Nothing has changed at the top of this market since the NBA playoffs started.

The latest: Jayson Tatum and Nikola Jokic continue to lead the way as their teams — the Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets — are the favourites to win the NBA Finals. But players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards look more appealing as the postseason carries on.

Check out the latest odds to win NBA Finals MVP below.

The co-favourites: Tatum and Jokic (+200)

Boston is a +110 favourite to win the title as of April 30. The only other team in the same stratosphere is the Nuggets, who are +200.

As long as these teams stay alive, Tatum and Jokic will continue to be the betting favourites to win this award.

Jokic is the reigning Finals MVP and he's expected to win the regular season MVP award for the third time in his career.

He already has two triple-doubles this postseason and averaged 28.2 points, 16.2 rebounds and 9.8 assists in a five-game series victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Tatum's Celtics are up 3-1 going into Game 5 at home on May 1.

Jaylen Brown, Tatum's sidekick, is third on the board at +650.

MVP notes

  • Gilgeous-Alexander (+900) is the only other player with odds shorter than 10-to-1. The Oklahoma City Thunder star is an intriguing option at this number as his team advanced to the second round after sweeping the New Orleans Pelicans. That came after finishing as the West's No. 1 seed.
  • Next up: Edwards (+1,200). The 22-year-old star powered the Minnesota Timberwolves to a first-round sweep over the Phoenix Suns. Edwards averaged 31.0 points in the series and dropped 40 in the clincher. Like SGA, Edwards has major appeal. The Timberwolves are a force, finishing with the NBA's best defensive rating in the regular season, and Edwards is their best player. But he'll have to get them past the Nuggets next.
  • Five days ago, Giannis Antetokounmpo was +3,000 to win and Damian Lillard was +10,000. Now they're +10,000 and +50,000, respectively, and their Milwaukee Bucks are on the brink of elimination. Antetokounmpo hasn't played once and Lillard is hurt, missing Game 3. Neither is expected for Tuesday's must-win Game 5. The Bucks are a complete mess.
  • One team between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers has to get through, which means they will be among the final four teams in the West. That alone should make stars like Luka Doncic (+1,400) and Kyrie Irving (+8,000) worth consideration. As for the Clippers, injured star Kawhi Leonard (+6,000) still has the shortest odds despite missing two games and playing poorly in the other two. Paul George is +10,000 while James Harden is +25,000.
