The NBA regular-season is months away, but Bovada's 2018-19 NBA MVP odds were released Wednesday with LeBron James leading as the favorite (10/3).
James, who already has won four MVP awards, finished second in voting last season as Rockets guard James Harden took home his first. Harden rounds out the top four (11/2) just behind Pelicans star Anthony Davis (4/1), listed second, and Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (9/2) in third.
Other notable players to make the top of the list include the Warriors' Kevin Durant (9/1), Raptors' Kawhi Leonard (11/1) and Golden State's Stephen Curry (15/1).
Lakers guard Lonzo Ball is the last player listed with 450/1 odds.
