2026 NBA Clutch Player of the Year Odds, Favourites, & Predictions

Last season’s MVP has already tallied nearly 50 clutch points with the regular season just over a week old.

With that said, let’s take a look at the players with the shortest NBA odds of winning the Clutch Player of the Year award at the BetMGM online sportsbook.

NBA Clutch Player of the Year Odds 2026

Prediction: Who Will Win the NBA Clutch Player of the Year in 2026?

Anthony Edwards is the current favourite to win the NBA Clutch Player of the Year in 2026 with basketball odds of +700, followed by:

• Stephen Curry (+900)
• Kevin Durant (+1000)
• Jalen Brunson (+1100)
• Luka Dončić (+1100)
• Nikola Jokić (+1100)
• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (+1100)

I predict that Gilgeous-Alexander will win the 2026 NBA Clutch Player of the Year award because he currently leads the league in clutch points (46).

He’s just so adept at taking his defender one-on-one and getting to his spot, which puts a ton of pressure on opposing defences with the game on the line.

2026 NBA Clutch Player of the Year Favourites & Best Bets

Anthony Edwards Clutch Player of the Year Odds +700

Edwards helped the Minnesota Timberwolves come away with a 118-114 win on opening night, scoring 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting in the final five minutes of play. 

He finished the game with 41 points on 14-of-28 shooting.

Edwards will be reevaluated in one week after suffering a hamstring strain.

Stephen Curry Clutch Player of the Year Odds +900

Curry scored 35 points in the second half of his second game of the season, a 137-131 overtime win for the Golden State Warriors over the Denver Nuggets.

All he needs is a sliver of space to get his shots, no matter where he’s pulling up.

Kevin Durant Clutch Player of the Year Odds +1000

Durant has 11 clutch points so far this season.

There are few, if any, more dangerous players with the ball in their hands in clutch situations.

Even if he doesn’t have a clean look, KD will find a way to get to the free-throw line.

Jalen Brunson Clutch Player of the Year Odds +1100

Brunson hasn’t scored a clutch point yet this season, but that’s more a reflection of the New York Knicks not being in close games down the stretch.

He’s averaging 31.8 points on 48.3% shooting through his first four games.

Luka Dončić Clutch Player of the Year Odds +1100

Dončić got off to a blistering start to the year, averaging 46.5 points on a staggering 62% shooting through his first two games.

He will be out for at least a week with a finger sprain and leg contusion.

Nikola Jokić Clutch Player of the Year Odds +1100

Jokić has five clutch points so far.

The Joker has recorded a triple-double in his first three games, the latest coming in a 127-114 win over the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

He registered 25 points on 9-of-10 shooting, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Clutch Player of the Year Odds +1100

The price seems a little low for the reigning MVP’s early-season success. 

However, with OKC drawing two easy matchups against the Washington Wizards and New Orleans Pelicans, Gilgeous-Alexander may not have a chance to pad his clutch points total anytime soon.
