As the NBA appears to be nearing a return to the 2019-20 season, online sportsbooks will soon be back up and running with basketball odds available to view.

Of course, the NBA is planning on restarting the season at the Wide World of Sports Complex at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida. The NBA is reportedly holding a vote with the Board of Governors on Thursday as owners are expected to approve the recommendation by commissioner Adam Silver on how the league should resume the season.

The expectation is 22 teams will begin playing at Disney on July 31.

With the league close to agreeing on a format, online sportsbook MyBookie.ag has released a limited number odds for the NBA Playoffs involving New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson. Among the bets, the website has given odds for Williamson winning the NBA Finals MVP award (+12500).

Of course, Williamson would be a longshot to become the Finals MVP given his odds. The Pelicans were out of the playoff picture prior to the season suspension but the NBA reportedly looked at expanding the playoff format once the season returns in order to include Williamson.
