Just under a two months into the 2022-23 NBA season, it’s been a thrilling start and we’ve seen the top teams emerge in each conference. The MVP race is a close one and we have a new favorite to win it all. Giannis Antetokounmpo was (+275) last week and since then, Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum is now the favorite at (+275) to win MVP. 

It’s still an extremely close race right now, but Tatum has to be the favorite because of his individual and team success. The Celtics have the best record in the NBA right now at 17-4, and they’ve looked close to unbeatable to begin this season. Not too far behind Tatum in the MVP race are Antetokounmpo and Luka Doncic.

NBA betting sites have Antetokounmpo at (+310) and Doncic at (+325) to win league MVP.

The MVP race should be extremely close all season long

Jayson Tatum is the new favorite to win MVP. His Celtics are 17-4 and have won 13 of their last 14 games. A two-time league MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo will always find himself in the MVP race. He’s too dominant when he plays and helped lead the Bucks to a championship in 2021. Third in the race is Luka Doncic who helped get his team a 116-113 win vs the Warriors last night. Doncic leads his team in points, rebounds, assists, and steals per game. He also leads the league in scoring with (33.5) points per game.
