Devin Booker Finals MVP Odds

This NBA Finals series took on new life when the Bucks won back-to-back games at home and evened the series at 2-2. In Game 3, it was all about shutting down the Suns' leading scorer in Booker. Milwaukee held Booker to just 10 points in Game 3 and his odds sat at a measly +1600.

Then, Booker went off for 42 points on 17-for-28 shooting from the field in Game 4 despite not recording a single three-pointer. Now, with the series all tied up, Booker owns +240 odds to hoist the MVP hardware. Paul sits slightly ahead with +170 odds while Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo owns the best odds at +110.

Booker's scoring outburst in Game 4 was historic as well. Booker (542) passed Rick Barry (521) for the most points scored in a player’s first NBA Playoffs.

The 24-year-old shooting guard will look to continue his impressive scoring streak at home in Game 5. Phoenix enters Game 5 as 4-point favorites to take a 3-2 series lead.
