1. Lead NBA in 3pt made   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curry \u2013150   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Last season was a down year for him at 4.5 3s per game on 38% shooting from 3-point range. The closest player to him was Fred VanVleet (3.7 3s per game)  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. DPOY   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embiid +2500  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-best odds of legit contenders (Bam \/ Rudy)   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. MVP   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kawhi +4000   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Best odds while front runners Embiid and Giannis are listed low around +600 as early season favorites   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Would jump on Embiid\/Giannis around +1000 as season develops   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Luka +500 \/ Zion +2500 both have potential to be best player leading team to 6ish seed following Westbrook\/Jokic formula to winning <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. MIP   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maxey +1400  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-great odds for player poised to take another leap and who fits profile of past MIP winners   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. ROY   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paolo +200  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-not exciting numbers, but not one to over think  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Ben Mathurin for Indiana at +650 presents more favorable odds for a player who will get tons of minutes and is NBA ready  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Under win total:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOS, MEM, MIL, LAL, CHA  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

–Celtics<\/a>, Grizzles, Bucks all contending for championships, not regular season wins AND all missing difference makers to start season for unknown timetable: R.Williams, J.Jackson, K.Middleton  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Lakers, Hornets hell tier   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Over win total:   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOR, NO, SAC, DET,   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

–Raptors<\/a> and Pelicans were good last year and got better this year as youth develops (S.Barnes\/Z.Williamson)\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Kings and Pistons<\/a> ambitious to contend for play-in tournament — will be enough to separate them from the bottom feeders of this year\u2019s tanking sweepstakes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
