He was the game&#8217;s leading scorer, but with only 21 points, and he committed eight turnovers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SGA was at his most clutch in the final 2:58 of Game 4, when he scored 11 points to lift OKC to victory. That is the most points by any player in the final three minutes of a Finals win in at least 50 years, according to ESPN Research.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s hit the 30-point, five-assist threshold in 12 of those 22 games. In a single NBA postseason, that&#8217;s the most games with those stats that any player has ever had (LeBron James and Michael Jordan both had 11 such games apiece in previous postseasons).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>From 1970 onward, no Finals MVP recipient has come from the losing team. Interestingly enough, SGA&#8217;s odds to win Finals MVP are even shorter than OKC&#8217;s title odds (-286).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MVP notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A non-SGA Finals MVP winner on the Thunder&#8217;s side might feel impossible &#8230; but it&#8217;s not. Jalen Williams&#8217; odds tightened from +3,000 to +700 after a series-high 40 points in Game 5. They now sit at +900, and a particularly heroic final game could get it down. Williams dropped 40 points in Game 5, so he&#8217;s capable of something special.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Siakam (+350) is the clear frontrunner among Pacers players, especially with Tyrese Haliburton (calf) seemingly limited due to injury. The Pacers spread the love, so Siakam&#8217;s numbers aren&#8217;t eye-popping, but he does lead the squad in scoring (19.8 PPG) and rebounding (8.3 RPG) this series.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Haliburton (+1,300) would have a narrative case on his side, as he battles through what is typically a multi-week calf injury. He&#8217;s also made a bunch of clutch shots this postseason, including the game-winner in Game 1. Haliburton leads the Pacers in with 6.8 APG, and he&#8217;s expected to gut through Game 7 with the title at stake. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the odds-on favourite to win NBA Finals MVP.
