The NBA postseason is well underway, and fans are diving into the MVP betting markets.

Currently, Boston’s Jayson Tatum is the betting favorite to be named Finals MVP at +115. 

Tatum is also at the top of the oddsboard to be named Eastern Conference Finals MVP at -235. His teammate Jaylen Brown is sitting second at +500. 

In the West, Denver’s Nikola Jokic was the favorite to be named Western Conference Finals MVP but his Nuggets fell in seven games in their Western Conference semifinals matchup with Minnesota.

Now, the Wolves’ Anthony Edwards is favored to take home the hardware.

Let’s look at the MVP postseason odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Sunday.

On Monday’s edition of “Undisputed,” FOX Sports’ Keyshawn Johnson gave Edwards his props for his domination of the defending champion Nuggets. 

“There’s something about guys like this, with that energy — it affects the entire team. It trickles down to everybody, including the coaching staff. When I can look at the opponents’ fans and laugh at them, because y’all thought y’all had us, up by 20, and we came and got you … now I got y’all sitting in your seat.”
