According to Covers (from the link you provided), Draymond was at +5000 back in February - meaning no one expected him to be competitive this season. But now? He's emerged as a favorite. It's similar to the Warriors' championship odds,  earlier this season, their payouts were huge due to their struggles, but now those odds have tightened significantly as their performance improved.

For sure to those who managed to take that offer even the league still to far they'll be making decent amount of profits in case the movement will continue favoring their position, Green together with the warriors are really performing though they've lost the game today as Houston really played hard defense making sure that they'll not going to allow Steph making easy shots..

We are getting really close to the end of regular season. Only a few more games left to be completed. For now Thunder and Cavaliers look really impressive. But I still doubt both of them during playoffs. They were really good last season too but none of them reached the final series. 

What do you think about Celtics' chance for a back-to-back championship? They have done really nice during regular season. I think they will find Lakers or Nuggets against themselves in the final series.

Not really understanding what makes Draymond that much of a better defender than other names, he is not individually better, he is just a defensive leader that's it. He isn't better at locking someone up, he isn't better at blocks, he isn't better at steals, he isn't better at rebounding, he is defensively worse in every category than every other candidate.

Only one thing he is better than others, which is being a defensive leader, and making the team better defensively overall whenever he is on the floor. He doesn't defend as good as others on the list, but he does make his team better than other teams. So now we are giving awards to people who make others better? I do not see Mobley being worse than Draymond, this idea doesn't make sense to me. It has to be the best individual defender.

Demar DeRozan and Zach LaVine were in their bag tonight combining for 80 points to beat the Detroit Pistons. The Kings are desperate for wins to improve their play-in position so I knew they were going to bring their best tonight. I’m glad it paid off for them even if it means my Suns will never see the playoffs.

Don't sleep on the Cavaliers and Thunder this playoffs. While they may have fallen short in last year's playoffs, they're currently leading their respective conferences for good reason. The Celtics? Of course they remain the title favorites as they're the defending champions with consistent Finals experience. But out West, I don't see the Lakers making noise. My money's on the Warriors to be the team that advances deeper.

Specially the Thunder, they really improved from last year, although from last season, they are the top seed by didn't go all the way to the conference finals as they are young and inexperience.

But this season, it might a difference one as they are more mature now, and obviously the chemistry has grown better.

As for the Warriors, I do agree, they could be the dark horse with Curry still leading them to a very hard and difficult 5th ring.

I think it's more on the Cavaliers to prove themselves and if Donovan Mitchell can lead a team to the finals. We have seen the when he was in Utah, it was really very deep but it seems that they can't get over after the first round even though in the regular season they are one of the best. So he is here again, the same situation and probably we can compare the players as well as very much similar to the core of Utah back then. So let's see if Mitchell can get over the hump and mentality to finally go into an NBA finals and see if he can bring another ring in Cleveland.

This expansion idea would likely fail. The NBA should stick to what works, it's already the world's premier basketball league, where champions rightfully claim to be the planet's best team. Having multiple 'world champion' titles across different leagues makes no sense.

The NBA's success is evident in its players' massive salaries. Rather than greedily pursuing global domination, they should focus on strengthening their own league and let other countries develop their own basketball ecosystems.
