Pinnacle:

Ben Gordon @ +158 looks great. Gordon has his team coasting into the playoffs and is a monster in the 4th quarter of games. Okafor kept his team from testing the NBA worst 15 games wins in a season.

ben gordon should get this, but since he's getting the 6th man award (most likely), i think they'll give the rookie mvp to okafor.

Forget about the rookie of the year, and just bet SHAQ for MVP. He wins it in a close race with Nash. SHAQ will be MVP!:103631605

Okafor. It reminds of last year when Anthony had a better year than Lebron but did not win ROY because King James was given ROY early on. Same situation this year as Okafor has been talked about as ROY early. Gordon will win best 6th man of the year.

Sad to say but Nash will not win MVP. A lot of the voters are black and they are not going to give it to the white guy.

don't put money on him, he most likely won't win. If anything, make it a small play. Don't "Load Up."

Sure looks like Shaq is going to win it, but what a joke. A 23/10 season isn't MVP worthy. This one is a reputation move plain and simple because the numbers certainly don't back it up.

If I had a vote it would go to Nowitzki. He has improved his numbers substantially this year even with losing a great point guard. Nash certainly deserves the credit for much of the Suns turnaround, but I think Dirk's production is just better and Dirk has less talent around him to make him a better player.

Hard to see Okafor not winning the ROY. Gordon's having a good season, but Okafor is a one man show with an all-around game to back up his superior numbers.

Not strange at all. Gordon comes off the bench and is clutch in the 4th qtr. Okafor is the whole package. Alot of voters will look at their ROY ballot and Best 6th Man Award ballot. They'll pencil in Gordon for 6th man, Okafor for ROY. Makes sense. I believe thats how it will play out.

WOW! Shaq was +113 to win the MVP last night on Pinnacle and now he is -176 to win it. A ton of money must have come in on Shaq. That is quite a move in the line in only a short period of time.

I would vote for Nash for what he has done with Phoenix. How rare is it for a guy that may win MVP(Shaq) and is not your go to guy late in the game? Wade does all the ball handling and shooting late in the 4th qtr when the game is close. The reason for this is that Shaq misses too many free throws. I was a little surprised by the line movement on Shaq too. Its like he has already won.
