2023-24 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Pick & Predictions
This market is not recommended on wagering right now, as it is far too early to consider a serious ticket. Brook Lopez at 14/1 is intriguing depending where he lands, but the last two winners have been a bit unpredictable so it's best to wait on this market. Rudy Gobert and Giannis Antetokounmpo are typically in contention every year and are probably the most consistent contenders in this market.
NBA Defensive Player of the Year Winner History
Marcus Smart and Jaren Jackson, Jr. have put an end to the Rudy Gobert dominance in this market - for now. Gobert has won this award three times over the last six seasons and is the last player to win the award twice since Kawhi Leonard. Because of the rebounding and blocks combination this is typically a big man's award to lose, with a 4 or 5 (PF or C) winning six of the last seven seasons.
