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 +135.
Tatum is also at the top of the oddsboard to be named Eastern Conference Finals MVP at -190. His teammate Jaylen Brown is sitting second at +600.
In the West, Denver's Nikola Jokic was the favorite to be named Western Conference Finals MVP but stumbled once his Nuggets went down 2-0 in their Western Conference semifinals matchup with Minnesota.
