With the 2023 NBA season in the rearview mirror, it is never too early to talk about the potential 2024 NBA MVP. Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers was MVP last season, Nikola Jokic was MVP in 2021 and 2022, and Giannis Antetokounmpo was MVP in 2019 and 2020. The odds are not yet for this award on sportsbooks for the upcoming season.
Who are some of the potential candidates to win the 2024 NBA MVP?
2024 NBA MVP Candidates
Giannis Antetokounmpo
The Milwaukee Bucks are one of the best teams in the NBA because of Antetokounmpo. Last season, he averaged 31.1 PPG, 11.8 RPG, and 5.7 APG. Antetokounmpo is one of those players in the NBA that can score 30 points and grab 10 rebounds on any given night.
It feels like the Milwaukee Bucks can be too dependent on him sometimes, but he is one of the best players in the NBA. Antetokounmpo could have very similar numbers again next season for the Milwaukee Bucks and make a case for the 2024 NBA MVP.
Nikola Jokic
Nikola Jokic is the main reason why the Denver Nuggets are set up to be successful for years to come. He should have been the first player to win NBA MVP three times in a row since Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics. Jokic averaged 24.5 PPG, 11.8 RPG, and 9.8 APG last season in the NBA.
He is the focal point of the Denver Nuggets offense. Jokic is currently the best center in the NBA. He will be in contention for this award for years to come.
Devin Booker
The Phoenix Suns are one of the favorites to win the NBA title next season. If Phoenix will be one of the top teams in the NBA, it will be because of Devin Booker. He is one of the most prolific scorers in the NBA and was the main player on the Suns in the postseason. Booker averaged 27.8 PPG, 4.5 RPG, and 5.5 APG last season.
Devin Booker could be one of those players that average close to 30 PPG next season. The NBA has some great talented players to win the 2024 NBA MVP Award.
Other potential 2024 NBA MVP candidates: Joel Embiid, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, Damian Lillard, and Jaylen Brown.
