Odds as of September 10, 2024
NBA Sixth Man Of The Year Betting Favorite: Malik Monk, Sacramento Kings
Only ten total points in the votes separated Monk and winner Naz Reid last season, with the difference being just a pair of first-place votes as the two players had an equal amount for both second and third place.
Monk just re-signed with the Kings on a fresh four-year contract worth $78 million following a career year in which he averaged 15.4 points and 5.1 assists across 72 appearances. The issue, though, was that his numbers took a massive hit over the final stretch of the season, shooting just a smidge over 35 percent from the field and a disastrous 8.3 percent from 3-point range over his last 15 outings as Reid made a strong push to steal the honor.
If Monk can avoid such a cataclysmic decline next season, then he'll undoubtedly be in the conversation once again.

Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford are widely considered to be two of, if not the two greatest scorers and players off the bench the league has ever seen, and their three Sixth Man of the Year wins apiece justifies such a distinction.
