Would you believe it but Steph Curry has yet to win an NBA Finals MVP in his career but now he is the favorite to take home the 2022 NBA Finals MVP. Both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Devin Booker's odds have slimmed so far as their teams battle it out.
With Curry, he's been on fire over the last three games averaging 31.3 points and six assists per game. Even at 34-years-old, Curry is getting the job done and playing at a high level which is why oddsmakers currently have him as the favorite to win the Finals MVP this year for the Warriors.
2022 NBA Finals MVP Highest Ticket%
- Devin Booker 14.4%
- Giannis Antetokounmpo 10.2%
- Joel Embiid 7.5%
Devin Booker of the Suns is leading the way for the highest ticket percentage at 14.4%. He's only played in two of the games against the Pelicans in their series so he would have to come back from injury and get back in on this run in order to be in the mix. Giannis Antetokounmpo won the award last year and he's looking to be the first repeat winner since Kevin Durant in 2017 and 2018.
2022 NBA Finals MVP Highest Handle%
- Steph Curry 19.5%
- Devin Booker 18.2%
- Giannis Antetokounmpo 12.6%
The betting public loves themselves some Steph Curry. I get it, he's been on an absolute heater doing the playoffs and we've seen him take over for the Warriors on these deep playoff runs in years gone by. Will the Warriors have enough juice to get past the Suns or Memphis? We'll see but the public certainly thinks so.
