Anthony Edwards, Luka Doncic Favored to Win Western Conference Finals MVP
Oddsmakers aren’t giving much credence to anybody but Edwards or Doncic winning MVP of this series.
The two stars have been the catalyst for each team’s success, even if other players have had a big hand in it, and oddsmakers have tied those two players' odds to win WCF MVP nearly directly to the team’s to advance out of this round.
Edwards is predictably the odds-on favorite as the Timberwolves are a modest favorite to advance with home-court advantage while Doncic is the second choice as the Mavericks look to make the NBA Finals for the first time since 2011.
Meanwhile, no other player has odds shorter than +1400 (Towns), as the idea is that whichever team advances will be due mainly in part to the play of either young superstar.
