Market Movers 📊
Miss the Marketplace Report? Check out this thread with charts from _GregMurray detailing all the market trends from last week
With the end of the regular season just 17 days away, the major awards races are starting to heat up. Let’s take a look at the potential MVP contenders, with this awesome interactive chart from @SteefCrypto:
This @NBA MVP Race is getting spicy🌶️
Contender 15,000 LE Moments (today):
🏆$86 | Dončić
🏆$72 | Curry
🏆$48 | Jokić
🏆$42 | Giannis
🏆$36 | Embiid
Charts by @SteefCrypto
Data from @EvaluateMarket https://t.co/6CbAzL5EgU
It’s interesting to note the fluctuations and large price difference between Luka Doncic and Steph Curry from the field. Especially when Nikola Jokic currently is a heavy favorite (-500) on the betting markets, with Joel Embiid having the second best odds. Chalk it up to the big man bias we frequently see on the NBA Top Shot marketplace, perhaps?
