ORLANDO, Fla. – As the NBA restart is just around the corner, odds are posted for who will win the Most Valuable Player for the 2019-2020 season.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s odds are five times more favored than LeBron James’.
Online sportsbooks have Giannis as the very heavy favorite to walk away with the MVP with -3500 odds while LeBron is sitting at +650.
Some might think that Giannis is a lock with these odds, but if there is one thing that any bettor should know about betting on the NBA, it is that LeBron James can never be counted out and always take his longshots odds.
James is averaging a near triple-double with 25.7 ppg, 10.6 apg and 7.9 rpg and all at 35 years young, which makes it even more impressive.
Not only does betting on LeBron come at a longshot situation but on the bright side, there is room for a huge payout if he does end up winning the MVP.

What Does LeBron Need To Do In Order To Win The MVP
If LeBron James wants any chance of winning the MVP, he must absolutely go off in the playoffs. While the regular season is only graded for the MVP, most voters can still be influenced by playoff results as they vote late.
That should not be any problem at all considering he goes into full playoff mode whenever he reaches the postseason.
Bettors should not be concerned if LeBron will in fact go into that mode being that he is the all-time leader in playoff points with 6,911, third on all-time playoff assists with 1,687 and sixth in all-time playoff rebounds with 2,122.
During the playoffs, for the Los Angeles Lakers, it is finals or bust in order for LeBron to have a shot at winning the MVP. If they fall short, it will drastically hurt any shot at the MVP the LeBron had.
If any bettors are looking to stay on edge during the NBA restart, betting on LeBron James to win the MVP would certainly pay off in the long run.
