Check out the latest 2023 NBA MVP odds as Joel Embiid passes Nikola Jokic as betting favorite.
Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers have been on a heater since early December, which has helped him slowly creep back into the MVP conversation and pass Jokic, who was dealing as a -350 favorite days ago.
After starting 12-12, the Sixers have 34-10 and are now threatening the Boston Celtics for the Atlantic Division crown and coveted second seed in the Eastern Conference.Embiid leads in the NBA in scoring and is shooting 54.1 percent from the field, both of which are, by far, career highs. Perhaps most importantly, Philadelphia enjoyed an iconic win over Denver during a nationally televised game in late January.Jokic put up an underwhelming 24 points, nine assists and eight rebounds and looked unmatched at times against the overpowering Embiid.Embiid’s favorite status has as much to do with his success as Jokic’s awful week, though, as well.That four-game losing streak includes losses to three teams below .500 teams and the post-Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving Brooklyn Nets.
Jokic’s traditional numbers over those four games aren’t too much different from his season averages — he’s actually scoring about five points more per game.
