NBA MVP Power Rankings
1. Nikola Jokic (+150) (Bet $100 to collect $250)
Nikola Jokic added 30 assists on the road in his last two games against the Suns and Kings.
That was super impressive, especially after he also scored 57 points combined in those two games.
Jokic is averaging 29 points with 12.8 rebounds and 9.8 assists. He's also shooting nearly 57% from the floor.
It's clear that Jokic is the best player in the NBA right now.
2. Luka Doncic (+500) (Bet $100 to collect $600)
Luka Doncic led the Mavericks to a 30-0 run against the Thunder. Yet, Dallas still lost despite Doncic's performance.
Doncic added 36 points, 15 rebounds, and 18 assists while shooting 50% from the field. While he had seven turnovers, his assist-turnover ratio was still about 2:1.
If Doncic and the Mavericks won that game against the Thunder, his odds would be even better right now.
Still, he's scored 77 points in his last two games, including 24 rebounds and 27 assists. He's on a tear right now.
3. Joel Embiid (+750) (Bet $100 to collect $850)
Embiid hasn't played since Monday, November 27. However, in that game against the Lakers, he scored 30 points with 11 rebounds and 11 assists, notching his first triple-double of the season.
4. Jayson Tatum (+1000) (Bet $100 to collect $1100)
Tatum has put up back-to-back games with only 21 points. However, he was ejected on Friday against the 76ers after starting the game 6-for-9 in 27 minutes. He would've had another solid ten minutes of game action.
His ejection hurt him there. Tatum has also had six or more turnovers in two of his last three. That won't help either.
5. Giannis Antetokounmpo (+1000) (Bet $100 to collect $1100)
Giannis Antetokounmpo has scored nearly 30 points per game while shooting 60.7% from the field. Like Embiid, Giannis is coming off a triple-double in his last game, where he added 32 points, ten assists, and 11 rebounds against the Hawks in 36 minutes.
Giannis will need to get those assist numbers up if he wants a chance to get past Jokic in the MVP race.
6. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (+1000) (Bet $100 to collect $1100)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to rise. He was +1300 last week and is now +1000 this week, tied with Antetokounmpo and Tatum.
Shai's 17-point performance against Dallas in 39 minutes wasn't ideal. But he's still averaging nearly 30 points per game while shooting 53.8% from the field.
He's a big-time sleeper in this year's NBA MVP race.
