No, a bettor did not drop $10,000 on Victor Wembanyama to win Defensive Player of the Year right before the star was shutdown for the year.

Victor Wembanyama's extremely promising career hit an important milestone: he played in his first All-Star Game. It turned out to be, in all likelihood, the final game of his second NBA season. Wembanyama is now expected to miss the remainder of the season due to deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.

Dort, standing at 6-foot-4 and 220 lbs, has been the focal point of the OKC Thunder's top-rated defense this season. He currently sits in third place in the DPOY race with odds of +1500 per FanDuel Sportsbook. He is joined by teammates Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams as one of the top six contenders per the oddsmakers.
