  • Get the latest betting odds on the top favorites for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year race.
  • Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard is the betting favorite to win this yearโ€™s award in 2024-25.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid claimed last yearโ€™s NBA Sixth Man of the Year award, besting Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk by 10 total points in votes. And itโ€™s a sign that voters might have changed their process regarding this award.

The 6MOY award has gone to a bucket-getting reserve on a good team for years. Over the last 15 seasons, the winner of this award has averaged 17.4 points per game on a team that averaged 52.1 wins.

During that span, Reidโ€™s 13.5 points per game was the lowest-scoring average among all winners. He and Malcolm Brogdon (2022-23 6MOY) are the only two players to average below 15 points per game since 2009-10.

But Reid and Brogdon played on top teams when they won their award. The Timberwolves won 56 games last year, while the Celtics posted 57 wins in the previous season. The last four players to win 6MOY have been on a team that won 52-plus games.

With that in mind, hereโ€™s a look at the latest NBA odds and who might be the best bet to win this yearโ€™s award:

NBA Sixth Man of the Year Odds: Payton Pritchard is Solid Favorite

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard is the betting -165 to win the Sixth Man of the Year award. That gives him an implied probability of 62.26% to win the award.

Remarkably, he was a 100/1 long shot entering the 2024-25 season.

And who suggested betting on Pritchard at 100/1 this summer? Thatโ€™s rightโ€”me.

Seeing Pritchard atop this market is exciting, especially since heโ€™s performing well enough to earn the honor. Earlier this season, he became the first Boston reserve to score 20-plus points in four straight contests since Isaiah Thomas accomplished the feat in 2015.

However, itโ€™s important to remember that awards arenโ€™t won in the winter. If you took my preseason advice, now might be a good time to explore other value picks.

Pritchard may be the favorite, but Iโ€™ll be keeping a close watch on this race to identify the best opportunities.

Prediction: Payton Pritchard (-165)
