Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton favorites to win NBA 2K20 tournament

Vegas has not been quick to call the Phoenix Suns favorites to win it all in the past decade-plus. But with the coronavirus suspending actual NBA action, oddsmakers believe two Suns are favorites to win the players-only NBA 2K20 tournament that will tip off virtually on Friday.

Devin Booker (+350) is the favorite to win the 16-player event while teammate Deandre Ayton (+500) has the second-best odds, according to BetOnline.

Booker, of course, is an avid gamer who has embedded himself in the esports community. He’s even used his platform to raise money amid the coronavirus outbreak.

For the 2K players-only event, players were asked to choose eight current teams to play as, but they can only use each team once.

They were seeded based on their personal 2K ratings.
