2026-2027 NBA Futures: Rookie of the Year November Odds Update

NBA teams have already played about an eighth of the season, as everyone is into double digit games at this point. And while it’s still extremely early, those first 11-12 games have still shown us a lot. Especially from the newcomers to the league.

This year’s rookie class was heralded to say the least, and early on they are living up to those sky high expectations, and then some. The preseason favourite, Grizzlies forward Cam Boozer, remains the favourite on the odds board, but there’s been significant movement behind him.

And when we say favourite, we use it very lightly. In terms of odds, there are five guys right there. Read on for the latest NBA betting odds for the Rookie of the Year futures betting market as well as our breakdown of the recent odds movement!

Odds Movement

Nothing’s changed at the top here. Grizzlies forward and 2026 No. 3 overall pick Cam Boozer is still the odds-on favourite to win this award. He opened as the favourite and saw his odds hit +250 during the preseason. And after three weeks of NBA work, Boozer is validating those oddsmakers that made him such a short favourite in the summer.

His shooting has been pretty poor, but he’s putting up 15.6 points and 10 boards a game to go with over 5.0 assists a night. The surprising part: he’s leading the Grizzlies to a successful start to the campaign. They sit in the top eight in the Western Conference at 6-3 as of this writing. But it’s not a one-man race here.

His biggest competition is Golden State’s Yaxel Lendeborg. He was the 11th pick of this year’s draft, and with the Warriors’ prospects not looking up for the campaign, he had massive +2,000 odds for this award during the preseason.

But he’s a 24-year-old rookie. Pro ready. Which is why we singled him out back in July as our dark horse candidate. Through his first 10 pro games, he’s averaging 21.2 points, 7.2 boards, and 4.0 assists on a really nice 50-40-76 shooting line. Golden State’s 7-3 start hasn’t hurt him either.

The other guys in the mix right now with odds of +550 or shorter are Sacramento’s new point guard, Darius Acuff Jr. (+400, down from +450 in July), Wizards No. 1 overall pick A.J. Dybantsa (+550, up from +400), and Chicago’s first ray of hope in a while, Caleb Wilson (+550, down from +900).
