Odds Say Joel Embiid Is Rookie Of The Year Lock
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- There's almost no way Joel Embiid does win the NBA's rookie of the year award.
According to Bovada LV, the Sixers' star center is 1/25 to win the award. That means, you have to risk $2,500 just to win $100. A $100 bet would earn you a measly four bucks.
