SLUG: sportsbooks-slash-bulls-odds-to-land-giannis-antetokounmpo
Betting markets drastically shortened the Chicago Bulls’ odds of trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo on Monday, pushing the team to the top of several sportsbooks’ trade boards as the deadline approaches.
The sudden shift follows a surge of wagers backing Chicago to complete a deal for the Milwaukee superstar. Lines that had previously labeled the Bulls as long shots moved sharply in their favor, while odds on other potential destinations widened.
With the trade cutoff drawing near, no team has confirmed negotiations, but bookmakers said they are adjusting lines to reflect the wave of action centered on Chicago.
