Last season, he won regular season MVP, Western Conference Finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP. Now he is favorite to complete the trifecta again. He has already won the regular season MVP (back to back) and is favored for WCF MVP and Finals MVP. Nothing seems to be able to stop the Canadian superstar or his team, which swept the first two rounds of the playoffs, fresh off holding the best regular season record for the second straight season. Second on the West odds chart is Wemby, who will be in the Western Conference Finals for the first time, as this is their first-ever playoff appearance. In the East: Outside of OKC, no team has been hotter than the Knicks, who have won seven straight playoff games en route to their second Eastern Conference Finals berth in the last three years. Their star guard, Jalen Brunson, led the way. After averaging 26.3 points and 6.2 assists in the first round against Atlanta, Brunson took it a step further by scoring 29 and 6 against Philly in the second round. Even more impressive, he shot 51.3% from the field and 44.8% from 3 against the Sixers. He rolls. Second on the East odds board is Donovan Mitchell, who averaged 28.1 points and 5.6 rebounds for the Cavs in their second-round win over the top-seeded Pistons.
