NBA: 2022 Regular season award odds, projections

With the All-Star break just over a month away, there are several individual awards worth watching including a wide-open MVP race. Stephen Curry (+155) remains the favorite to win the 2022 MVP but after shooting less than 50% in nine straight games, his hold isn't as tight. Nikola Jokić and Joel Embiid (+1000) are certainly in the conversation as well with both big men averaging efficient 25-point double-doubles. Evan Mobley expectedly leads the rookie ladder but is also fighting for Defensive Player of the Year, trailing Draymond Green (+110) and Rudy Gobert. Ja Morant (-140) is likely a lock for Most Improved Player after putting up 24.4 points and 6.7 assists this season. Monty Williams and JB Bickerstaff (+400) top the recent Coach of the Year rankings, while Tyler Herro (-500) seems have a stranglehold on Sixth Man of the Year.
