Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker has slowly climbed his way up the NBA ranks. 

After being a lottery pick for the Suns, Booker has emerged into one of the league's best scorers. His three consecutive All-Star appearances and Olympic gold medal on top of this year's All-NBA first team nod appear to be just the beginning of his basketball resume. 

Booker has fell just short in two facets: Winning the league's MVP award, and winning the NBA Finals. 

The latter nearly happened two years ago when the Suns were up 2-0 over the Milwaukee Bucks before Phoenix let the NBA Finals slip away. This season, Booker finished fourth in MVP voting. 

However, the 2022-23 season looks to be different after the Suns bounced out of the playoffs early. Phoenix will need Booker to emerge into an even better player to capture that elusive championship - the same goes for capturing his first MVP trophy. 

BetMGM recently released their odds on who will win the 2022-23 regular season MVP trophy, and Booker found himself tied with Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James at +2000 to take home the award. 

2023 NBA MVP Odds

Joel Embiid +500

Luka Doncic +550

Giannis Antetokounmpo +700 

Nikola Jokic +850

Ja Morant +1000

Kevin Durant +1200

Jayson Tatum +1400 

Steph Curry +1800

LeBron James +2000

Devin Booker +2000

Trae Young +3000

Kawhi Leonard +4000

Last season, Booker played 68 games and averaged a career-high 26.8 points per game. He also saw a career-high in rebounds per contest (5) with 4.8 assists as well.

Booker played a major role in the Suns reaching new franchise records, including regular season wins (64).
