NBL 2018/19 MVP Odds

Last year Cotton won with 117 votes. Next was Conger with 94. That's a huge margin in relative terms.

Randle polled 79 votes despite playing only 19 of 28 games. Ware had 77 votes.

There's always new players in the league- like Conger last year. But with Cotton, Randle and Ware all in at least their 3rd NBL season and being in familiar surroundings with familiar coaches, you can be very confident they will poll well again.

Interestingly, an American guard has won the MVP for something like 9 of the past 10 years.

Cotton would seem to be ridiculously good odds at $7 and showed why last night.

Yep DJ is a high risk play, but he can go missing on boards and Wiley looks like a big rebounder, plus he would have to compete with rebounding beasts Brandt, Jervis and Kay. Just a $10 bet to put a little more spice into the game. :)

Jacob Wiley. He's looked pretty good in the preseason games and we need people to step up and replace not just the production of Childress but Creek too.

First year that I wouldn't even know which new import to bet on if I wanted to. Doesn't seem like a great crop this year. They're usually good value in the betting markets.

The game is 36ers vs Perth so obviously Daniel Johnson. ;)

Beteasy has some decent player prob multis.

Webster over 19.5p/Long over 9.5r/Webster over 3.5a @ $4.20
Sobey over 17.5p/DJ under 7.5r/Cotton over 4.5a @ $6.50
Cotton over 21.5p/White over 15.5p @ $2.85

Just got on Cotton at $7 on SB...every other bookie has him at $5.50 or less. Get on!

Cotton at $7 is great value, likely even less votes to be taken off of him by teammates this season. Randle has too much competition in Sydney as Ware likely does in Melbourne too.

Cotton likely to win it by a reasonable margin this season IMO.

Yeah I agree that Cotton & Webster are both solid picks.

Webster is really good value. Tipping he will have a career year PPG wise in the NBL.

Cotton is value as noone else will be taking lots of votes from him and he is good for 5 gleeson votes per game

I like Cotton at $7 and Webster at $12

I had a $20 free bet so I chucked it on Webster.

Randle and Cotton both miles ahead of the rest. Cotton at $7 is fantastic, he has a lot less offensive help than Randle.

Dark horses with value would be Webster and Sobey.

I got on Webster at $15.

Randle favorite and rightly so .
Sobey not mentioned - a dark horse , perhaps worth a mention....

Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo has been suspended for Game 2 of an Eastern Conference quarterfinal series against the Atlanta Hawks for making contact with a game official, NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson announced Monday.

Rondo chest-bumped referee Marc Davis with 41 seconds remaining in Sunday's 83-74 Game 1 loss at Philips Arena, earning his second technical and automatic ejection. Rondo, who earned both technicals while vehemently protesting a foul call against teammate Brandon Bass, said after the game that the bump was unintentional, but the league apparently viewed it as otherwise.
