The NBA season tipped off this week but it's not too late to look ahead at the big awards — MVP, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year, etc. — and not just make a prediction on who will win, but talk about how to bet them. And bet those NBA futures wisely. When thinking MVP, it's not just the player but is the team winning enough? With Rookie of the Year, it's about volume. Can another guard get the Defensive Player of the Year award? Drew Dinsick of NBC Sports Edge joins Kurt Helin and Corey Robinson of NBC Sports to talk title and award predictions, what the archetype is for players who win each award, and who everyone is picking. There's a lot of Joel Embiid love for MVP, and Jordan Poole is a Sixth Man favorite.

Howard Bender and Adam Ronis update the latest betting lines for NBA futures.

Matt Stroup is joined by Raphielle Johnson, Brad Stonebraker, Vaughn Dalzell, Aaron Robinson and Jared Johnson to talk Anthony Davis's return, the case for Joel Embiid as MVP, plus the second-half outlook for No.1 overall pick Cade Cunningham. Also on this episode: Jusuf Nurkic is trending up, and what to do with Amir Coffey, Luke Kennard and Kevin Porter Jr.

(00:39) Cade Cunningham's surge

(06:17) Jusuf Nurkic trending up

(12:37) An opportunity with the Hawks' win total

(17:54) Klay Thompson's outlook after Tuesday

(23:01) Anthony Davis returns for L.A.

Anthony Edwards was not awarded the Rookie of the Year award for the 2020-21 NBA season on Wednesday as it went to Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball. Did Edwards get robbed or was Ball deserving? Host Brendan Hedtke couldn’t tackle that question alone, so he needed some help. There’s nothing quite like talking to your boss about basketball, so Brendan had Canis Hoopus’ Editor-In-Chief and certified Wolves Optomist Kyle Theige on the podcast to discuss that topic and more.

On the front end of a podcast back-to-back for Thursday and Friday morning, Brendan and Kyle talked about the ROY winner (sans the voting results which were not released at the time of recording), new owner Alex Rodriguez’s Instagram reply about not moving the team, and more!

Come back tomorrow for more content from Brendan and Kyle, including thoughts on the upcoming draft lottery, draft lottery party details, and the duo’s thoughts on how far the Wolves are from being on a level playing field with some of the mid-tier playoff teams.

Wednesday was so insane around the NBA we barely talked about Kevin Durant having a game for the ages the night before. Chris Paul and COVID, Kawhi Leonard and his ACL, Stan Van Gundy out in New Orleans, then Scott Brooks out in Washington, Donnie Nelson out as GM in Dallas, and LaMelo Ball being named Rookie of the Year. It's almost too much to process, but Kurt Helin and Dan Feldman of NBC Sports give it a shot — and they take a couple of listener questions.

Midway through the final week of the regular season, Matt Stroup is joined by Ryan Knaus, Raphielle Johnson, Dr. A and Jared Johnson to discuss an absurd late-season heater from Domantas Sabonis and how high we rank him moving forward. We also look at Russell Westbrook as a major common denominator on fantasy championship squads, debate the Fantasy Rookie of the Year (LaMelo Ball vs. Tyrese Haliburton vs. Anthony Edwards), and consider why Clint Capela and Julius Randle were so underrated in drafts heading into this year.

Who was the MVP for the first half of the NBA season: Joel Embiid? LeBron James? Nikola Jokic? Is LaMelo Ball running away with Rookie of the Year? What about Coach of the Year, should it be Quin Snyder with the Jazz? Tom Thibodeau with the Knicks? Don't sleep on the job that Gregg Popovich is doing with the Spurs. Kurt Helin and Dan Feldman of NBC Sports dive into both of those and the rest of the major NBA awards at the mid-point of the season.

Zion's signature shoe the 'Z Code' is set to release in January of 2021 (how will Jordan compensate for his size and power?), Ja wins rookie of the year, and Andre Iguodala shares praise for his former teammate. Tune in!

LeBron James or Giannis Antetokounmpo for MVP? Zion Williamson or Ja Morant for Rookie of the Year? Can Rudy Gobert three-peat as Defensive Player of the Year? The entire team at NBC Sports' NBA page — Kurt Helin, Dan Feldman, and Keith Smith — talk about their picks for end-of-season awards, and the controversy isn't always where fans might expect it.

Matt joins us from BLEAV in the Washington Wizards to discuss Zion's Rookie of the Year chances, how the NBA will go forward with COVID-19, the playoffs, and more. Tune in!

Is it James Harden or Giannis Antetokounmpo for MVP? Kawhi Leonard or Rudy Gobert for Defensive Player of the Year? Can anyone catch Ja Morant for Rookie of the Year? We've reached the midpoint of the NBA season, meaning it's time for Kurt Helin and Dan Feldman of NBC Sports to break down where the NBA's awards races stand. They also get into Coach of the Year, Most Improved Player, and the All-NBA teams.

Who will take home the NBA MVP hardware this season: Giannis Antetokounmpo? James Harden? Stephen Curry? What about Rookie of the Year? Can anyone top Zion Williamson? What would it take for Ja Morant or anyone else to get into the conversation. Finally, what team will hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy at the end of the season? Will it be a team from Los Angeles? What about Philadelphia? Milwaukee? Can Houston or Utah get in on the conversation. Kurt Helin and Dan Feldman from NBC Sports get into all of that, making their season predictions for the NBA in this latest Pro Basketball Talk podcast.

James Harden or Giannis Antetokounmpo for MVP? Rudy Gobert or Paul George for Defensive Player of the Year? For the first time in more than a decade, is LeBron James not going to make All-NBA First Team? This year's NBA end of season awards have some challenging choices and debates, and Kurt Helin and Dan Feldman of NBC Sports get into all of them. And no, Hawks fans, Trae Young playing good for half a season does not mean Rookie of the Year is up for debate. Kurt and Dan discuss Defensive Player of the Year, Sixth Man, Most Improved, and even the awards for All-Rookie and All-Defensive teams.

The NBA has no chill — we were talking MVP race the first week of the season. Which is way too early. However, now teams are more than halfway through the season and we have seen enough games, we have enough data to start discussing who is the frontrunner for the NBA's end-of-season awards. Is it James Harden or Giannis Antetokounmpo for MVP? Can anyone challenge Luka Doncic for Rookie of the Year? It's a deep field for Coach of the Year, but is Mike Budenholzer the front runner and can Doc Rivers, Dave Joerger or someone else catch him? Kurt Helin and Dan Feldman of NBC Sports talk about their picks at this point of the season and who is in the running long term.

We are 20 games into the NBA season — no more talk of small sample sizes, we have enough data to start drawing conclusions. What teams have surprised us? Boston, Utah, Houston... how worried should we really be about them? Is Sacramento for real? Are teams still ramping up the pace this season? Then there is awards talk: Giannis Antetokounmpo for MVP? LeBron James? And is it Luka Doncic or Deandre Ayton for Rookie of the Year. Kurt Helin and Dan Feldman from NBC Sports get into all of that plus take reader questions and comments on these topics in the lastest PBT Podcast.

Will James Harden repeat as MVP or will someone else — LeBron James, Anthony Davis — grab the award away from him? Luca Doncic and DeAndre Ayton seem to be the favorites for Rookie of the Year, but could Trae Young or Jaren Jackson Jr. push their way into the conversation? Who will win Coach of the Year? Is Jamal Murray a guy to watch for Most Improved Player? Kurt Helin and Dan Feldman of NBC Sports discuss all the major awards plus get into playoff predictions. Can Charlotte sneak into the final playoff slot in the East or is Detroit going to take that? Are the Spurs going to miss the playoffs in the West for the first time in 22 years? And are the Warriors a lock to win it all? (Hint: They are not.)

James Harden or LeBron James for NBA MVP? Donovan Mitchell or Ben Simmons for NBA Rookie of the Year? Out of a crowded field who should be the NBA Coach of the Year? It's a fascinating field and debate, and while the NBA will not announce the official winners until late June, Kurt Helin and Dan Feldman of NBC Sports give you their picks and get into all of the NBA's postseason awards in this podcast. The tough debates include who is on the second and third team All-NBA, as well as second team Rookie of the Year. Kurt and Dan get into them in detail.
