When regular season MVP odds were last available, Jokic was the heavy betting favorite at -10000.
With postseason play underway, you can wager on Nikola Jokic Finals MVP odds at a handful of operators. The current best price for Jokic to win Finals MVP is +290.
Betting on the Denver Nuggets
This team was a terrific NBA Championship bet last preseason when they were +1800 to do something no Denver Nuggets team had ever done before: Win a championship.
Those with clear crystal balls got paid handsomely, and the trick this year is figuring out if someone has caught up to them after an offseason of massive player movement brought Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns to make them good enough to begin the season as co-favorites with Denver as the second wagering choice behind Boston and Milwaukee.
Of the Top 10 teams on the FanDuel Colorado NBA championship odds list, 7 are from the West.

Nuggets 2023-2024 Season
The Nuggets return pretty much the same team that won the NBA Finals in five games, with the biggest departure being Bruce Brown's exit for Indiana in free agency; the biggest addition being Justin Holiday from the Dallas Mavericks. Denver finished last season 53-29, which was only the fourth-best record in the NBA.
That is because the East was weak and remains that way, while the competition out West most definitely got tougher. Finishing first overall is still the goal, and as we learned with Miami going from a No. 8 seed to the finals, the postseason is a whole different animal. But if the Nuggets stay healthy, their status as defending champs certainly makes team the team to beat.
