this is how I feel as well.....maybe I'm wrong but i just think jokic had to basically go shaq in 01, lebron in 09/13 type year to get it
sixers losing 4 of 6 down the stretch not helping embiid a ton but if you aimed a gun at my head right now i'd still say he wins it, just think giannis +350 is value and he's being slept on because jokic or embiid for MVP has basically been a discussion for like 24 months/3 different seasons now
another angle I like is betting both giannis and lopez dpoy at +350 and -110 respectively....i'd be reasonably surprised if the bucks were completely shutout given the season they've had with middleton missing so much of it and being a shelf of himself when he did play....middleton doesn't have the hype/pedigree of a paul george/jimmy butler tier player but him missing that much time and still being best record itl is no joke
