On April 4, Beijing time, the MVP odds for the 2021-22 regular season have a new change, and Jokic's odds have become 1.37 to further expand the advantage. Embiid remained in second place and Alphabet Brother in third place. The current competition is basically between these three stars, and the odds of other stars are too high, and it is basically impossible to win the MVP.
The current MVP odds are as follows: Jokic 1.37 first, Embiid 3.00 second, Alphabet Brother 7.50 third, Doncic and Booker are both tied for fourth with 101.0, Morant is sixth with 151.0, Durant is seventh with 251.0, and Curry, James and DeRozan are tied for eighth with 501.0.
Jokic had another explosive performance on this day, leading the Nuggets to beat the Lakers 129-118, Jokic had 38 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and he exploded in the second half. Lakers coach Vogel admitted after the game that one reason for the team's failure was not to defend Jokic.
The Nuggets' record has now surpassed the Jazz to move to fifth in the West, which is a plus for Jokic's competition for MVP. His MVP odds are adjusted to 1.32, which is the trend of a high probability of capturing an MVP. In contrast, Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley's odds for the rookie of the year are currently also 1.37, with the highest demand for the award. Now Jokic's MVP odds are already a value with Mobli, which shows that his probability is very high.
Embiid also had a heroic performance on this day, he shot 44 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks, and also shot 3 three-pointers. Embiid became the first player in NBA history to cut at least 40 points, 15 rebounds, five blocks, and shoot three or more three-pointers.
Sadly, Philadelphia has lost several key games in the last month, including to the Nuggets and Bucks. In direct conversations between MVP candidates, Embiid lost, which also caused Embiid's odds to fall from first to second. With the regular season just one week left, Embiid is already struggling to reverse that.
The Bucks lost 112-118 to the Lone Ranger, and Alphabet Played Average, with 28 points and 10 rebounds. The Bucks are now strong, but the team doesn't pay much attention to regular season rankings, and the team hopes to hone the team before the playoffs arrive. Alphabet Brother's MVP odds have lagged behind Jokic and Embiid more, and they are gradually falling behind.
Doncic had 32 points, eight rebounds and 15 assists in the game against the Bucks. But his MVP odds of 101.0 are too far behind the top three. Doncic didn't play well in the first half of the season and didn't make a splash until the second half. Doncic said the other day that he would like to play the performance from the beginning of the season, then he will be the MVP. Doncic is averaging 28.3 points, 9.1 rebounds and 8.7 assists this season. Doncic has cut 30+ in the last 5 games, and his outbreak is a little late.
