NBA Finals MVP Watch

After two games of the NBA Finals, the oddsmakers are telling us it’s a three-horse race to win Finals MVP. 

Steph Curry, after dropping 34 points with five assists and five rebounds in Game 1, is the frontrunner at -115 to win Finals MVP thanks to his 29 points and six rebounds and four assists in a Game 2 victory to level the series at one win aside.

Tatum struggled to score in the series opener, making just three of 17 shots but his 13 assists played a massive role in the Celtics stealing home-court advantage with a win on the road in Game 1. 

Tatum bounced back in Game 2 with 28 points on 8-19 shooting in just 34 minutes. 

If he can find a way to tap into those assist numbers from Game 1, and add in the scoring from Game 2, where he made six of his nine three-point attempts, he could lead the Celtics to their first title since 2008. 

Alongside Tatum is Jaylen Brown, one of the best fourth-quarter players throughout the playoffs.

The 25-year-old leads all players in fourth-quarter scoring, and put that on full display earlier in the series when he scored 10 fourth-quarter points to help Boston erase a 12-point deficit and steal Game 1. 

Al Horford and Marcus Smart are the next players listed at +6500. 

Horford scored a team-high 26 points in Game 1, while Smart went four of seven from beyond the arc, adding 18 points and two steals in the victory. 

However, after solid opening games from both players, they combined for just four total points and went two of 10 from the
