Payton Pritchard’s odds to win the NBA Sixth Man of the Year has lowered from -250 to -125 at DraftKings, following the emergence of a few reserves.

The Boston Celtics guard has held favorite status for a few months, averaging 13.9 points off the bench and leading the defending champs with 41.6% shooting from distance.

Malik Beasley of the Detroit Pistons is the second favorite with +180 odds. The sharpshooter ranks third on the team with 16.6 PPG and has made at least three 3-pointers in 11 straight games. Detroit has won 10 of them, climbing to the Eastern Conference’s sixth seed.

De’Andre Hunter (+800) is the third favorite after being traded before the deadline from the Atlanta Hawks to the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers. He has scored in double-figures in seven of the nine games with his new team, including 32 points in an overtime win over Portland.
