Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray made a significant leap during the postseason, averaging 26.5 points per game and falling just short of 50/40/90 in efficiency numbers through 19 games. Oddsmakers are expecting that to carry over as he is currently the co-favorite (12-1) to win Most Improved Player for the 2020-21 season.
Paired with the Nuggets' rising star is Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who expected to take over the reigns of a Thunder team in transition after losing starters Steven Adams, Chris Paul and Danilo Gallinari in the offseason.
A second Nuggets player who expected to be on the rise next season, Michael Porter Jr., enters the season third on the MIP odds list (14-1) with Miami Heat sophomore Tyler Herro (15-1) coming in just behind Porter.
