The Eastern Conference Finals hasn’t ended yet, but you can already put your bets in for who will win MVP of the NBA Finals. Now that the Golden State Warriors have secured their spot in the championship, Stephen Curry has emerged as the favorite to win the award at +100 odds on Tipico Sportsbook.
It’s been an elusive award for Curry, who has two regular season MVPs to his name but has yet to win the Finals MVP in five previous trips. While he was easily the best player on the Warriors during their first championship run, in 2014-15, the award went to Andre Iguodala. And Kevin Durant won MVP of their next two championships. In the years Golden State lost, LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard won.
However, Curry, who was named the inaugural Western Conference Finals MVP after Thursday’s win, has his best opportunity ahead of him.
