Spurs: Bet odds show Murray's 'Most Improved' stock rising

Dejounte Murray is the undisputed leader of the San Antonio Spurs team in his fifth season. His all-around game is earning him long-deserved attention.

Dejounte Murray is the fourth-best favorite for the NBA Most Improved Player Award. He's averaging 19.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 8,2 assists per game. His team, San Antonio Spurs, needs to finish with a respectable record to be considered.

The last five winners of the award have had a winning percentage of 41.6%. The Spurs would need to finish with a record of 34-48 to be on the same plane as the New Orleans Pelicans when Brandon Ingram won the Award. Miles Bridges and Ja Morant will probably be Dejounte's biggest competition for the Most Improved Player Award this season.
