It could have been argued that he deserved the award last season as well, but the oddsmakers planted him firmly in the driver&#8217;s seat, given his dominance throughout last postseason.<\/p>\n<h2>NBA MVP Race Tightens After Big Weeks From Embiid &amp; Doncic<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Joel Embiid has been on a TEAR over his last 11 games <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/72x72\/1f525.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udd25\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>40 PTS &#8211; 14 REBS<br \/>\n42 PTS &#8211; 15 REBS<br \/>\n35 PTS &#8211; 13 REBS<br \/>\n41 PTS &#8211; 11 REBS<br \/>\n34 PTS &#8211; 11 REBS<br \/>\n38 PTS &#8211; 14 REBS<br \/>\n50 PTS &#8211; 13 REBS<br \/>\n30 PTS &#8211; 11 REBS<br \/>\n35 PTS &#8211; 11 REBS<br \/>\n32 PTS &#8211; 13 REBS<br \/>\n32 PTS &#8211; 12 REBS<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s the first center since Shaq\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6oCx0wUHnB\">pic.twitter.com\/6oCx0wUHnB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClutchPoints\/status\/1737137739554754902?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 19, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Things started off as predicted, as Joki\u0107 was as effective and productive as ever through the first 6 weeks of the season. And while he hasn&#8217;t had any sort of significant drop off, his numbers have taken a bit of a dip over the last few games. Some of the lack of productions is due to his minutes, as he was ejected in the game against the Bulls and didn&#8217;t play in the 4th quarter of a blowout against the Mavericks on Monday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/sportslens.com\/visit\/betonline-news\/\" class=\"su-button fsue-btn fsue-btn-size-4\"  rel=\"nofollow sponsored\"><span>Bet on Luka Doncic For NBA MVP (+400) at BetOnline<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>It has coincided with other <a  rel=\"nofollow sponsored\" href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/visit\/betonline-news\/\">NBA MVP candidates<\/a> seeing a surge in their numbers. <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/news\/historic-night-for-luka-doncic-as-mavericks-beat-jazz-by-50\/\">Luka Don\u010di\u0107<\/a> has been on a tear lately with Kyrie Irving out of the lineup, and has averaged 37.1 points and 11.3 assists in his last 9 games.

Joel Embiid is leading the NBA in points per game with 34.4, and he has been particularly impressive over his last 7 games. Since the start of December, the 76ers center is averaging 40 points per game to go along with 13 rebounds, and Philadelphia has lost just one time in that span. The uptick in numbers has made his MVP designation drop to +325.<\/p>\n<p>There are others on the board who could provide some value if you believe that they&#8217;ll eventually put up numbers to rival the current favorites. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is coming in at +700 as the leader of upstart and second-placed Thunder, and Giannis Antetokounmpo is always a threat to make a run with a current designation of +950.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com &#8211; NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB News, Rumors &amp; Betting Picks<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/news\/nba-odds-early-mvp-race-tightens-embiid-and-doncic-now-in-the-mix\/\">NBA Odds: Early MVP Race Tightens, Embiid And Doncic Now In The Mix<\/a> &#8211; originally posted on <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Entering the 2023-24 NBA season, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Joki\u0107 was favored to win his third MVP trophy in the last four seasons.
