SGA is Heavily Favored
(SGA is the MVP leader.

SGA has helped the Thunder to a 38-11 record, which is the best mark in the NBA. The Thunder have lost three of four, and fans are wondering if that will help any other player close the gap in the race for the MVP. Nikola Jokic dropped 31 points in his return a couple of nights ago, but missing an entire month really hurt his chances.
There is still a lot of basketball left to play. SGA finished January with 31.7 points per game. He had eight games of at least 30 points, including a 47-point game against the Pacers last week.
Rookie of the Year Odds
No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg is the heavy favorite to win the Rookie of the Year. His former Duke teammate Kon Knueppel is second. Check out the odds from FanDuel Sportsbook.

(Flagg is enjoying a solid rookie season. Photo: Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images)Cooper Flagg is progressing quickly and looks like he is well on his way to becoming a superstar. Expectations were high for the No. 1 overall pick, and he has been getting better and better for the Mavericks during his rookie campaign.
In December, he was the youngest player to ever score 40 points in a game (42 vs Jazz). Just a few days ago, he broke the record for points in a game by a 19-year-old with 49 against the Hornets. Last night, Flagg had 34 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists in a loss to the Rockets. Flagg’s game is well-rounded, and he can do it all. The future is looking very bright.
In January, Flagg averaged 19.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game. He shot 47.2% from the field and had seven games of at least 20 points in the month.
