Test your betting skills on NBA Draft Player Props The NBA Draft is Thursday night and the Portland Trailblazers are on the clock with Seattle next. Will Portland go with the big Buckeye, Greg Oden, or do they take the more athletic Texas Longhorn Kevin Durant? While it’s a given Oden or Durant will go One-and-Two, the big question is who follows at three and who fills out the lottery will list down through the ninth pick. If you think you know, then bet on it.

Oddsmakers at several online sportsbooks including mega book Bodog.com are offering odds on who gets drafted in rounds three through nine. If you are a budding pundit, then this is your chance to make some money.

Depending on which mock-draft you follow or maybe you have created your own list, the third pick is crucial because it can affect the entire first round all the way to the 30^th pick. If you think Florida’s Al Horford goes to Atlanta as the third pick and you made your bet on that projection then you are in trouble if Yi Jianlian, the big man from China is taken in the third spot. Then it’s a scramble and anybody’s guess that goes next.

Below we will provide you the odds, courtesy of Bodog.com, on rounds three through nine.

Pick 3: Atlanta Hawks

Al Horford -500

Mike Conley Jr. +250

Brandan Wright +500

Field (any other player) +450 (Yi Jianlian, if taken by the Hawks would be a winner for Field)

We are hearing rumors the Hawks might go with the Center from China, Yi Jianlian. Are you sure you want to risk $500 to win $100 on Horford? Will Atlanta decide to go with a guard? Conley is projected to be the first guard to go in the draft.

Pick 4: Memphis Grizzlies

Al Horford +450

Mike Conley Jr. +125

Corey Brewer +700

Joakim Noah

Brandan Wright +280

Field +350

Pick 5: Boston Celtics

Corey Brewer +200

Brandan Wright +500

Yi Jianlian +125

Jeff Green +235
