The NBA is filled with rising superstars. However, the same six guys are in the lead for the MVP this season.

NBA MVP Power Rankings
1. Nikola Jokic (+250) (Bet $100 to collect $350)
Nikola Jokic is still at the top of the MVP odds board three weeks into the season. He's averaged 29.8 points per game while earning nearly 14 rebounds a night.
Beyond that, Jokic has shot over 60% from the field and has 8.3 assists as the center for the Nuggets.
In a loss to the Rockets on Sunday, Jokic added 36 points with 21 rebounds and 11 assists. He finished with a +12. Clearly, he's the best player in the He's
2. Luka Doncic (+450) (Bet $100 to collect $550)
Although Doncic isn't putting up triple-double numbers like Jokic, he's earned 32.6 points per game.
On Sunday, Doncic scored 30 points with nine assists, while shooting 61.1% from the field. In the month of November, Doncic has shot over 51% from the field. That's a massive improvement to his game.
3. Jayson Tatum (+750) (Bet $100 to collect $850)
Like Doncic, Tatum's also shooting over 50% from the field. He's scored 27.7 points per game and has grabbed 9.2 rebounds with 3.6 assists. You'd like to see Tatum's assist numbers increase, but he's helping the Celtics win games almost every night.
That counts for something.
4. Joel Embiid (+750) (Bet $100 to collect $850)
Look what happened once James Harden left.
Joel Embiid is going off. He's scored 32.4 points per game while adding 11.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists. Like the other guys above, Embiid has shot over 50% from the floor.
The 76ers have won eight straight games, and Embiid has scored at least 27 points in all of them. He's moving up the MVP list.
5. Stephen Curry (+1100) (Bet $100 to collect $1200)
The Warriors have lost three straight games. But it hasn't been Steph Curry's fault.
Curry has shot 48.8% from the field, with 30.7 points per game, along with 4.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists.
Curry has nailed 43.2% from downtown and has attempted at least ten threes in every game this season. Seeing his field goal percentage still near 50%, despite taking all those threes, is iconic.
6. Giannis Antetokounmpo (+1100) (Bet $100 to collect $1200)
With Damian Lillard out, Giannis Antetokounmpo has redeemed himself. He's added 89 points in his last two games.
In November, he's shot 59.5% from the field and has added 9.2 rebounds per game.
We'll see if this production lasts once Lillard comes back. I don't think it will.
