According to Bovada, early odds for the 2018-19 NBA MVP have LeBron James leading the pack (10/3) followed by Anthony Davis (4/1), Giannis Antetokounmpo (9/2), James Harden (11/2), Kevin Durant (9/1) and the Toronto Raptors’ very own Kawhi Leonard (11/1).

Vegas oddsmakers seem to have little faith that Kawhi could win the Most Valuable Player award this upcoming season. Their scepticism is justifiable. From his injury concerns to Leonard’s reported lack of desire to play in Toronto and the competition around him, an initial analysis seemingly puts this award far out of Kawhi’s reach.
