For several weeks, I look at mock drafts everyday in order to find value bets on the NBA Draft. Doing this research has allowed me to hit longshots annually on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft. Last year, my +3000 bet on Benneduct Mathurin to go fifth overall closed at -120 on FanDuel. It did not hit, but it was still a valuable wager. This year, I hit a +7500 on Jake Moody to go to the 49ers and +3500 on the Buffalo Bills to draft a tight end with their first selection just by studying mock drafts and following the tweets of various NFL reporters. Applying that strategy to the NBA Draft, this is how I ultimately think the NBA Draft lottery will unfold, given talent, draft positioning, and team needs.
