Updated May. 17, 2024 11:07 a.m. ET

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 +130.

Tatum is also at the top of the oddsboard to be named Eastern Conference Finals MVP at -210. 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 stumbled once his Nuggets went down 2-0 in their Western Conference semifinals matchup with Minnesota.

However, Denver has since bounced back and that series is tied 3-3.

Will the three-time league MVP be able to complete the comeback and come one step closer to adding more hardware to the trophy case?
