DraftKings’ director of sports operations Johnny Avello has listed hypothetical odds on which celebrities will be spotted on celebrity row when the New York Knicks host the San Antonio Spurs during the NBA Finals.

Key Takeaways

Mainstays Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, and Timothee Chalamet own the shortest odds.

Zohran Mamdani (+5,000) and Taylor Swift (+6,000) are among the long shots.

Odds are not available for betting and only for entertainment purposes.

The list of celebrity names goes 60 deep and includes noted Knicks fans Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, and Timothee Chalamet (-25,000), media personalities Mike Francesa (+400) and Howard Stern (+1,000), and the aforementioned President.

Trump has said he plans to attend a Finals game at MSG.

“I think I’ll be going to one of the games,” the President said in May. “I was invited by numerous people, and (owner James Dolan), and I think I’ll be going.”

But will he sit courtside? DraftKings lists the odds of that happening at -125, a near coin flip.

All eyes on New York City

The Knicks are returning to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999 and haven’t won a championship since 1973.

With the Knicks’ championship drought and New York’s place as the largest media market in America, all eyes will be on their series against sophomore star Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs.

Celebrity row looked a little different the last time the Knicks were in the Finals.

Sure shots and long shots

The sure bets include director and diehard Knicks fan Spike Lee, comedian and New York native Tracy Morgan, Stiller, and Chalamet at -25,000 odds. Chalamet’s girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, comes in a shade below at -20,000.
