Rudy Gobert has won the NBA‘s Defensive Player of the Year three times (2018, ‘19, ’21) and, based on the odds, he might be on his way to claiming the trophy a fourth time.The Minnesota Timberwolves center’s odds to win the award opened this season at +1800. At the end of the calendar year, he was sitting at -115.Now, with about a month left to play in the regular season, those odds have shortened all the way to -900. Averaging 12.9 rebounds per game — which is good for second in the league — Gobert’s 7-foot-1 presence in the paint has been a big part of Minnesota’s success. Can anyone catch the three-time All-Star and six-time first team All-Defensive Team selection in the DPOY race? Let’s take a look at the odds.NBA Defensive Player of the Year Odds*Rudy Gobert, Timberwolves: -900 (bet $10 to win $11.11 total)Victor Wembanyama, Spurs: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)Jarrett Allen, Cavaliers: +2900 (bet $10 to win $300 total)Bam Adebayo, Heat: +4000 (bet $10 to win $410 total)Anthony Davis, Lakers: +5500 (bet $10 to win $560 total)Derrick White, Celtics: +11000 (bet $10 to win $1,110 total)Chet Holmgren, Thunder: +11000 (bet $10 to win $1,110 total)Jaden McDaniels, Timberwolves: +21000 (bet $10 to win $2,110 total)*odds as of 3/15/2024If there is one player who could give Gobert a run for his money in the DPOY race, it’s San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama. The NBA‘s favorite for Rookie of the Year is averaging 10.3 boards and 3.4 blocks per contest and, on Feb. 23, became just the 15th player in history to amass a ‘5×5’ statline when he notched 27 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks against the Los Angeles Lakers.Despite the neophytes’ stifling play on the defensive end of the court, it appears even he is conceding this year’s award to Gobert. When French journalist Théo Quintard recently asked Wemby about his thoughts on contending for the DPOY this season, the Frenchman replied: “I know that Rudy (Gobert) has a very good chance of winning it this year, and it would be deserved. Let him win it now because after that it’s no longer his turn.”While it’s admirable for the youngster to defer to his elders, the race is still not decided and Wembanyama’s odds have been shortening all season long. Toward the end of December, Wemby’s odds were as long as +7500 at some books, and in Feb, he was still sitting at +2000 or longer.Now, midway through Mar, his odds to win the award are +1000.Who are you backing to win the Defensive Player of the Year?
