NBA MVP Odds

The list of players that have won the NBA MVP award is really impressive. Previous winners include basketball legends such as Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Steve Nash, and Kobe Bryant. More recently, NBA stars like James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, Kevin Duran, and Giannis Antetokounmpo have collected the MVP award. So, MVP candidates have some big shoes to fill.

Bookies make Slovenian superstar Luka Doncic their odds-on favorite for the Most Valuable Player award next season. Doncic is one of the best shooting guards in the league and is the man to beat for the 2022-23 NBA MVP award if you ask bookmakers. Doncic, who is the bookies' first choice to win MVP for the third consecutive season, is followed by NBA's leading scorer from last season, Joel Embiid. The 76ers star was outstanding last year and had career-bests in field goals, assists, and steals per game.

However, just like the Dallas Mavericks star, Joel Embiid is yet to be named MVP. That's not the case with the other MVP favorites in the bookies' Top 5 - Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant, and Nikola Jokic. They know how it feels to be MVP and come with pretty decent NBA MVP odds too.

And if you are looking for a value MVP bet, two-time reigning MVP winner Nikola Jokic might be the best pick of the three. Unlike last year, this season, the Joker will get all the help he needs from Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray, who are both healthy again. If the Denver Nuggets star wins the award for the third straight season, he will go down in NBA history as only the fourth player to have achieved that, joining the likes of Larry Bird, Bill Russell, and Wilt Chamberlain.

NBA Defensive Player of the Year Odds

The NBA Defensive Player of the Year is given to the best defensive player of the regular season. NBA legends like Dennis Rodman, Hakeem Olajuwon, Ben Wallace, and Draymond Green have won the award and have been instrumental in their teams winning the NBA Finals. So, the player that wins the NBA Defensive Player of the Year frequently helps his team reach great heights.

And that's what Rudy Gobert and Bam Adebayo might do this upcoming season, as the Minnesota Timberwolves and Miami Heat stars are favorites with most online sportsbooks and get favorites' NBA DPOY odds. Of the two, Gobert is the front-runner, which is not surprising, considering the French star has won the award three times so far.

Bam Adebayo is also a decent pick. The Olympics champion has been growing into his role over the past two seasons, and took Miami all the way to the NBA finals two years ago and guided the Heat to the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

If you are looking for slightly higher NBA Defensive Player of the Year odds, though, consider Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Milwaukee Bucks star is not just a top favorite to win NBA MVP. He is one of the front runners in this market too. Unlike his 2023 NBA MVP odds, though, Antetokounmpo's NBA Defensive Player of the Year odds are more generous. So, he is an excellent outside bet if you think Rudy Gobert and Bam Adebayo will drop the ball in the upcoming season.

Name	Odds by BetTarget
Rudy Gobert	5.15
Bam Adebayo	6.45
Giannis Antetokounmpo	9.55
Robert Williams	10.30
Draymond Green	10.70
Mikal Bridges	14.60
Evan Mobley	15.80
Marcus Smart	17.80
Anthony Davis	19.20
Joel Embiid	19.30

NBA Rookie of the Year Odds

The NBA Rookie of the Year award is given to the top rookie of the regular season and is a great indicator for future NBA MVP winners. The likes of Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, LeBron James, and Derrick Rose have all won both the NBA Rookie and NBA MVP awards.

Paolo Banchero from the Orlando Magic might follow that path too. At least, that's what the bookies think, as they give him the lowest NBA ROY odds. The American-Italian was selected as the first overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, and big things are expected from him right from the get-go. Time will tell if the Duke Blue Devils star will also become an MVP candidate.

Fourth and fifth overall NBA Draft picks Keegan Murray, and Jaden Ivey are behind Banchero, and so is Jabari Smith from the Houston Rockets and Pacers' Benedict Mathurin. All other rookie players outside this Top 5 have significantly higher NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Name	Odds by Sportsbet.io
Paolo Banchero	2.95
Keegan Murray	6.00
Jaden Ivey	6.50
Jabari Smith	7.00
Benedict Mathurin	9.50
Shaedon Sharpe	25.00
Dyson Daniels	29.00
Tari Eason	29.00
Johnny Davis	31.00
Jalen Williams	31.00

NBA Most Improved Player of the Year Odds

The player who makes the most progress during the regular season wins the NBA Most Improved Player of the Year award. The likes of Tracy McGrady, Boris Diaw, Paul George, and Jimmy Butler have won this regular season award after making a giant leap performance-wise from the year before.

Also, two of the players with the lowest NBA MVP odds this season, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant, have also won the NBA MIP award. So, you might be placing a basketball bet at NBA MIP odds this year and backing the same player to win NBA MVP at enticing MVP odds next season.

If you are doing that, your top pick will likely be Anthony Edwards. Edwards is a shooting guard playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves and is the favorite with online sportsbooks. Together with Karl Anthony-Towns, Edwards led the Timberwolves' offense last season, and many say that the Ant-Man is now the main man in Minnesota. Could we see Edwards in the All-NBA First Team soon? We won't be surprised if we do.

Edwards is followed by Pacers' shooting guard Tyrese Haliburton, Jalen Brunson from the New York Knicks, Pelicans' Zion Williamson, and Tyrese Maxey from the 76ers. Knicks' forward RJ Barett gets decent NBA Most Improved Player of the Year odds, and so do Cade Cunningham from the Detroit Pistons and Hornets' LaMello Ball. You might want to keep a close eye on Ball's sprained ankle, though, as he is likely to miss the start of the 2022-23 NBA season.

Name	Odds by Powbet
Anthony Edwards	9.80
Tyrese Haliburton	13.00
Jalen Brunson	16.00
Zion Williamson	16.00
Tyrese Maxey	16.00
RJ Barret	18.00
Cade Cunningham	20.00
LaMelo Ball	26.00
Jalen Green	27.00
Keldon Johnson	28.00

NBA Coach of the Year Odds

The NBA Coach of the Year award is given to the best NBA coach in the regular season. Gregg Popovich, Don Nelson, and Pat Riley have all won the award a record three times. Of the three, only the San Antonio Spurs coach is still coaching in the NBA, but he is not among the favorites with bookies.

Chris Finch from the Minnesota Timberwolves is. He is the top pick for most online sportsbooks and gets the lowest NBA Coach of the Year odds. Tyronn Lue from the Los Angeles Clippers and Mavericks' Jason Kidd are second and third with bookmakers. Willie Green, coaching the New Orleans Pelicans, and Taylor Jenkins from the Memphis Grizzlies share similar basketball betting odds to win the award and are also decent picks for your NBA futures wager.

John-Blair Bickerstaff from the Cleveland Cavaliers could be a good outside bet, as he comes with excellent NBA COY odds. You can also back Raptors' Nick Nurse, who won the award in the 2019-20 NBA season.

Name	Odds by Sportsbet.io
Chris Finch	10.00
Tyronn Lue	11.00
Jason Kidd	12.00
Willie Green	13.00
Taylor Jenkins	13.00
Joe Mazzulla	13.00
Erik Spoelstra	13.00
