Mvp Odds All Star Game
Betting on the spread or total of an All-Star Game is always pretty speculative, but in contrast, the MVP Odds for this year’s NBA All-Star Game have some enticing NBA Odds that may be worth a wager. There is some value in these four guys.
1 day ago By Henry Monness With the All-Star Game now in the rearview mirror, we have officially reached the proverbial ‘homestretch’ of the NBA regular season. As we inch closer to the postseason, many questions still remain unanswered, especially when it comes to the 2021 MVP race between Lakers forward LeBron James and Sixers center Joel Embiid. 2021 NBA All-Star game MVP odds have LeBron James as +450 favorite. See odds for all All-Stars playing in the game on Sunday, March 7th. Best bet to win. Devin Booker (24.9 ppg) initially earned a snub from the All-Star Game. But for a second season in a row, he got added to the NBA All-Star roster as an injury replacement. Booker is a long shot at +15000 odds to win MVP, but these day’s he’s getting more press as Kendall Jenner’s latest significant other.
Luka Doncic (+750)
Among the multitude of players who will have the ball in their hands from Team LeBron, no one has more upside to his game than Luka Doncic in this one.
Granted, the guy below him here might be a great play too because he has some things to prove and a lot of upsides when it comes to getting to the cup, but this is Doncic’s chance to make some people forget that his team isn’t playing up to expectations yet this year.
Doncic played for Team LeBron last year, but he had a forgettable 8-point, 3-for-6 performance. This year his team isn’t the Western Conference title contender we had been promised and other teams in the West are getting the shine. A 30-point triple-double in the All-Star Game would at the very least give the Mavs some much-needed media attention heading into the second half.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (+900)
Nhl All Star Game Mvp Odds
Speaking of not playing up to expectations, the Bucks aren’t playing as well as last year prior to the shutdown and they also have a couple of legit Eastern Conference contenders in the Nets and Sixers, who are taking some of the spotlights off Milwaukee.
Giannis Antetokounmpo played well in this game last year. With no one willing to challenge him at the rim in this game, he is going to get a ton of easy baskets and probably a ton of rebounds and assists as well.
If there is one player with who I could endorse an outright fade of Doncic, it’s his teammate Antetkoumpo. However, a play on both would still give you a great profit margin if they were to win the award. Both could have huge games.
Donovan Mitchell (+1400)
You can shop around the best sports betting sites and probably find a better line on Donovan Mitchell to win MVP, but someone unexpected will have to come out of nowhere if Team Durant wants the win here, and no one should be more motivated after that player draft than Mitchell.
The Utah Jazz are legit contenders this season, and Mitchell should have a chip on his shoulder coming in. Mitchell could say screw it and not stop shooting until his team wins and he takes home the MVP.
It would be foolish to write off a motivated player like Mitchell who can go for 40 points in a regular game, let alone an exhibition that won’t have much defense until the end.
Kyrie Irving (+1800)
Among the other players who might show-out on Team Durant, Kyrie Irving has to be atop that list. This line is pretty disrespectful to his shooting abilities and where he’ll rank on the usage of Team Durant.
It would only take a Team Durant win and a 30-point line from Irving to win MVP, and that is surely more likely than the 18:1 odds we’re looking at.
There’s a lot of shooters on Team Durant that could get hot and take over this game, but without Kevin Durant actually playing, his Nets teammate is being undervalued here to win MVP.

As we inch closer to the postseason, many questions still remain unanswered, especially when it comes to the 2021 MVP race between Lakers forward LeBron James and Sixers center Joel Embiid.
According to sportsbooks, there is no clear-cut favorite as of right now, although Bovada currently gives James slightly better-implied odds than Embiid to take home his fifth-career MVP.
Super Bowl Mvp Odds
James is the betting favorite at +175, while Embiid is right behind him at +185.
Baseball All Star Game Mvps
Nuggets center Nikola Jokic appears to be the only other player in the picture per Vegas, as he’s listed at a meager +450.
The Case for LeBron
It’s been just another day in the office for LeBron in 2021, averaging a shade under 26 points per game to go along with 8.0 rebounds and 7.8 assists.
He isn’t exactly hitting the gaudy assist numbers he had last season (10.2 apg), but he’s played a lot more off the ball with the addition of newly-acquired point guard Dennis Schroeder.
Leading his Lakers to a modest 24-13 start to the season, James has been without All-Star center Anthony Davis for 14 games and counting, as the forward has been sidelined with an Achilles injury.
Despite that, LeBron’s Lakers are well positioned to finish out the regular season with a top-4 seed and are still just 3.5 games back of the West-leading Utah Jazz.
His efficiency has been spectacular once again, shooting over 50% from the field for the 10th time in his illustrious career.
In what may be his last real shot at the MVP award, LeBron’s story might be too enticing for the NBA to deny the king.
+175 might be stealing here.
The Case for Embiid
Embiid has put together the best season of his young career, averaging a whopping 30.2 points to go along with 11.6 rebounds and MVP level defense.
It’s hard to discount the gaudy numbers he’s putting up on a nightly basis, as he’s willed the Sixers to the top of the Eastern conference at 24-12.
On pace to play all but a small number of games, Embiid’s health has finally been in order, as this has plagued him throughout his career.
If he can continue the torrid pace he’s on, it’d be extremely difficult to dismiss how dominant he’s been on both sides of the floor, and he should get a number of MVP votes regardless of how LeBron and the Lakers finish the season.
The path for Embiid is pretty cut and dry, if his Sixers finish atop the Eastern conference, and he stays healthy, then his case for the league’s most valuable player is as good as any.
+185 seems more than reasonable.
Longshot: Steph Curry (+1800)
