Dallas Mavericks: Luka Doncic is the favorite to win MVP in 2021

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic continues to produce unprecedented numbers.

Fans know every game he becomes the youngest player to produce a feat or does something nobody has ever seen.

Fans should expect Luka to be better in 2021. The Mavs superstar continues to find ways to improve his game. Do not expect that to stop anytime soon. The improvement has everyone thinking Doncic will climb up further in the MVP race. Let us take a look at the latest odds.

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic is the favorite to win MVP in 2021

SportsBetting.com place Doncic as the favorite to take home the top individual honors next season at 4-1.

No player since Larry Bird in 1984-1986 has won three straight MVP awards meaning Giannis Antetokounmpo is unlikely to take home the honors in 2021. Can LeBron James or Stephen Curry jump back up and win the award? Do we see a first-time winner like Luka or Anthony Davis?

Doncic could average a 30-point triple-double per game next season. He is working on his game as we speak. Expect to see improved 3-point and free throw shooting plus another step forward on the defensive end. The 21-year-old will be impossible to stop.

Dallas Mavericks fans should be excited about the upcoming season. Luka Doncic will lead the team back to the playoffs as they look to make a deep run. Doncic could take home MVP honors too. Never count him out. It promises to be fun, so do not miss it.
