Ranking the 5 best bets for 2023 NBA All-Star Game MVP, including a former hometown favorite

Donovan Mitchell might put on a show for the fans in Utah.

This is a rough time of year for bettors.

The NFL season is over, the MLB season hasn’t started yet and the NBA season is headed into its All-Star break.

The only one of the four major American professional sports in action for the next week is the NHL. And if you’re not inclined to bet on hockey, college hoops is your next best option.

Unless, of course, you want to bet on All-Star activities.

Wait, you do?!

If nothing else NBA-related is a gamble, All-Star most certainly is. There’s no way to know what’s going to happen in any of these contests. But hey, if this is the kind of action you want, there’s certainly of it to be had.

That includes the All-Star Game itself, which Team LeBron is favored to win over Team Giannis despite Team LeBron not even being assembled yet. A better pick at this point would be for MVP of the game, so I compiled a list of the five best MVP bets.
