Victor Wembanyama opens the 2026-27 season as the -360 favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year at DraftKings, a 78.3% implied chance, after winning the award for 2025-26. No MVP market and no season-long player props for him are posted on the board we can read, so this page shows the prices that exist and the numbers behind them.
Wembanyama averaged 25.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and a league-leading 3.1 blocks in 64 games last season. San Antonio went 62-20, won the Western Conference and lost the NBA Finals to New York in five games.
Victor Wembanyama odds for 2026-27
These are the markets that carry his name or his team on the DraftKings board ESPN carries, read September 24, 2026. The board sits under ESPN’s 2026-27 season, and the 2025-26 awards are already settled, so every price here is for the season that opens on October 20.
| Market | Price | Implied chance |
|---|---|---|
| Wembanyama to win Defensive Player of the Year | -360 | 78.3% |
| Spurs to win the NBA title | +270 | 27.0% |
| Spurs to win the Western Conference | +160 | 38.5% |
For a minus price the implied chance is the price divided by the price plus 100, so -360 is 360 over 460. For a plus price it is 100 divided by the price plus 100.
The board has no MVP market for 2026-27 yet, and no season props on Wembanyama such as a 50-point game, a rebounding title or a triple-double count. When those go up, they belong on this page. Until then, any number quoted for them elsewhere is one we have not been able to source.
Defensive Player of the Year board
Wembanyama is the shortest price on a board of 68 players. Every name below him is at +1200 or longer.
| Player | Team | Price | Implied chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Victor Wembanyama | San Antonio Spurs | -360 | 78.3% |
| Chet Holmgren | Oklahoma City Thunder | +1200 | 7.7% |
| Ausar Thompson | Detroit Pistons | +2500 | 3.8% |
| Rudy Gobert | Minnesota Timberwolves | +3000 | 3.2% |
| Evan Mobley | Cleveland Cavaliers | +4000 | 2.4% |
| Bam Adebayo | Miami Heat | +4000 | 2.4% |
Add the implied chances across all 68 prices and they come to 123.4%, which is the book’s margin in this market. The true chance behind each price is lower than the table shows. Holmgren, Thompson and Gobert all made the 2025-26 All-Defensive First Team with Wembanyama.
A futures bet is only worth making when you rate the chance higher than the price does. At -360, Wembanyama has to win this award more than 78.3% of the time for the bet to break even, over a season in which he played 64 games last time and 46 the year before. More on the award is on our NBA Defensive Player of the Year odds page.
Wembanyama by season
His regular-season numbers from ESPN, three seasons in San Antonio.
| Season | GP | MIN | PTS | REB | AST | BLK | FG% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-24 | 71 | 29.7 | 21.4 | 10.6 | 3.9 | 3.6 | 46.5 |
| 2024-25 | 46 | 33.2 | 24.3 | 11.0 | 3.7 | 3.8 | 47.6 |
| 2025-26 | 64 | 29.2 | 25.0 | 11.5 | 3.1 | 3.1 | 51.2 |
The 2025-26 season was his most efficient. He shot 51.2% from the field and 82.7% from the line, got to 7.0 free-throw attempts a game, and scored 1,600 points, a career high. He had 42 double-doubles and one triple-double.
His 3.1 blocks a game led the league by more than a full block, with Alex Sarr next at 2.0. On the glass he was fourth on ESPN’s per-game list at 11.5, level with Gobert and behind Nikola Jokic at 12.9, Karl-Anthony Towns at 11.9 and Donovan Clingan at 11.6. That is the gap any rebounding-title price would have to close.
What he won in 2025-26
Wembanyama won Defensive Player of the Year and made the All-NBA First Team and the All-Defensive First Team. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won MVP.
In the playoffs he averaged 23.8 points, 10.9 rebounds and 3.5 blocks in 22 games, and was named MVP of the Western Conference finals. San Antonio beat Oklahoma City in seven games in that series, winning Game 7 111-103 on the road, then lost the Finals to the Knicks 4-1. Jalen Brunson was Finals MVP.
Where the Spurs start
San Antonio and Oklahoma City share the shortest title price at +270, and the Thunder are ahead in the West at +145 to the Spurs’ +160. The two open the season against each other: Thunder at Spurs on Tuesday, October 20, at 9:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
