BetMGM, an authorized gaming partner of the NBA, provides some of the most competitive odds on the 2024 MVP. Unlike some futures markets where bettors have to get their bets in before the season begins, BetMGM's NBA MVP odds markets are available all season long.

When it comes to betting on this season's MVP, it might be worth considering one of the league's most dynamic frontcourt players, as a center or forward has won the past five MVPs: Joel Embiid (2023), Nikola Jokic (2021, 2022), and Giannis Antetokounmpo (2019, 2020).

Will Joel Embiid (+700) be the third frontcourt piece to repeat as MVP since 2019, or will Nikola Jokic (+150) take home MVP honors for the third time in four seasons? Antetokounmpo's a bit further down the odds board (+1200), but with the Bucks eyeing their second championship in four years, you can hardly go wrong betting on the "Greek Freak".

All that's not to say a backcourt/wing player can't win the award, as Luka Doncic (+500), Jayson Tatum (+900), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (+1100), and Tyrese Haliburton (+2200) all look like legit contenders this season. Several guards have taken home MVP honors over the past decade and a half, as Derrick Rose (2011), Stephen Curry (2015, 2016), Russell Westbrook (2017), and James Harden (2018) put together historic seasons en route to their MVPs.

It's important to understand that the 2024 NBA MVP odds will fluctuate throughout the year so if bettors are keen on how and why this market moves, they can extract value. An unfortunate injury that sidelines a player for some time, a drop in performance by that player's team, or a seismic trade in which a player's team gains another star player could lead to a decrease in their odds.

On the other hand, several stat-stuffing performances, particularly against some of the league's best teams in nationally televised games, and a team's regular season success can boost a player's chances of winning the Michael Jordan Trophy.
