A few weeks ago, a third straight MVP for Nikola Jokic was thought to be all but in the bag. But as of March 16, Joel Embiid had overtaken Jokic in the MVP race. Sportsbooks now have him as the favorite, and by a fair margin: He’s -250 at FanDuel, while Jokic has plummeted to… Read More Joel Embiid Has Passed Nikola Jokic in the MVP Race
