As you’d expect, Joel Embiid is the overwhelming favorite to win NBA Rookie of the Year.
Per Bovada, the odds say he is 1/25 to win the award. The Sixers just went 10-5 in the month of January, matching last year’s win total, and they were 7-2 in the games Embiid played in. He’s averainging 20-2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game with a 28-minute restriction.
Harden went for a ridiculous 51-point triple-double, but Embiid had 32 points in a 123-118 loss. Here are his highlights @AdrianFedkiw pic.twitter.com/rNfg3pmiFc

Despite not even playing a game, Ben Simmons has the third best odds at 25/1 and Dario Saric is among a group of five players tied for fourth at 33/1. Malcolm Brogdon (Mil) is second at 20/1, while Buddy Hield (NO), Brandon Ingram (LAL), Jamal Murray and Pascal Siakam are tied with Saric.
