NBA Free Agency Odds: Where Will Ayton and Carmelo Land?

While many top names found new teams when NBA free agency began on June 30, there are still some solid basketball stars looking for their next squad.

The best basketball betting sites like Bovada have updated their wide range of props for NBA free agency odds this offseason, with key players like Carmelo Anthony and Deandre Ayton still available either on the sign-and-trade market or in free agency.

A lot of these players could directly impact NBA championship futures, which is why it’s important for basketball handicappers to pay attention to NBA news and these basketball free agency odds. Check out our updated NBA free agency odds and where we think these stars will sign:

NBA Free Agency Odds

The way these NBA free agency props work is the player must be on the team’s roster to start the 2022-23 NBA regular season. Some of the odds include the player’s current team while other NBA free agency props relate only to a player leaving his current squad, so be sure to check.

Let’s break down each of the big ones for NBA free agency odds and where the player could end up to start the 2022-23 season:

Carmelo Anthony NBA Free Agency Odds

Odds as of July 14 at Bovada

The odds say Carmelo Anthony will return to his 2021 team, but maybe there’s a spot for him in New York. He’s long been linked to the Knicks, and the Nets could soon have an opening at small forward if Kevin Durant goes elsewhere.

Deandre Ayton Free Agency Odds

Odds as of July 14 at Bovada

Easily our best bet for the remaining NBA free agency odds is for Ayton to end up with the Nets. There’s been so much talk about a potential Ayton sign-and-trade, and that move being involved with a Durant-to-the-Suns swap, that there’s no explanation for this +1400 value.

Sure, he probably ends up in Indiana or flipped somewhere else, but where there’s Nets smoke, there’s fire. And at this value, we’ll hammer it.

Dennis Schroder Free Agency Odds

Odds as of July 14 at Bovada

Schroder has misplayed his hand in free agency in recent years, and it looks like he’ll be on the market for a while again this summer. If he’s looking to chase rings, the Heat are the best bet. But we think he’ll probably go somewhere with guaranteed playing time, and the Pistons and Hornets are the best wagers for that.
