Updated NBA playoff odds for every team and new MVP favorite

LeBron James didn't log many minutes in the All-Star Game, and Joel Embiid didn't even get to play. But the latter recently dethroned the King in the latest MVP odds.

At the halfway point of the season, SportsBetting.com released updated probabilities to make the NBA Playoffs for all 30 teams, as well as the latest odds for MVP, ROY, DPOY and Sixth Man.

After a two-week run at the top of the MVP odds board, James was supplanted by Embiid last week.

LaMelo Ball, Rudy Gobert and Jordan Clarkson continue to be the odds-on favorites for Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year.

In terms of playoff numbers, only the Hornets and Wizards have seen their odds flipped, meaning they were favored to make the playoffs before the season started and now aren't, or vice versa.

All odds are provided by SportsBetting.com.
