Every NBA team has played at least 76 games, and the playoffs are just around the corner.
Nine teams are tanking extra hard and the other team (New Orleans) just flat-out stinks.
The main intrigue left in the regular season is playoff positioning and regular season awards.
A few weeks ago, SGA was a humongous favorite to win back-to-back MVP Awards, but Victor Wembanyama has closed the gap considerably.
"He's probably the most deserving player in our minds, but we're in a really bad position if Wemby does take home MVP honors...so we're rooting for SGA," BetOnline Sportsbook Manager Adam Burns said. "Wemby was around 100/1 for MVP back in December after his injury, and we took money on him then and then and all the way down now to 2/1. Because some of our customers got some great value, we'll incur a sizable loss in the MVP market should he win."
One note we found of interest is SGA’s cousin, Nickeil Alexander-Walker has overtaken Jalen Duren as the favorite for Most Improved Player.
