2024-25 NBA MVP futures, betting odds and favorites - ESPN

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder is the new odds-on favorite to win the NBA MVP Award, which would be his first, as he leads the West-leading Thunder to a 15-game win streak. Alexander knocks three-time MVP Nikola Jokic out of the top spot for the first time all season.

Tonight on ESPN, the Thunder face Donovan Mitchell (250-1) and the Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers — themselves on a 10-game winning streak — marking only the third time in NBA history that a team on a 15-game win streak faces the team with the best record, according to ESPN Research. You can catch all of the action at 7 p.m. ET.

On Friday, the Thunder will take on the New York Knicks, who boast a pair of MVP candidates of their own in Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, both at 250-1.

Anthony Edwards, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Jayson Tatum are among the top five odds leaders, behind Alexander and Jokic.
