With the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics splitting Games 1 and 2, Stephen Curry still boasts the best odds to win NBA Finals MVP.
Curry has led the NBA Finals with 63 points scored, while his biggest competitor for the award, Jayson Tatum of the Celtics, has tallied just 40. Tatum played more of a distributor role in Game 1, which saw him finish Boston’s victory with 13 assists.
Curry is the current odds on favorite to take home the award at +100, with Tatum not far behind at +135. With so much series left to play, it’s hard to officially say that this is just a two-horse race, but the next closest competitor is Jaylen Brown of the Celtics at +750.
