NBA MVP Odds at All-Star Break: Can Anyone Catch Nikola Jokic?

The 2023-24 NBA MVP race has been a little wild with the new 65-game threshold to win the award being in place for the first time this season.

That's taken Joel Embiid, who was the favorite for most of the season, out of the running after he tore his meniscus, potentially ending his season. As a result, a familiar face is at the top of the odds...

... Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic.

A two-time MVP and the reigning NBA Finals MVP, Jokic is a -140 favorite to take home the MVP award, sitting in front of Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo and Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic.
