The top of the list is reserved for the two-time NBA MVP, Nikola Jokic, who should have received this year’s honors for the best player in the league as well. So far, the Joker has averaged a triple-double in the playoffs, and it’s quite logical that the bookies believe in the Serb.
Jimmy Butler averages 28.5 points per game in the playoffs, and his Heat is in the finals, making history as the first team to go through the play-in tournament and eventually win the conference. Jamal Murray averages 27.7 buckets for the Nuggets and is in the mix as well. Miami’s duo, Martin-Adebayo follows these guys, while Michael Porter Jr. sits at +8000 to win the trophy.
