NBA award predictions 2026-27: Victor Wembanyama MVP, Cameron Boozer for ROTY, Zach Edey MIP, and more

Key points

• Victor Wembanyama is the betting favourite for the 2026-27 NBA MVP award, but his health and competition from players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic make it uncertain. Cameron Boozer is predicted to win Rookie of the Year, while Zach Edey is tipped for Most Improved Player.
• Wembanyama is also favoured for Defensive Player of the Year if he plays 65 games.
• Other awards include Dylan Harper for Sixth Man of the Year, Anthony Edwards for Clutch Player of the Year, and Darko Rajakovic for Coach of the Year.
