Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul is the current betting favorite to walk away with the NBA Finals MVP award when its all said and done, according to ESPN’s David Purdum.
Paul is listed at +170 to be named MVP at Caesars Sportsbook by William Hill, and tops in number of bets and money wagered at FanDuel and accounts for 45% of the money bet on the MVP market at Caesars/William Hill.
Additionally, Paul has garnered more bets to win Finals MVP honors than any other player at a number of sportsbooks.
“There has been significant action on Chris Paul to win Finals MVP,” Darren Darby, BetMGM sports trader, said in a company release. “Any other player winning the award would be a good outcome for the book.”
Paul’s teammate Devin Booker is next at +260 to win MVP at Caesars/William Hill, while Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is +375.
