Current Favorites
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC Thunder): The Thunder fell in the conference semi-finals this past season, but the future is bright in OKC. In fact, it's so bright that the Thunder currently sits right behind the Celtics on the odds board for the 2024-25 NBA Champion, as they are 64-12 entering early April. As for SGA, he is the heavy favorite to win the regular season MVP, as he's averaging a league-high 32.8 points per game.
Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics): After knocking on the door the past few seasons, Jayson Tatum got his first NBA Championship. While that is a significant weight off Tatum and the rest of the Celtics' shoulders, the question now becomes whether they can get back to the promised land. With a 56-20 record, Boston is second in the Eastern Conference, and Tatum is leading the team in points (27), rebounds (8.7), and assists (5.9) per game.
Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics): Out of the two Celtics star players, Brown was the one who continually stepped up on offense throughout the entire 2024 postseason, proving no moment was too big for him. Whenever the Celtics needed a big performance on their Finals run, Brown answered the call, and with Boston favored to repeat, Brown could have a chance to repeat as Finals MVP. Through 60 games this season, Brown is averaging 22.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.
