NBA MVP odds tracker: Giannis Antetokounmpo dominates Lakers, Stephen Curry’s odds rise after win vs. Nets

Update: Giannis Antetokounmpo entered the week third in the MVP odds table at +600. He put up 47 points on 18-23 shooting in a 109-102 win over the Lakers Wednesday, which will surely see his numbers improve slightly. Curry’s odds have jumped up to +250 after Golden State’s win Tuesday over the Nets.

Update: Curry dropped 37 points, five assists and seven rebounds in Golden State’s 117-99 victory over Brooklyn. Durant had 19 points, three assists and five rebounds but struggled from the field in a 6-19 effort. The MVP odds have not moved as a result of this game at the moment, but there could be some change in the coming days.

Curry moved up to +250 to win MVP after the Dubs beat the Nets on Tuesday night. Durant remains at +475 behind Curry despite having an awful shooting performance on Tuesday in the third quarter, when the Warriors pulled away from Brooklyn.

After one month of the 2021-22 NBA season, the MVP race has begun to take shape. Preseason odds-on favorite Luka Doncic is now fourth in the running at +800 according to DraftKings Sportsbook, as three NBA champions have overtaken the Mavericks phenom.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry leads the way at +275. He was +900 at the beginning of the season. Curry is averaging 28.4 points, 6.4 assists and 6.3 rebounds per game while maintaining his deadly efficiency from deep. The numbers might be down from his previous MVP campaigns but that’s largely due to Golden State’s deep rotation. The Warriors are 11-2 early in the season and look like title contenders once again.

Durant (+475) has been brilliant even as the Nets had a rocky start with Kyrie Irving sidelined. It’s hard to believe he had an Achilles injury a few seasons ago, as Durant is averaging 29.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. He’s not quite at 50-40-90 splits due to free throw shooting but Durant could end up being the best player on the league’s best team. That’s usually a good formula for success when it comes to lifting the MVP award.

The reigning Finals MVP is looking good early in the season as well. Giannis Antetokounmpo has had to keep the Bucks afloat amid some injuries and Khris Middleton being sidelined with COVID. The Greek Freak is averaging 26.6 points, 11.8 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game so far. The Bucks are 6-8 at the moment but should turn things around as their starters return. Watch out for Antetokounmpo as the season goes on. He’s +600 in MVP odds.
