Despite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the NBA in scoring and being favored to win the MVP, betting on Nikola Jokic at +400 presents greater value. Jokic has dominated the MVP awards in recent years, finishing in the top two in voting each of the previous four seasons. The article suggests that the betting odds indicate Gilgeous-Alexander is a heavy favorite, yet Jokic's established record as a top player in the league provides a compelling case for placing a bet on him, especially given the potential for a strong season finish.
"What I am saying, is that if you are going to make a bet on NBA MVP at this point in the season, betting on Jokic for MVP is the only option that makes sense."
"Odds of -700 mean that one would have to bet seven units to win one. There is no upside to making a bet with odds that short, with little return on investment for a bet that won't be paid out for almost two months."
