After becoming the only player in NBA history to score 60 or more points and tally a triple-double, Luka Doncic is now the MVP favorite, at least according to one bookmaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the betting markets still have Tatum as the favorite, as he has held that position for about a month, but\u00a0SportsBetting<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>moved Doncic to the front spot Wednesday morning. <\/p>\n\n\n

“I’ve been saying for two weeks that Doncic should be the MVP favorite by a solid margin, but we have to respect our positions as well as the market,” Martin Lindbergh, Head NBA Trader at the website, said. “Without Tatum, the Celtics are still a very good team. Without Luka, the Mavericks join the other Texas teams as the worst in the West.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mavs have -450 odds to make the playoffs this season. They are listed at +3300 to take home an NBA Championship and +1600 for the Western Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
