MVP Betting Odds for the Summer League

• Reed Sheppard, Rockets: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
• Nikola Topic, OKC: +1400 (bet $10 to win $150 total)
• GG Jackson, Grizzlies: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)

• Matas Buzelis, Bulls: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)

• Bronny James, Lakers: +4000 (bet $10 to win $410 total)

Reed Sheppard and Nikola Topic have emerged as frontrunners for the MVP award, while Bronny James and Cooper Flagg are also catching the eyes of fans and bettors.

After being selected as the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Bronny experienced a mixed rookie season playing intermittently between the South Bay Lakers and the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the 6-foot-2 guard from USC, who is also the son of LeBron James, averaged a mere 2.3 points per game.

Expert analysis suggests improvements in his game are crucial. Paul Pierce, co-host of Speak, emphasized, “Players of his height are typically excellent shooters. He must excel defensively, which is a key aspect I’ll be watching for this summer to assess his intensity on defense. The Lakers require a strong defensive presence, and if he can improve in this area, he might secure a spot on the roster.”
