The 76ers beat the Nuggets in a nailbiter on Tuesday night and odds in the NBA MVP market moved precipitously as a result.
Nikola Jokic had been the odds-on favorite at +170 prior to the matchup, with no one within a +280 reach of the big man. Now, the two-time MVP is still the favorite at +240 but Joel Embiid is now hot on his tail at +260.
Embiid had been +800 prior to this game before shooting up the ranks to his current mark as the No. 2 player on the board at +260.
Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid have collectively won the last three NBA MVP awards and each time they play each other head-to-head it's a good time to look at updated NBA MVP odds. Embiid is the reigning MVP winner while Jokic won the two awards beforehand.
