There is a long way to go before we have a full picture of the MVP race, but I wouldn’t be surprised if both Ja Morant and Nikola Jokic are in that top tier. The two already lead the top two teams in the Western Conference, with Morant’s Grizzlies currently the first seed and Jokic’s Nuggets close behind. And per DraftKings, both are in the top 8 in expected odds, with Jokic currently sitting at +700 and Morant at an enticing +2,500. The early game is not quite as intriguing as the scuffling Golden State Warriors, who have dropped five of their past seven face a resurgent New York Knicks.
