Postseason Awards Odds

The annual NBA awards will be handed out June 20 as most of the races for these honors look like runaways.

The shortest favorite of the six major accolades is Utah center Rudy Gobert, who is listed at -450 (Bet $450 to win $100) to capture Defensive Player of the Year for the second straight season.

There likely won't be a repeat Most Valuable Player as Houston star James Harden sits at 5/2 odds (Bet $100 to win $250) right behind Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is the clear favorite at -600 to win this honor for the first time in his career.

Another potential no-doubter is for Rookie of the Year with Mavericks' standout Luka Doncic at -1000 after the second pick of last June's draft averaged 21.1 points per game, which was tops among first-year players.
