2024-25 NBA MVP Odds
For the third time in four years, Nikola Jokic was named the NBA MVP. The big man is on a historic run with this award, similar to the one that LeBron James had over it during the mid-2000s. While Jokic continually produces absurd numbers, the talent pool in the NBA is arguably the best it's been, which has led to current favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander being a heavy favorite as we move into April.

Current Favorites
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC Thunder)(-2500 to -10,000): Many expect the OKC Thunder to be one of the top teams in the Western Conference this season, but ultimately, they will only go as far as SGA takes them. The former Kentucky Wildcat finished second in MVP voting last season after averaging 30.1 points and 6.2 assists per game. The scary part about SGA is that it still feels like he can get even better, which is a frightening thought for the rest of the league. As we head into April, SGA is leading the league with 32.6 points per game to go along with 6.4 assists, and 5.0 rebounds per game, as his Thunder are 64-14 on the year.
Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets)(+1000 to +1500): Whether or not the Nuggets can make an NBA Finals run again with the current state of the Western Conference is yet to be determined. Regardless, it's clear that they will continue to get MVP-level numbers from Jokic. In 67 games this season, Jokic is averaging 30 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 10.2 assists per game. With those numbers, Jokic is third in rebounds and points per game and second in the league in assists.
