NBA general managers overwhelmingly pick Thunder to repeat as champions, Nikola Jokic for MVP - Washington Times

The league’s GM poll projects Oklahoma City Thunder to become the first repeat champ in nearly a decade, with Jokic pegged as the MVP favorite and Spoelstra as the top coach. Thunder lead the title odds, while Jokic’s international-MVP trend continues with a strong push for a fourth MVP in six years. The poll also signals rising squads (Orlando, Atlanta), veteran shooters (Curry), and rookie echoes (Flagg, Wembanyama), shaping early fantasy focus.

Which GM poll takeaway most affects fantasy strategies for the upcoming season?How should fantasy managers position around Jokic’s MVP odds and Nuggets’ title chances?Which rookies stand to shape fantasy leagues most after Flagg and Wembanyama?Which coaching and roster shifts could most influence fantasy values this season?
