The 5 Favorites to Win the MVP of the 2024/25 NBA Season

The 2024/25 NBA season has already started, and with it, we can begin to see the performances of the league's top stars. For this reason, we have decided to choose the 5 players with the best chances of winning the MVP this year.

It is important to remember that the team's record will be crucial, as always, and that Nikola Jokic is the current award holder, already having 3 in his career (2021, 2022, and 2024).

That said, here are our top 5 favorites to win the NBA MVP in 2024/25:

5. Jayson Tatum

The Boston Celtics star has started the season at an outstanding level. Averaging 33.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 6.0 assists in his first 3 games, all of which were victories. If he maintains this level and his team dominates the East, his candidacy will be more than secure.

4. Nikola Jokic

With the Denver Nuggets losing their first 2 games and Jokic having 3 already, the Serbian will struggle to win the MVP this season if the Colorado franchise doesn't wake up soon. Nevertheless, he remains the best player in the world, and it is impossible to imagine him not being in the race at the end of the season.

3. Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Milwaukee Bucks star is eager to redeem himself from last year, where he missed the playoffs. The 2-time NBA MVP wants a third, and he has started with 63 points, 25 rebounds, and 12 assists in his first 2 games of the season. If the Bucks finish in the Top 3 of the East, Antetokounmpo will have a great chance to win his third MVP.

2. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

The OKC star will benefit from being part of the team favored to finish 1st in the West. If he continues to average over 30 points per game, it will be very difficult to take the MVP title away from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

1. Luka Doncic

At this stage, it's incredible that Doncic has not yet won an MVP. Alongside Jokic, he is the best player in the NBA, and now that the Dallas Mavericks seem to be delivering results, I believe the Slovenian is the top favorite to claim the award at the end of the season.
