Do sportsbooks offer bets on nba awards?

[JoJo5473]

Today Mike Brown won the coach of the year award but before that, there didn’t seem to be any bets offered by some of the major sports books on the award events, I have been betting on Pinnacle and I didn’t find any bets offered on the COY award today. Do sportsbooks put up bets for nba award winners? What was the situation like last year? (and other awards such as MVP, 6th man, DPY, ROY 1stand 2nd teams selection etc) Someone who’s been betting long enough please let me know. To me it’s strange that they even put up bets on Oscar awards but not on the nba?

They do offer them I don't remember if they are under future bets or prop bets, but you have to get them in early in the season. For instance in the summer pre-season I placed a wager on OJ Mayo ROY award. It is going to lose as Derrick Rose is going to get it of course. Last year I had a wager on Kobe for MVP during the pre-season as well and that won so they do offer them. They offer it for every sport the Heisman in NCAA Football, CY Young in baseball, basically whatever one you want you just have to do it early enough.
