Updated 2022 NBA Finals MVP odds Steph C

The NBA Finals are knotted at one game apiece as the Warriors responded to a disappointing Game 1 lo s with a dominant 107-88 victory in Game 2. As the series now shifts to Boston, so, too, are the Finals MVP odds shifting after each game. Below, well recap how the market has moved and who stands out as the favorite and best bets.Before the Finals began, Steph Curry was the odds-on favorite at -116 (implied probability 53.7 percent) to win his first-ever Finals MVP. Currys odds to win the MVP coincided with the Warriors entering Game 1 as -150 favorites (implied probability 60 percent) on the series line.Jayson Tatums MVP odds at +149 Riley Ridley Jersey (implied probability 40.16 percent) led all Celtics, which isnt a surprise considering the 24-year-old wing has shouldered the load during his teams Finals run.

The Celtics 19.4-turnover percentage was also killer for a team hopeful of going up 2-0.With the series odds close to a pick em price, heres how the current MVP odds stack up approaching Game 3:PlayerTeamOddsStephen CurryWarriors-139Jayson TatumCeltics-111Jaylen BrownCeltics+720Marcus SmartCeltics+5150Al HorfordCeltics+5290Draymond GreenWarriors+6290Andrew WigginsWarriors+7520Klay ThompsonWarriors+12900Jordan PooleWarriors+13100Robert WilliamsCeltics+38100Grant WilliamsCeltics+50000Kevon LooneyWarriors+50000 If youre interested in betting the Warriors to win the 2022 NBA Finals, consider making a wager on Curry to win MVP. Unle s Curry goes down with an injury limiting his playing ability (knock on wood), at this point hes close to a shoo-in to eradicate the narrative and win his first-ever Finals MVP (barring injury, of course). With the third-shortest odds, Brown might be a little too overqualified to be a "sleeper," but he's really the Mike Singletary Jersey only other player aside from Curry and Tatum worth investing in at this point. He was instrumental in the Celtics' Game 1 win, stuffing the stat sheet with 24 points, seven rebounds, and five a sists. He also had a decent Game 2 with 17 points, six rebounds, and three a sists despite poor shooting. Hes clearly going to play a key role in any Boston victories, and the numbers will be on par with Tatum's. Hes a long shot for a reason, but if youre interested in sprinkling a little money on a player who could pay off handsomely, look no Roquan Smith Jersey further than Horford.Despite an inefficient showing in Game 2, Horford led the Celtics in scoring during Game 1 with 26 points on 9-of-12 shooting, connecting on 6-of-8 three-point attempts.Horfords pre-Finals odds of +6520 dramatically shifted up to +1400 after Game 1. His odds have since dropped back down to north of 50-1 after his inefficient Game 2 performance. If its not Tatum or Brown taking home MVP honors, why not Horford, whose offense and defense are clearly needed for Celtics succe s? You could make the same argument for Marcus Smart, but his odds are slightly shorter and he appears to be le s James Daniels Jersey healthy than Horford.
