Part 4/6:
At the moment, five players stand out in the MVP race according to sportsbook odds: Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA), Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jason Tatum, and Luka Doncic.
- Luka Doncic (5th in Odds)
- Adding 6.4 points per 100 possessions.
- Jason Tatum (4th in Odds)
- Adding 12.1 points per 100 possessions, primarily due to defensive contributions despite the Celtics scoring just 2.4 points more with him on the court.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo (3rd in Odds)
- Surprisingly adding only 2.5 points per 100 possessions, with a defensive rating that has the Bucks giving up an additional 5 points with him playing.
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (2nd in Odds)
