When it comes to Rookie of the Year, new Boston Celtic Jayson Tatum has pretty good odds.
According to the figures released by Bovada, the online gambling empire and one of the leading sites for sports betting, Tatum has nine-to-one odds of winning the award despite the Philadelphia Knee Injuries fielding yet another "rookie" in the form of Ben Simmons, who is surprisingly not favored to "win" the award with three-to-one odds (I use scare quotes because I think it unfair when guys have a whole year or more to learn the NBA, but that's a whole different story I'll save for this year's awards).
