NBA Sixth Man of the Year Odds - Quickley & Brogdon Preseaon Favorites
Last season was an utter tilt-a-whirl for Sixth Man of the Year contenders, as the NBA odds to crown the league's best bench player were in heavy flux all season.
While Russell Westbrook was a comfortable favorite above mass movement for months, his seemingly-inevitable trade brought a starter's role and two new favorites — Immanuel Quickley and Malcolm Brogdon — whose odds oscillated violently down the stretch, with the latter eventually winning.
Both will be plugged into similar roles this season, so it's not a huge surprise to see their names atop the Sixth Man of the Year odds table for 2023-24.
Let's take a look at the rest of the preseason NBA 6MOY odds contenders.

Favorite to win NBA Sixth Man of the Year
Immanuel Quickley (+700)
Immanuel Quickely rode a meteoric rise in the Sixth Man odds last year, sitting in the +3,000 range for most of the season, then exploding over the final few months with a steadier role in Tom Thibodeau's rotation.
The Knicks' two-way bench sparkplug closed as a -370 favorite in the market, but was still upended by Brogdon when the ballots were revealed.
This season should bring a full slate of that production, with Quickley having proven himself a valuable cog in the Knicks' eventual success. Better yet, at just 24, he could still have upside left to yield, unlike many favorites in this market.
Malcolm Brogdon (+800)
The Celtics badly needed some tertiary scoring and playmaking, and Malcolm Brogdon filled that role to a T, even if Boston's end result fell short of expectations.
Brogdon's production wavered throughout the early season, but was a crucial cog throughout both regular season and playoffs. With Marcus Smart departed, that role will only be amplified, now likely the beneficiary of more minutes in the C's less-cramped backcourt.
Brogdon played a career-low 26.0 minutes per game last year, but, far more importantly, he appeared in 67 games — the most since his rookie season, after missing large chunks of the previous three campaigns.
If his durability can be extrapolated to more minutes, Brogdon's going to be a threat to repeat here.

Understanding NBA Sixth Man of the Year odds
Most Sportsbooks will display odds in the American format as listed above. We'll use 2022-23's 6MOY race as an example:
As the season progressed, with Quickley having been a huge favorite, his odds had a minus (-) sign ahead of the number:
- Immanuel Quickley -300
This means that a bettor needs to wager $300 to win $100. Other candidates with worse odds would have a plus (+) sign ahead of the number. Early in the season, before any clear favorite is established, betting options will be listed as such:
- Russell Westbrook +650
Here, a bettor stands to profit $650 for every $100 wagered.
If American odds aren't your thing, simply use our odds converter to switch the odds to decimal or fractional format. Most online Sportsbooks also give you the option to change the odds format that you see.

NBA 6MOY betting trends
Here are some trends you'll want to keep in mind when betting on NBA Sixth Man of the Year:
- Guards have absolutely owned this award recently, winning 6MOY in 11 of the past 12 seasons.
- Only three centers (Montrezl Harrell '20, Roy Tarpley '88, and Bill Walton '86) have won 6MOY in its 41-year history.
- Further, since Antawn Jamison won playing out of position as a small forward on the 2003-04 Dallas Mavericks, only two non-guards (Lamar Odom '11, Montrezl Harrell '20) have claimed the trophy.
- Both Jamal Crawford ('10, '14, '16) and Lou Williams ('15, '18, '19) are recent three-time winners, so voter fatigue may matter less in this market.
