5. Dwayne Wade (Miami Heat)<\/strong><\/p>\nWade\u2019s historic resurgence in this year\u2019s NBA betting season has been nothing short of incredible. Wade had been somewhat injury prone, but with Marion and Beasley coming to Miami, the pressure has been lifted off Wade\u2019s shoulders. His response? By barreling through defenses and putting up MVP caliber numbers. Wade is averaging 28-7-5 putting him right in the thick of things when it comes to the MVP race. It\u2019s no secret that Miami is a horribly undersized team with little experience and a benign cancer in Marion. If Wade is able to pull these guys up from the drudges of the NBA betting pits, then the MVP trophy could be his.<\/p>\n
6. Chris Bosh (Toronto Raptors)<\/strong><\/p>\nBosh is the engine in Toronto that gets things going. He\u2019ll always lose to Amare and Howard in the conversation about big men, and with 23-10-2 on the season his numbers are always going to be outstanding. Whether or not he can finally level the Raptors out in to a viable playoff contender is what will make the difference for the free-agent to be.<\/p>\n
7. Amare Stoudemire (Phoenix Suns)<\/strong><\/p>\nThis guy is a monster, but the fact is that the system still revolves around Steve Nash and a resurrected Shaquille O\u2019Neal. Amare has to blow up for monster game after monster game, and I just don\u2019t know if the 26 year-old high school graduate has it in him. He\u2019s a threat when it comes to matching up one-on-one, but as an MVP candidate, he\u2019s falling just short.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
