Stephen Curry heavy betting favorite to win MVP

The odds are Stephen Curry will soon have that elusive NBA Finals MVP in his possession — at least if you believe the Caesars Palace Race and Sports Book.

 

Golden State’s Game 2 victory evened the NBA Finals series on Sunday. Afterwards, the Warriors’ star was installed as the favorite at -200 to capture MVP honors. It would be his first MVP award in 5 trips to the finals.

Raptors star Kawhi Leonard, at +280, is the next best bet to take home the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP award. After Curry and Leonard, Caesars’ odds then favor Draymond Green (+650), Klay Thompson (+2,000) and then a tie between Kevin Durant (+3,000) and Toronto’s Pascal Siakam (+3,000).

Stephen Curry, though, is averaging a team-high 28.5 points through two games. He scored 34 points in Toronto’s Game 1 victory.

Andre Iguodala and Kevin Durant (twice) have earned the Finals MVP awards for the Warriors during Golden State’s dynasty of three titles in the last four years. Winning a Finals MVP is about the only thing missing from Curry’s Hall of Fame resume.
