NBA Rookie of the Year Odds: Sharp Early Season Moves by Barnes, Giddey and Duarte on FanDuel Sportsbook

Two weeks into the 2021-22 NBA season and there are some major odds moves in the Rookie of the Year race. FanDuel Sportsbook has odds on a variety of award markets, and the Rookie of the Year race is one to watch throughout the season.

Houston Rockets shooting guard Jalen Green (+310) is now the early favorite ahead of first overall NBA draft pick Cade Cunningham (+500). But Scottie Barnes (+500) of the Toronto Raptors has shot up the odds board to +500 as he's scored 106 points in the opening six games. Barnes opened the season at +1300 to win Rookie of the Year.

But 19-year-old Aussie sensation Josh Giddey of the Oklahoma City Thunder has opened eyes early and his ROY odds are down sharply from +2900 to +650. Chris Duarte of the Indiana Pacers has also made a major move from +4600 to +900 after scoring 18.7 points per game through six contests.

Josh Giddey was also insane vs the Lakers. One of the best rookie games I've seen yet. 18 points, but what you'll see below are all 10 assists. Every kickout directly in shooting pocket. Two awesome one-handed whips. And note: went to him w/ game on the line w/ DHO in last clip. pic.twitter.com/Hztejl6roO

And Evan Mobley is getting strong reviews from LeBron James, with Mobley's ROY odds now +500.

LeBron on Evan Mobley: "He's going to be a damn good basketball player in this league. It's so crazy because he was just playing against my son a few years ago."
