With Wednesday night’s 2020 NBA Draft being an all-virtual event, sports bettors are ready for all the weird things that could go down.

We’ll get a look into the houses of prospects — or their agent-funded Airbnbs — as they wait for the call from their new pro home.

And with that look into those homes comes a look at family, friends and animals, all of which can be bet on.

There’s also the usual No. 1 overall pick bet. So far, LaMelo Ball is the current favorite at -250.

But the real question on bettors’ minds will be who will the No. 1 pick hug first? Will he cry?

Here are some of the weirder bets to place below, courtesy of BetOnline.ag:

Sibling +150
Mom +300
Girlfriend +600
Friend +700

No -2500

Will LaVar Ball be shown during draft?
