Dallas Mavericks: Everyone is picking Luka Doncic to win MVP

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic took a massive leap in his second NBA season. The 21-year-old averaged 28.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game as he made first-team All-NBA. Luka finished fourth in the MVP voting, but he should have been in the top three. It was an incredible season.

Fans know when the first odds to win the 2021 MVP were released this summer, Doncic was the favorite. He has not entered his prime and another leap could be coming from the Mavericks superstar.

It turns out everyone is picking Luka to take home MVP. Let us take a look at the latest.

Everyone is picking Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic to win MVP

ESPN’s experts voted on who they think is going to win MVP this season (subscription required). Doncic was named the favorite receiving 36 percent of the first-place votes.

ESPN is not the only projected a Luka win, though. No player is taking more bets than Doncic. Brad Townsend provided fans with the stats on Dec. 16.

Fans should not be surprised. Luka Doncic was in the running and leaving a few games early last season pushed down his incredible stat line. Another step forward could have Doncic averaging a 30-point triple-double per game as he leads the Mavericks into the top four in the Western Conference. That move will earn Luka the MVP award in 2021. He would also become the youngest one in league history if he can pull off the feat. Do not count it out.

Fans will not want to miss a second of Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks this season. They promise to be one of the most exciting teams in the NBA. Check back to The Smoking Cuban for news and analysis on your favorite team all season long too.
