It’s official!
The NHL and the NHLPA have reached an agreement to play the 2020-21 season, with a 56-game regular season beginning January 13 and concluding May 8.

I’m not much for math, but I am quite sure he got his money’s worth out of that 1%. It is a complete work of art, right down to the verdant plaza at its base, designed by the revered modernist landscape architect Dan Kiley.

NBA MVP Odds 2021: Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo Favored, Best Bets For Award

As Giannis Antetokounmpo looks to win his third straight NBA MVP award, he’ll have to fend off the league’s next great superstar. Luka Doncic heads into the 2020-21 season as the prohibitive favorite in the MVP race.

The odds suggest Doncic and Antetokounmpo make up the top tier of MVP contenders, considering no other player even has +800 MVP odds. LeBron James has been the NBA’s best player for at least a decade, but Doncic and Antetokounmpo have the best chance of eventually taking his place.
