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.

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.

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."
