Toronto Raptors odds to land Giannis Antetokounmpo shorten amid reports

MILWAUKEE – Giannis Antetokounmpo is favoured to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks amid increasing speculation that the two-time NBA MVP is open to being traded this off-season.

The Bucks are the odds-on favorite at -140 by DraftKings to be the team Antetokounmpo is playing for in his first minute of the 2025-26 regular season. That is well ahead of the San Antonio Spurs (+380) and Houston Rockets (+450).

The Rockets crashed out of the play-offs after posting the second-best record in the Western Conference, but have a young and talented roster poised to compete for several years.

That roster could use an experienced star in the mold of Antetokounmpo to make a deeper play-off run next season alongside the likes of Amen Thompson, Antetokounmpo, Tari Eason, and Dillon Brooks.

The Spurs also make for an intriguing destination to pair with young star Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox, who was acquired from Sacramento last season. San Antonio are still armed with a slew of draft picks to help facilitate a deal.

The next shortest odds belong to the Toronto Raptors, who have moved to +1000 with a report by the Toronto Star that there is “mutual interest” should Antetokounmpo be traded. Separately, ESPN reported that the Raptors are “looking for a big fish” in the off-season trade market.

It was originally reported in April that Antetokounmpo would be open to playing elsewhere in 2025-26.

According to the Star’s report on June 1, the Raptors are deep enough at the wing position to combine with first-round picks to make a run at Antetokounmpo, who has spent his first 12 seasons with Milwaukee.

Antetokounmpo, 30, averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists in 2024-25 before Milwaukee were handed their third straight first-round playoff exit.
