  • The Philadelphia 76ers have the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
  • VJ Edgecombe is the favorite to be the third pick in this year’s draft.

The third pick of the NBA Draft is where things get interesting. The Philadelphia 76ers have the No. 3 overall pick after a disastrous 24-58 campaign last year.

Ace Bailey initially started as a +125 favorite to be the No. 3 pick, but VJ Edgecombe has since passed him after opening with +170 odds. Bailey has received 29.8% of bets, while Edgecombe has received 41.4% of the handle.

Here’s a look at the latest NBA Draft odds at the BetMGM online sportsbook to help figure out what the 76ers might do with the No. 3 pick.
