  • Russell Westbrook may have lost his running buddy Kevin Durant, but oddsmakers figure he will have a monster year now as a result.

    Westbrook is the favorite to win NBA MVP honors at 2/1 ahead of Steph Curry (9/2) and LeBron James (9/2), according to Bovada.lv.

    On the NBA GM survey, James leads the MVP voting at 46.7 percent to Curry’s 23.3 percent.

    Meantime, former Oklahoma star Buddy Hield of New Orleans faces odds of 7/2 to win Rookie of the Year honors, while former Providence star Kris Dunn of Minnesota is at 4/1.

    On the GM survey, Dunn leads at 46.7 percent compared to 13.3 percent for both Dunn and Ben Simmons of Philadelphia.

    Dunn and Hield both spent four years on campus, while Simmons was a one-and-done at LSU. Simmons, of course, is out approximately eight weeks with a foot injury.
