2025-26 NBA MVP Contenders

Here are the top-three NBA MVP contenders, according to the latest odds to win the award.

Nikola Jokic (+175)

It should surprise no one that Nikola Jokic is the current favorite to win the 2025-26 NBA MVP. He has won this award in three of the last five seasons. But this is arguably his best start yet. Jokic is averaging 29.1 PPG, grabbing 13.2 RPG and dishing out 11.1 APG. He leads the league in both rebounds and assists per game and is seventh in PPG. His Nuggets opened up with an excellent record and currently look poised to grab a top-two seed in the West.

🏆 Case to Win the Award:

✅ Leading the league in rebounds and assists
✅ Incredibly efficient scoring, shooting over 60% from the field
✅ Nuggets could grab top-two seed in the Western Conference

🛑 Case Against:

❌ Voter fatigue – three wins in the last five seasons
❌ Nuggets likely finishing below the Oklahoma City Thunder – will SGA win again?

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (+200)

The reigning NBA MVP has picked up right where he left off. He's scoring over 30.0 PPG with at least 5.0 rebounds and assists per game on above 50.0% shooting from the floor. Historically, this award tends to go to the best player on the best team, and that will almost certainly be the Thunder. SGA has OKC poised for a potentially historic season, as they won 15 of their first 16 games. If they're contending for the 73-win NBA record, it's hard to see this award going to anyone else.

🏆 Case to Win the Award:

✅ Best player on the best team
✅ Potentially historic regular-season campaign for OKC – could break GSW's 73-9 record
✅ Big-time numbers on elite efficiency

🛑 Case Against:

❌ Voter fatigue – just won last year
❌ Will voters hold his incredible supporting cast against him?

Luka Doncic (+400)

It seems like every Dallas Mavericks fans' worst nightmare is coming to fruition: Luka Doncic is in shape. Skinny Luka has been unguardable in LA, averaging a career-high 34.6 PPG. It seems like he has a chance to approach the 37.09 PPG Michael Jordan averaged in 1986-87 – the best such mark for a wing in NBA history. He's impacting the game in other areas as well, averaging about 9.0 APG and grabbing over eight RPG. He's doing everything for LA, averaging a career-high usage rate and playing some improved defense.

🏆 Case to Win the Award:

✅ Insane scoring output
✅ Nightly triple-double threat
✅ Great narrative – never won MVP & leading a so-so Lakers' roster

🛑 Case Against:

❌ Are the Lakers good enough to contend for No. 1 seed?
❌ Team's record will be worse than SGA, his stats worse than Jokic's – how does he separate himself?
❌ Spotty injury history – any missed time could crush his chances

2025 Dark-Horse NBA MVP Candidates

Here are a few interesting dark-horse NBA MVP bets. Each player featured below is currently sitting outside the top-three odds to win the award.

Cade Cunningham (+8000)

Cade Cunningham has singlehandedly dragged the Detroit Pistons out of the mud. From the 2019-20 season to the 2023-24 season, Detroit failed to reach even 24 wins. But now that Cade has blossomed into a superstar, Detroit won 44 games last year and he's led the Pistons to a 13-2 record to open this season. In other words, he's doing exactly what you'd expect an MVP to do.

He's almost averaging a double-double, dropping 27.3 PPG with 9.9 APG. He rebounds well for a guard, but at 6-foot-6, you'd like to see him be a more impactful defender. But we're just nitpicking at this point.

🏆 Case to Win the Award:

✅ Great narrative – dragging Detroit back to relevancy
✅ Elite scorer and facilitator
✅ Pistons could grab No. 1 seed in the East

🛑 Case Against:

❌ Worse efficiency than his peers at the top of the ladder
❌ Not impactful enough defensively
❌ Dwarfed by Jokic & Luka, statistically

Victor Wembanyama (+10000)

Victor Wembanyama was as high as +260 to win this award earlier in the year, but he has fallen off due to a calf injury. The ailment is expected to keep him out for three weeks. But if he gets healthy, he absolutely has a shot to win this award.

Wembanyama has been anointed as the next "Face of the League." Watch him play one game and you'll see why. Offensively, the allegedly 7-foot-4 giant moves like a guard, capable of scoring from anywhere on the court. He's also made strides as a facilitator. Defensively, he genuinely might go down as the best big man since Bill Russell. He's averaging over 3.5 blocks this season. Opponents are converting just 32.8% of their shots from 5-to-9 feet when guarded by Wemby. And his Spurs look poised to contend for a top-four seed in the West. He's a fantastic flyer at this price, as he has a real shot to win if he gets healthy. Remember, he was +260 as recently as Halloween.

🏆 Case to Win the Award:

✅ Like Rudy Gobert & Kevin Durant had a baby – historic defensively, fantastic offensively
✅ Spurs contending for top-four seed
✅ Great narrative – winning officially anoints him as the next "Guy" in the NBA

🛑 Case Against:

❌ Currently injured & spotty injury history – will he play enough to qualify, let alone win?
❌ Can't compete with Jokic & Luka's insane offensive statistics

Best 2025 NBA MVP Bets

Below, I'll highlight the player who I think offers the best value to win the award. This is not who I think is most likely to win, it's the player who offers the best return on investment.

Victor Wembanyama (+10000)

Victor Wembanyama is probably not going to win MVP this year. His calf injury saw to that. But at +10000, I think this is a fantastic flyer. A $100 bet right now would payout at $9,000. As recently as Halloween, a $100 bet on Wemby would've netted you a profit of $260. That value is tough to ignore.

No other contender can even come close to matching Wemby's impact on the defensive end. Offensively, he can't quite compete with the top dogs yet, but he's close enough. And his Spurs have a real shot to grab a top-four seed if they can survive Wemby's absence. If he stays healthy once he returns to the court and leads a young Spurs team to home-court advantage in the NBA Playoffs, I think the voters might reward the third-year star. But again, this is more of a long-shot pick.

⭐️ Best Available Odds: +9000 (FanDuel Sportsbook)

Current NBA MVP Predictions

Below, I'll highlight the player who I think is most likely to win the award. This time, we're throwing odds and value out the window and just picking the player who I think is most likely to win.

Nikola Jokic

This is the least-fun pick, but that's usually a sign that it's the most likely outcome. The things Nikola Jokic is doing right now are flat-out ridiculous. He's basically averaging a 30-point triple-double while shooting 64% in the league. I can't even do that on NBA 2K. When you're putting up video-game numbers on an elite regular-season team, you're probably going to win MVP.

⭐️ Best Available Odds: +175 (FanDuel Sportsbook)

NBA MVP History: Winner by Year

The NBA MVP Award has a rich history, dating back to its inaugural presentation in the 1955-56 season when Bob Pettit of the St. Louis Hawks was named the league's most valuable player. Since then, the award has become the most prestigious individual honor in basketball, recognizing the standout player of each season.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar holds the record for the most MVP titles with six, while legends like Bill Russell and Michael Jordan each secured five. Nikola Jokic, Wilt Chamberlain, and LeBron James follow closely with four MVPs each. Jokic, in particular, has been dominant in recent years, earning his fourth MVP in 2024.

How is NBA MVP Decided?

The NBA MVP award is determined by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters from the U.S. and Canada, all of whom vote at the conclusion of the regular season. Voters rank their top five MVP candidates, with each vote assigned a point value: 10 points for a first-place vote, 7 points for second place, 5 points for third, 3 points for fourth, and 1 point for fifth. The player with the most total points across all ballots wins the award.

Beyond pure statistics, voters often consider the overall impact a player has had on their team's success. Historically, MVPs tend to come from teams with strong regular-season records, as voters look for players whose performances have translated into wins. The narrative surrounding a player—whether they've overcome adversity or delivered a historic season—can also shape voting outcomes.

Notably, only one player has ever won the MVP award unanimously: Stephen Curry during his record-breaking 2015-2016 season. While it's rare for a player to sweep the voting, the MVP race is always closely watched as it reflects the season's standout performer and most influential figure.

When is the NBA MVP Award Announced?

There is no concrete date for when the NBA MVP Award gets announced. Typically, the announcement happens between the first and second rounds of the NBA Playoffs. But that can change from year to year. This season, the award was announced on May 21, 2025. That announcement came on the same day as Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

NBA MVP Futures Betting

These NBA MVP odds evolve throughout the season, reflecting the changing performances of players and teams. Bettors can wager on the NBA MVP until the award is officially announced, and opportunities to hedge bets arise as the odds shift.

It's important to note that NBA MVP odds differ from NBA Finals MVP odds. The NBA MVP award recognizes the best regular-season player, while the NBA Finals MVP is awarded to the standout player during the Finals.

How to Bet on the NBA MVP

Betting on NBA MVP odds can be a profitable sports betting strategy if you follow a few key principles. Here are our top tips for betting on the 2025 NBA MVP:

Consistent Success in the NBA MVP Race

The NBA MVP is awarded to the player who excels throughout the NBA season. While one player may have a hot streak, it's crucial to evaluate performance over the entire season including all of the ebbs and flows. Don't be swayed by short-term success and be mindful of inconsistencies. Consistency, both in individual stats and overall team contribution, will determine a player's candidacy. Keep a long-term perspective when assessing NBA MVP odds.

Bankroll Management

Strictly managing your NBA sports betting bankroll is crucial when it comes to your profitability as an NBA bettor. Here are some tips to help you along the way.

Set a total budget for the NBA season that you're comfortable risking, ensuring it's not money needed for essentials like bills or rent.
Select a percentage of your bankroll as your betting unit, typically between 1-5%. For example, with a $1,000 bankroll and a 2% unit size, each wager would be $20.
Stick to your bankroll management strategy throughout the season, adjusting your bets based on how your bankroll fluctuates.
You may employ advanced bankroll management systems like the Fibonacci or Martingale, but a steady and disciplined approach is generally more effective for futures betting on NBA MVP odds.

Determine Who Your Favorite Is

Analyze key stats and watch as many games as possible to pinpoint your favorite MVP contender. Look for players who not only shine individually but also significantly impact their team's success. Past MVP winners often share certain traits, like high efficiency, leadership, and team value, especially in their absence. If two top players share the court, both may have reduced MVP chances, so choose wisely.

Choose the Best Sportsbooks

Signing up with multiple sportsbooks allows you to shop around for the best NBA MVP betting odds. By comparing lines across platforms, you ensure you're getting maximum value. Additionally, capitalize on bonuses, welcome offers, and promotions from various sportsbooks to boost your overall bankroll and payout potential.

Watch the Lines

NBA MVP odds fluctuate as the season progresses, creating chances to hedge your bets. For example, if you bet $100 on a player at +800 early in the season, and it becomes clear they're competing with just one other player, you can place a second bet on the other contender. This strategy ensures a profit regardless of who wins, provided you place the right wager at the right time. Always watch for line movements to seize such opportunities.

Follow Our Free Picks

Keep an eye on their advice throughout the season to gain an edge on NBA MVP futures and other markets.

Finding Your Sportsbook for NBA MVP Odds

Before signing up, ensure that the sportsbook provides your preferred deposit and withdrawal methods.
