As of Thursday, Ball was the -200 favorite and Edwards was +155.
The Minnesota Timberwolves hold the No. 1 pick in the draft, which is scheduled for Wednesday and will be a studio event with players joining by video conference.
The Timberwolves met with Ball this week.
At BetMGM, Edwards is ahead of Memphis center James Wiseman (+600) and is the favorite to be drafted second overall by the Golden State Warriors.
Dayton forward Obi Toppin, the AP National Player of the Year in 2019-20, is +5000 to be the top pick in the draft at BetMGM. DraftKings lists Toppin at +20000 to go No. 1.
