2026 NBA All-Star Game MVP Odds (Victor Wembanyama, Tyrese Maxey Lead Way)

The NBA is debuting yet another All-Star Game format this season, and there are three teams that will compete for the crown in a USA vs. World format.

There are two USA teams (Stars and Stripes) and one World team that will compete in a round-robin tournament.

That makes betting on the All-Star Game MVP a little tricky, but there are a few players to consider ahead of Sunday night’s game.

Here’s a look at the odds, my MVP pick from each team and more ahead of the final event of All-Star Weekend.

2026 NBA All-Star Game MVP Prediction

Betting on the All-Star Game MVP is tough this season, because you likely need to pick a player on the team that is going to win the entire round-robin tournament.

On top of that, you also need to find a player that is motivated to win the MVP award, as we’ve seen several players not put in much effort in the All-Star Game. It’s unclear if that’ll be the case again this season.

Usually, the All-Star Game MVP is going to go to a player that scores a ton of points, so I’ve outlined one from each team that I think could be worth a bet:

World Team: Victor Wembanyama (+410)

We’ve seen Wembanyama’s competitive spirit come out in the All-Star Game before, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the driving force behind a Team World win in this competition.

The Spurs star can impact the game on both ends, and his desire to dominate in this setting may be enough for him to win the MVP. Wemby had 17 points, seven boards and a pair of blocks in the shorter tournament-style All-Star Game last year.

USA Stars: Tyrese Maxey (+1000)

Maxey is averaging 28.9 points per game this season, and he’s on a USA team that one would expect to be led by Anthony Edwards.

However, the Timberwolves star hasn’t exactly taken the All-Star Game super seriously in past seasons, spending one game taking a bunch of shots left-handed.

Maxey can score from all over the floor, and he’s only making his second All-Star appearance. He could be motivated to put his name in the history books on Sunday.

USA Stripes: Donovan Mitchell (+1400)

One of the best scorers in the NBA this season, averaging 29.0 points per game, Mitchell has the ability to get hot in a hurry.

I don’t expect much from LeBron James in this game – especially after he sat out last year’s event – and this team features two late additions in De’Aaron Fox and Brandon Ingram. Mitchell and Jaylen Brown stand out as two players that could look to put this squad on their back, and I think Mitchell at +1400 has a little more value based on the odds.
