2024-25 NBA MVP odds: SGA takes over as favorite

ByNBAUSA


The NBA season is upon us, which means it’s time to dive into the regular season MVP market.

As the winner of the NBA’s most coveted award in three of the last four seasons, Nikola Jokic will look to make history by winning four out of five.

Celtics legend Bill Russell won four of five from 1960-61 to 1964-65, and LeBron James did the same between 2008-09 and 2012-13.

Those are the only two names to accomplish the feat in league history.

Jokic opened the season at +400 to win the award, and is currently in the top four in the league in points, rebounds and assists.

Let’s take a look at NBA MVP odds at DraftKings as of January 6th.

2024-25 NBA MVP Odds:

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: -145 (Bet from $10 to win a total of $16.90)
Nikola Jokic: +130 (bet $10 to win $23 total)
Giannis Antetokounmpo: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
Jayson Tatum: +2000 (bet $10 to win a total of $210)

Is the NBA MVP race already a two-man race?

Since January 6, Jokic has averaged 31.5 points (second), 13 rebounds (third) and 9.7 assists (second), while shooting 55.3% from the field and 47.3% from beyond the arc.

However, despite those great numbers, he is no longer the favorite after being tied for first place last week. Gilgeous-Alexander is now in the driver’s seat.

As of January 6, SGA’s Thunder are 30-5 on the year (second-best record in the NBA), and have won 15 straight.

Gilgeus-Alexander is third in the league in points per game (31.3) and third in steals (2).

Probably the most impressive thing about SGA’s season so far is that the Thunder are 22-3 without star big man Chet Holmgreen, who suffered a hip injury in November.
