  • Andre Snellings looks at the bets to make on MVP, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year and the rest of the major NBA awards.

The article from MSN discusses the current landscape of NBA betting odds for the MVP award as the season progresses. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Nikola Jokić of the Denver Nuggets are highlighted as the frontrunners for the MVP. SGA has been leading the Thunder to a surprising first place in the Western Conference, showcasing his scoring ability, playmaking, and defensive skills. Meanwhile, Jokić continues to dominate with his unique blend of scoring, rebounding, and passing, keeping the Nuggets competitive. The article also mentions other contenders like Luka Dončić, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Jayson Tatum, but notes that catching up to SGA or Jokić would require a significant performance leap or a downturn in the leading candidates' play. Additionally, the piece touches on other NBA awards like Rookie of the Year, where Victor Wembanyama is a strong favorite, and the Sixth Man of the Year, where Malik Monk is currently favored.
