NBA MVP Odds: Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo Lead the Way
2023-24 Season Outlook
With the 2023-24 NBA season just around the corner, excitement is building for the highly anticipated MVP race. FanDuel Sportsbook has released its latest odds, and two-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokic is once again the favorite. The Serbian superstar is coming off another dominant season, where he averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game. However, he will face stiff competition from Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is always a threat to claim the award.
Top Contenders
Aside from Jokic and Antetokounmpo, there are several other players who could be in the MVP conversation. Luka Doncic and Joel Embiid are both tied at the peak of the odds market at FanDuel. Doncic is coming off a season where he averaged 34.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game. Embiid, on the other hand, averaged 30.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game. Anthony Davis, Jayson Tatum, and Stephen Curry are also among the contenders to watch.
Edwards' Playoff Performance
One player who could make a leap into the MVP conversation is Anthony Edwards. The Minnesota Timberwolves star had a breakout playoff performance, averaging 25.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. If he can continue to play at a high level during the regular season, he could be a serious contender for the award.
Regular Season Award
The NBA MVP award is presented to the player who is voted as the most valuable during the regular season. A pool of sportswriters and broadcasters cast their votes, and the player with the highest total points wins the award. The MVP award is one of the most prestigious individual awards in the NBA, and it is a testament to the player's dominance and impact on his team.
