Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks, NBA (+270)
Luka Doncic is arguably the best player to begin the season and is a great reason why he is leading the MVP race right now. He has the highest PER (Player Efficiency Rating) of 31.61 as well as leading the league in points. He is averaging 33.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 1.8 steals per game. He is also shooting the ball very well, shooting 50.5 percent from the floor, 31.5 percent from three, and 72.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks, NBA (+280)
Giannis Antetokounmpo has already won an MVP and will be a dominant player whenever he is on the court. It makes sense why he is up in terms of odds. He is fourth in terms of PER at 28.59. He is averaging 30.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, one block, and 0.9 steals per game. He needs to improve his shooting percentage as he is 53.4 percent from the floor, 22.9 percent from three, and 60 percent from the free-throw line.

Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics, NBA (+290)
Jayson Tatum has taken a huge step in the last few years, which explains the MVP race right now. He is eighth in PER at 26.64 as well as being fifth in the league in points. He is averaging 30.8 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 0.9 steals per game. He is also shooting the ball extremely well, shooting 48.1 percent from the floor, 34.7 percent from three, and 87 percent from the free-throw line. He's a good story, but not enough right now to win MVP.
Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors, NBA (+900)
Stephen Curry has been doing well this season, but the odds are telling us that he is not at the same level as the other guys. He is shooting better than ever as he has a 51.8/43.6/90.7 shooting split and is second in points with 31.4 points per game. He is also doing more than shooting, averaging 6.7 rebounds, seven assists, and 1.1 steals per game as well.
