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 Western Conference's top seed. Gilgeous-Alexander knocks three-time MVP Nikola Jokic out of the top spot for the first time all season.

Donovan Mitchell (250-1) and the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers lead the Eastern Conference. The New York Knicks boast a pair of MVP candidates of their own in Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, both at 250-1.

Victor Wembanyama, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Jayson Tatum are among the top five odds leaders, behind Gilgeous-Alexander and Jokic.
