podcast. “They’ve (probably) agreed on the specifics, and they’ll just announce it the week of the draft.”
\nSpeaking on Tuesday’s edition of Get Up, ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst echoed the same sentiment, stating his belief that the Suns will trade Durant “in the coming weeks.”
\nEven at 36 years old, Durant remains one of the league’s best, notching 26.6 points per game while shooting 43.0% from behind the arc last season. Oddsmakers are bracing for San Antonio to pair Victor Wembanyama with Durant in more ways than one, lining the Spurs at +1600 to win the 2026 NBA championship. They’re tied with the Timberwolves, Nuggets, and Lakers for the sixth-shortest odds on the board.
\nAfter acquiring De’Aaron Fox ahead of the trade deadline and witnessing Stephon Castle’s stellar rookie of the year campaign, Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson’s roles appear expendable. This trade would provide the Suns with two budding stars and another first-round selection in this year’s draft. BYU product Egor Demin would represent an intriguing fit if Phoenix goes down this path, showcasing a dynamic playmaking skillset and potential shooting upside.

Infantino’s vision will come to life at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, with 63 matches to determine the first global club world champions. Which clubs are worth betting on? Let’s parse through the odds for the FIFA Club World Cup, with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich atop the betting board.
\nClick any FIFA Club World Cup odds below to place a wager. For more sportsbook promos, we recommend checking out the best sports betting sites.
\nAfter snatching back the Bundesliga title from Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich will vy to stake their claim as the best in the world. Vincent Kompany boasts one of the best clubs in the 32-team field, possessing elite-level talent up front. The club generated 99 goals in 34 Bundesliga matches, which is reflected in their odds to emerge victorious in Group C.
\nBayern Munich bested Real Madrid on transfer spend via Harry Kane, Matthijs de Ligt, Sadio Mane, Michael Olise and Joao Palhinha. Despite coasting to this year’s Bundesliga championship by 13 points, Kane and Co. fell short against Inter in the Champions League quarter-finals.
\nLike the Champions League, every possible result is on the table in this one-of-a-kind event.
\nKane, the 2024-25 Bundesliga top scorer, has delivered (and then some) in previous tournaments, taking home the Golden Boot in the 2018 FIFA World Cup before sharing the award at the UEFA Euro 2024. After leading the way in last year’s UEFA Champions League, his goalscoring prowess should wreak havoc in this tournament.
\nBy converting the Herons’ best odds to implied probability, they only have a 1.3% chance of winning the FIFA Club World Cup. That said, their group doesn’t include any favorites, joining Palmeiras, Porto, and Al Ahly in Group A. Not only are their odds to advance intriguing, but their starpower in Lionel Messi and his former Barcelona teammates (Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba) could carry them on a deep run.

At Lineups.com, we break down how late scratches, rotations, and matchups affect your bets across every major league—so you can stay ahead of the market. Staying updated on lineup changes gives you an edge over casual bettors. Understanding which players are trending up or down based on usage is crucial. Cross-referencing lineup news with odds movement can help you identify value in markets.
In the NBA, one injury can move a spread or total by multiple points. In baseball, a rested star hitter can shift the run total. In the NFL, an inactive RB reshapes the entire offense. Reacting quickly allows bettors to catch value before the market adjusts. Notifications and beat reporter alerts are essential tools. Success often comes from making timely decisions based on these real-time updates.
Across all sports, player-vs-position matchups are key. Think point guards vs. weak perimeter defenders in NBA, lefty/righty splits in MLB, or tight ends vs. soft zone coverage in NFL. Identifying these edges can help you dominate prop betting and DFS contests. Digging into recent opponent trends can expose soft spots in the defense. Many betting models account for these variables now. It's important to combine eye test with data when evaluating matchups.
Going beyond box scores gives you a major edge. In NBA, target players with high usage rate, true shooting %, and assist chances. For MLB, think xBA, wOBA, and barrel rate. In NFL, focus on air yards, target share, and red zone usage. Understanding these numbers helps you interpret player potential more accurately. These metrics allow you to anticipate which players may break out. Spotting statistical trends early gives you an upper hand in the market.
Second units win games—and bets. In the NBA, sixth men stepping up for injured starters can break slates. In MLB, late bullpen changes swing live bets. In NFL, backup RBs and WR3s gain value with the right opportunity. Understanding second-unit dynamics is critical for live betting. Rotation shifts often impact total points and pace. Following coaching tendencies helps predict in-game decisions.
Lineups.com tracks all the top sportsbook promos to help maximize your bets across sports. These offers provide value regardless of your preferred league. Take advantage of welcome offers and reload bonuses to extend your bankroll. Many sportsbooks also offer odds boosts on popular games. Keeping track of limited-time offers ensures you don’t miss extra value.
Success in Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) depends heavily on lineup news, matchups, and usage trends. Building around high-usage players in favorable spots, especially when injuries open up value plays, is a proven strategy for winning in both cash games and GPPs. Look for players expected to see 30+ minutes with high usage rates. Late-swap flexibility gives you an edge as news breaks. Correlating multiple players from the same game can also increase upside.
In DFS, look for high-usage roles across all leagues: NBA guards playing 35+ minutes, MLB hitters in top-3 lineup spots, or NFL RBs with goal-line work. In season-long fantasy, stay active on the wire by tracking role shifts, snap counts, and platoon changes weekly. Reading between the lines of coach-speak is also important. Target players in games with high implied totals. Prioritize opportunity over name recognition for long-term value.
Fast pace and high scoring matter in every sport. In NBA, target teams playing in back-to-backs or against fast-paced squads. In MLB, focus on park factors and weather. In NFL, shootout potential and dome games can swing lineups. Temperature and wind can dramatically alter outcomes. Tracking total movement gives you insight into betting sentiment. Game script also plays a crucial role in fantasy production.
Rolling averages and recent usage rates matter more than season stats. A WR seeing a surge in target share, a hitter with rising hard-hit rates, or a forward with a spike in shot volume—all signal opportunity. DFS winners monitor these trends across slates. Advanced splits reveal hidden advantages. Using tools that aggregate this data makes it more actionable. Being early to a breakout is key in tournaments.
In season-long leagues, lineup consistency, role security, and usage are key factors for long-term success. Tracking how coaches manage rotations and how players adapt to expanded roles is essential when managing waiver claims and trade value. Backup players often become league-winners. Usage spikes following injuries must be monitored weekly. Flexibility is key when managing multiple leagues.
Starters with stable minutes and roles bring week-to-week reliability. However, sixth men and deep-bench players can become fantasy gold mines when injuries hit. Monitor rotation trends, especially after the All-Star break when teams start managing workloads differently. Some role players shine in specific matchups. Depth charts change fast with performance swings. Data-driven projections help track shifting value.
Waiver wire success comes down to timing. When a starter is ruled out, add the next-man-up before he breaks out. Prioritize players who produce across multiple categories—like steals, blocks, and threes—even if they’re inconsistent scorers. Week-to-week roles can change based on injury or form. Being aggressive early in the week gives you an edge. Consider short-term streamers to patch injury holes.
Injuries, slumps, and coaching adjustments all affect rotations. Staying ahead of changes—especially in tight playoff races—can provide valuable roster upgrades. Following beat writers and using depth chart tools can give you a weekly edge. Players with versatile skill sets often gain more minutes. Watch how rookies are phased into rotations. Changes in tempo or playstyle often signal role shifts.
