Here’s what to know about these oddsboards:
West Battle: OKC’s SGA is the back-to-back regular-season MVP, reigning Western Conference finals MVP and reigning NBA Finals MVP — but it appears Victor Wembanyama is ready to put an end to at least two of those streaks. In Game 1 of the West finals, Wemby had his way with the defending champs, finishing with 41 points, 24 rebounds and three blocks in the Spurs’ win. SGA rebounded with a 30-point, nine-assist effort in Game 2, helping OKC tie the series. In Game 3, both finished with 26 points in an OKC win, and in Game 4, Wemby had 33 points, eight rebounds and 3 blocks in a Spurs win. In short, whichever team wins this series, its superstar will win the award.
Out East: The Knicks have won 10 straight playoff games and have a 3-0 lead in the East finals. Leading the way has been their star guard, Jalen Brunson, and he showed no signs of slowing down in the ECF. His 38 points in Game 1 against the Cavs helped the Knicks overcome a 22-point fourth-quarter deficit and take a 1-0 lead. He also had six assists, five rebounds and three steals. In Game 2, he put up 19 points and 14 assists, and in Game 3, he had 30 points and six assists.
