Kevin Durant's Next Team Odds Continue to Shift
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant requested a trade last week, and his odds at DraftKings Sportsbook continue to shift.
The Phoenix Suns remain the betting favorite to be Durant’s next team, but the two-time NBA Champion remaining in Brooklyn is now the outcome with the second shortest odds.

The Toronto Raptors had the second shortest odds to land Durant Tuesday, but they’ve now flip flopped with the Nets, and Phoenix’s odds have also dropped.
It’s also been quiet on the news front, as ESPN Senior NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski, and Senior NBA Insider for The Athletic Shams Charania haven’t offered up any trade speculation or insight on where Brooklyn is even at in its potential negotiations.
Of course, considering Durant is under contract with the organization, the Nets can obviously opt to ignore the trade request and let the chips fall where they may.
DraftKings bookmakers are clearly considering that reality with the shifted odds. Or, the shorter number could be an attempt to take less action on the Nets in the betting market.
Obviously, too, the likelihood Durant sticks with Brooklyn increases with every day the Nets are unable to find a trade partner.
Finally, regardless of the motivation for DraftKings adjusting their lines in this market, it’s a fascinating lense to view the story through.
