2025 NBA All-Star Game MVP Odds and Past Winners: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, LeBron James Favored

The 2025 NBA All-Star Game will feature a format that has never been seen before, which may make it tougher to bet on the All-Star Game MVP.

This year, the All-Star Game is now a tournament, featuring three teams of eight made of NBA All-Stars and one team that will be made up of Rising Stars from the winner of Friday’s contest.

The three teams made up of All-Stars are heavily favored to win the event, but we’ve seen in recent seasons that there is a lack of motivation to play competitive basketball during the All-Star Game. The NBA is looking to change that with this format, which will be played like this :

The 2025 NBA All-Star Game will feature three games in total, as two teams will meet in one semifinal (Game 1), and the remaining two teams will meet in the other semifinal (Game 2).

The winning teams from Game 1 and Game 2 will advance to face each other in the championship (Game 3). The games will be decided/won when a team reaches 40 points.

To win All-Star Game MVP, a player is likely going to need to put together multiple strong performances on Sunday night to capture this award. It’ll also be interesting to see just how much the championship game is weighed by voters compared to the first matchups in the semifinals.

While the NBA should be commended for trying something new, this format makes it tough for bettors to pick an All-Star Game MVP since there is no precedent to base a pick on.

Regardless, here’s a look at the odds for the MVP of the 2025 All-Star Game as well as each of the players to come away with this award in NBA history.
