The 2023 NBA Finals will kick off Thursday night, and we have the latest betting odds on who will take home this season’s Finals MVP Award.
Jokic is averaging a triple-double in these playoffs. His eight triple-doubles are the most for any player during a single postseason.
Jokic got all nine votes for the Earvin “Magic” Johnson Trophy as the Most Valuable Player of the 2023 Western Conference Finals after the Nuggets’ four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers.If the Nuggets are able to pull off a series win, he will almost assuredly put up big numbers.Seeing Butler at No. 2 on this list is no shocker after an incredibly impressive playoff performance of his own.
Butler is averaging 28.5 ppg, 7.0 rpg and 5.7 apg this postseason, leading the Heat to massive upsets of the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics during an improbable — to say the least — NBA Finals run. He is the undisputed leader of this Miami team, and if they are able to, somehow, pull off another upset of the Nuggets, Butler will be at the center of it.
Butler actually has better odds to win the Finals MVP than the Heat do to beat the Nuggets in the series, which suggests that oddsmakers think there’s a world where he wins the award in a losing effort for just the second time in NBA history .
