Have we ever seen a player so massively favored to lead the NBA Finals in both assists (-20000) and rebounds (-2000) as Nikola Jokic? At least the series points “title” could be close. Read on:
Jokic (+120): He could score 30+ a game if he desires, but perhaps he’ll be more of a facilitator? Maybe Bam Adebayo pushes him to the perimeter?
Jimmy Butler (+165): Let’s not forget he went off for 56 in Game 4 versus the Bucks. Jimmy Buckets can get ‘em when he wants.
Jamal Murray (+225): The sneaky play here, Denver’s PG is fully healthy and averaging 27.7 points in the postseason — 7.7 more than in the reg.
Caleb Martin (+5000): After scoring just 9.6 ppg this regular season, Martin averaged 19.3 in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Bam Adebayo (+6000): Shot just 8-for-26 in the final two games of the Celtics series.
