Rockets’ Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun tied for MVP betting odds for 2024-25 season

Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun have established themselves as the cornerstones of the Houston Rockets. They solidified their position during the 2023-24 season, as Green and Sengun led the franchise to 41 wins – their most since jettisoning James Harden in 2021.

The Rockets will build on their success during the 2024-25 season, which could lead to Green and Sengun becoming MVPs. DraftKings recently revealed his MVP odds next season. Green and Sengun respectively have +70,000 odds of winning the prestigious prize.

Şengün played near All-Star level during the first half of the season, averaging 21.2 points, 9.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists. However, Şengün’s season came to a heartbreaking end due to an ankle injury, leading Green to elevate his game to MVP status.

Green averaged 24.2 points on 45.3 percent shooting from the field. The Rockets posted a 13-2 record in March, which included an 11-game winning streak thanks to Green’s play.

“One of the guys I’ve worked with for a long time had a saying: ‘Someone’s got to score,’” general manager Rafael Stone said. “Obviously, the more shots you make, the more you’ll score. In that sense, Jalen benefited from that. Basically, great players can play with great players. We’re a team. I think it’s a great team to have all these guys who, every year, get better and better.”
