NBA Draft odds: Scoot Henderson's odds skyrocket to go second overall

By Griffin Carroll | Last updated 6/22/23

The back and forth of NBA Draft reporting makes it tough to time the market, and the latest report from NBA Insider Shams Charania has caused serious ripples just hours before the draft.

Sources: Scoot Henderson is gaining serious momentum at No. 2 with the Charlotte Hornets in tonight’s NBA draft. Hornets have been torn over the last week between Henderson and Brandon Miller. Team has final meetings today to settle on decision.

Earlier this morning and for the past 48 hours, it's been Alabama wing Brandon Miller as the heavy favorite to go No. 2 to Charlotte, because of reporting from Adrian Wojnarowski. It seems the decision from the Hornets was far less certain than we were led to believe, as Charania stated earlier today.

With momentum growing that Henderson, an electrifying guard out of the G-League, is Charlotte's preferred pick, the odds have completely flipped on their head.

As of this writing, DraftKings has Henderson as the heavy favorite to be taken second overall, currently set at -320. Miller is now +175 to go second and -200 to be taken third.

With a few hours to go before the NBA Draft begins, this likely isn't the last fluctuation we'll see. Keep your eyes peeled to Twitter in an attempt to beat the books to the punch.
