NBA MVP Betting Odds

If you’re following the NBA MVP race for the 2025-26 season, you can check out the latest odds right here on BetVictorSportsbook. The MVP award, which has been around since the 1955-56 season, is one of the biggest honours in basketball. With the new season coming up, the race for MVP is already heating up, and all eyes are on the reigning champ, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. 

Looking ahead to the 2025-2026 season, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is once again the early favorite to grab the MVP. The guy is just so consistent, versatile, and has such a huge impact on every game. But he’s not running away with it - there are a lot of other top contenders. Players like Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid are all right there in the mix, making the competition exciting. 

We’ve got great odds on the NBA MVP race here on our sports betting site. You can back your favourite player and see if SGA can keep his MVP streak going or if someone else will take the crown this year. 

Current Favorites

• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder): Currently the reigning NBA MVP. He led OKC to a 68-win season, averaging 32.7 PPG. Thunder are title favourites again. 
• Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets): The Denver Nuggets three-time MVP star, averaging a triple-double last season (29.6 PPG, 12.7 RPG, 10.2 APG) is still one of the top contenders. 
• Luka Doncic (Los Angeles Lakers): The young star now with the LA LAkers is set to have another huge season. 
• Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks): You can never count out Giannis—the two-time MVP from the Bucks is always a threat. 
• Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers): The 2023 MVP winner will be looking to take the crown back with the Philadelphia 76ers. 

Rising Stars to Watch

There are also some rising stars who could shake things up: 

• Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves): The Timberwolves guard keeps getting better every year. 
• Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs): This rookie from the Spurs is already making waves and could have a huge impact right away. 
• Jalen Brunson (New York Knicks): After a career year with the Knicks, he’s one to watch. 

Canadian Contenders

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander made history as the first Canadian to win the NBA MVP award in 2025, officially becoming the country's long wait for basketball's highest individual honor.
