Nikola Jokic has been the NBA Most Valuable Player for the past two seasons, although the latest NBA basketball odds imply that the Serbian is unlikely to make it a consecutive hat-trick of awards. The Denver Nuggets operator has struggled to reach his previous highs and the Center might have to contend with simply being included in an All-Star team this time around.
However, there could be a repeat winner considering that Giannis Antetokounmpo is posting some fantastic numbers right now. The Greek-Nigerian was victorious was able to claim the NBA MVP award in 2019 and 2020, with his numbers proving to be highly impressive this time around and that explains why the basketball betting sites have him as favourites.
Luka Doncic is also near the top of the NBA MVP betting market, having started out for Real Madrid and impressing in the EuroLeague before transferring to the Dallas Mavericks. His betting odds suggest that the point guard is ready to take his chance and start racking up the ultimate individual honour, even if the team are unlikely to go deep in the tournament.
This basketball betting market isn’t a two-player affair and perhaps we’ll see a new winner in the form of Jayson Tatum, with the small forward wowing the crowds with his performances for Boston Celtics this season. As with several other betting contenders, he has been in the All-Star team for the past three years and his odds have been shortening.
