5 Minute Read2025 NBA Draft Parlay: Predicting The Top 4 Picks
We're just one day away from the 2025 NBA Draft! The first two picks are pretty much set. But it gets a little harder by the third pick. There is a strong consensus that Cooper Flagg will be drafted No. 1 overall by the Dallas Mavericks, and Dylan Harper will go second to the San Antonio Spurs. However, all along, it was Ace Bailey who was expected to go third to the 76ers. Yet, he's been cancelling workouts and interviews and trying to pick his way onto an Eastern Conference team that doesn't already have a superstar. Ultimately, the 76ers have the third pick of the draft, and Ace Bailey is easily the best option at three. However, since the Sixers have Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, it seems unlikely that Bailey will end up with the 76ers. Using FanDuel, there are many already-built parlays that you can consider for the first four draft picks in exact order. I'll discuss which one is the best option below.

2025 NBA Draft Parlay
Exact Order Parlay: 1. Flagg, 2. Harper, 3. Knueppel, 4. Edgecombe (+1000)
The parlay that has the best chance of hitting is Flagg, Harper, Edgecombe, and Knueppel at +145 odds. But Knueppel and Edgecombe may flip by draft day. Again, Flagg and Harper are near locks to go first and second overall. It gets tricky at the No. 3 spot in the draft. The 76ers aren't going to draft a player who doesn't want to be there. The former Baylor prospect is rising up the draft boards due to his sky-high potential. However, it sounds like he struggled during his workout and was extremely nervous with the 76ers. Ultimately, he did well in the interviews, but if the 76ers take some weight from the workout, they'll look elsewhere. Meanwhile, Kon Knueppel is probably a better fit for the 76ers. Knueppel has met with the Sixers. He's a pick-and-roll candidate and will stretch the floor with his ability to shoot. He would fit perfectly with Joel Embiid, who is a terrific passer from the post. He'd also fit well with Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain, who are also both big-time playmakers. He's also super mature for his age and should fit in right away. Meanwhile, Charlotte has always wanted Edgecombe. They expected to grab him at No. 4 all this time, thinking Ace Bailey would go third overall. According to multiple reports, Edgecombe had a great interview process with the Hornets and would be a fun fit alongside LaMelo Ball in Charlotte. Plus, Ace Bailey and Jeremiah Fears have both not worked out for the Hornets. If Edgecombe falls to the Hornets, they'll grab him over the other prospects on the board. This parlay is currently +1000, but it's not unreasonable at all.
