New NBA MVP Favorite Emerges; Rookie Of Year, 6th Man, Defensive POY Odds Too

We’re more than a month into the NBA season, and while the title favorite remains the same, all of the favorites for individual honors have changed. SportsBetting has updated its odds for Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Sixth Man and Most Improved Player, which you can find below. 

Luka Doncic was installed as the preseason favorite for MVP with 5/1 odds, followed by Giannis Antetokounmpo (6/1) and Steph Curry (7/1). 

Joel Embiid, the current favorite, started the year with 25/1 odds. If Embiid went on to take MVP, he would be the first center since the Clinton administration to do so (Shaquille O’Neal, 1999-2000).

James Wiseman (5/1) and Anthony Edwards (6/1) were ROY favorites, but now two players are in front of them on the odds board. 

Jordan Clarkson had 9/1 Sixth Man odds at the outset of the season while Jaylen Brown was listed at 66/1 to take home MIP honors two months ago.
