Will Rudy Gobert — winner of the last two NBA Defensive Player of the Year awards — make it three straight?
Not according to the current betting market, which lists Lakers big man Anthony Davis as a strong -278 favorite. Gobert is in second currently at +200 odds, followed by Giannis Antetokounmpo (+300) and a bunch of players at +2500 or lower.
The Lakers actually currently own the league's fourth-best defense behind the Bucks, Raptors and Celtics. Davis is third in the league in blocks per game behind just Hassan Whiteside and Brook Lopez. Still, it seems DraftKings thinks the L.A. star will take home the crown when all is said and done.
