Jayson Tatum Favored to Win NBA Finals MVP
As the odds continue to shade towards the Celtics winning the NBA Championship, Tatum remains the favorite as the team's best player and most likely player to win, close to becoming the odds-on favorite as the Celtics are viewed as massive favorites to make the NBA Finals for the second time in three seasons.
Boston, despite Tatum being the likely winner, has plenty of contenders for the award with Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and Kristaps Porzingis all sitting at +2500 or lower.
Meanwhile, out west, two emerging superstars have become the second and third choice to win Finals MVP between Edwards and Doncic. The two players are closely tied to their team's NBA title odds as the Timberwolves are +290 and the Mavericks are +500.
Tyrese Haliburton is predictably the most likely Pacers player to win, but the team is still viewed as a non-starter in NBA title discussions, and that's reflected in the odds as he is a longshot at +3600.
