NBA MVP Betting Odds

If you’re following the NBA MVP race for the 2026-27 season, you can check out the latest odds right here on BetVictor Sportsbook. 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, who won back-to-back the NBA Most Valuable Player award Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. 

Looking ahead to the 2026-27 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 Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jason Tatum and Anthony Edwards 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, winning his second MVP title. He led OKC to a 64-win season, averaging 31.1 PPG. Thunder are title favourites again.
• Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets): The Denver Nuggets three-time MVP star, averaging a triple-double last season (27.7 PPG, 12.9 RPG, 10.7 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 (Miami Heat): You can never count out Giannis—the two-time MVP is always a threat. Now representing the Heat, Giannis enters as a top MVP contender. 
• Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves): The Timberwolves guard keeps getting better every year. This young superstar has talent to become a future MVP winner.
• Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs): This Spurs talent is already establishing himself as one of the NBA’s elite players. The 2025-26 Defensive Player of the Year finished third in the 2026 MVP voting and has strong chances of winning this award in the near future.
