- 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 yearโs award in 2024-25.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid claimed last yearโs NBA Sixth Man of the Year award, besting Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk by 10 total points in votes. And itโs 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, Reidโs 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, hereโs a look at the latest NBA odds and who might be the best bet to win this yearโs award:

NBA Sixth Man of the Year Odds: Payton Pritchard Now Favored
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard is now the betting favorite (+170) to win NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award. He was as long as 100/1 entering the 2024-25 season.
If only there was a person who suggested betting on Pritchard at 100/1 this summer.
Oh wait, that’s me.
Pritchard being on top of this market is obviously great to see, and he’s playing well enough to claim this honor for the Celtics. But these awards aren’t handed out in November.
If you followed my preseason bet, this might be the time to find value elsewhere on the board.
Monk’s +6600 price tag is intriguing, especially since he opened as the betting favorite to win NBA Sixth Man of the Year. Monk will score plenty of points off the bench and the Kings might be better than people expect.
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert are also on my radar as two solid reserves on elite teams.
This race will remain wide open for much of the 2024-25 NBA season.
Prediction: Payton Pritchard (+170)
