Payton Pritchard Is Betting Favorite To Win Notable NBA Award

Coming off the 2024 NBA Championship, the Boston Celtics entered the 2024-25 NBA season as the favorites to repeat.

The Celtics boast a deep and talented roster that can space the floor, bombard teams from beyond the arc, and play lockdown defense on the other end.

While Boston currently sits in second in the Eastern Conference standings behind the Cleveland Cavaliers, they should still be considered a major threat to win it all because of their collective experience playing postseason basketball.

The Celtics have one of the best starting groups in the league led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, but they’ve also got a strong supporting cast.

For example, Payton Pritchard has been a steady force off the bench as a scorer and outside shooter.

Pritchard’s in the midst of a career year and is now considered the betting favorite to win the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award via Bovada.

“Payton Pritchard is the heavy favorite to win 6MOY, per @BovadaOfficial.”

“Payton Pritchard -200 De’Andre Hunter +400 Malik Beasley +500 Naz Reid +1100 Amen Thompson +3000 Santi Aldama +7500 Bradley Beal +10000 Ty Jerome +10000,” the tweet says.

Pritchard is currently averaging 14.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists while shooting 47.1 percent from the field and 41.5 percent from the 3-point line.

His accuracy from beyond the arc makes him a dangerous threat for defenses as he can make them pay whenever they sag off of him.

Pritchard has steadily improved every year since being drafted and his growth and development has been a huge boon for Boston.

The Celtics have no shortage of quality role players on their team and Pritchard’s strong play has given them an excellent shot of winning it all again.
