NBA MVP Odds Favor Steph Curry Over Giannis Antetokounmpo & Kevin Durant on FanDuel Sportsbook
By FairwayJay

Steph Curry is closing in on history as he's within 10 made 3-pointers of setting the all-time NBA record. The superstar sharp shooter is also the 2021-22 leading MVP candidate at +150, per FanDuel Sportsbook's MVP odds.
Curry is the regular season MVP leader on the league's best team with Golden State 21-4 and a half game in front of the Phoenix Suns in the Pacific Division. The Warriors embark on a five-game Eastern road trip starting Dec. 11 where the two-time MVP will likely set the record in the next week either at Philadelphia, Indiana or New York.
