Thus far, I believe that Klay Thompson is the most consistent on the big 3 of the Warriors. The defense was obviously focused on Curry and that will make Thompson open because he is always the first option if Curry would passed, as a result, he will generate more points easily.

So I see the odds, and it's 51, IMO, that's very tempting.

The question is, is it worth taking it?

If you can take the risk then do it, just take those bet for fun and if you are lucky enough to hit what you think might happen on the series and GSW will be the lucky this year to became a champion then Klay will be the MVP you will be lucky to gain for trying to bet on him.

Although the odds is tempting I will not bet on this option and will put my bet on individual games also the whole series on finals.

Given that the Warriors will win the championship, you have a big chance to win your bet as it will only be between Curry and Thompson who will be chosen as the MVP. With that 51.00 odds is very sweet especially if you will put a decent amount, a $100 for example would already give you a $5,100.

Klay is good in offensive and defensive but I don't think he will going to be the Finals MVP it's stull Curry even though the defense will focus on Curry there's no way he would not score but for 51 it's not bad to place even a small amount, we are not sure but it is still possible.

The basis is usually on the impact of the team on their win and that 51 is very attractive.

Still remember this?

 Andre Iguodala was 125-1 to win NBA Finals MVP and now is the favorite (https://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/06/andre-iguodala-nba-finals-mvp-odds-steph-curry-lebron-james)

And he actually won the Finals MVP because he did a great job on Lebron.

I mean if you are taking a long shot why not.  Golden state has just as good of a chance of making the finals and like you said klay has been good to date.  A small bet to make it fun wouldn't be so bad.  Most long shot props are dead money but it's fun to have a long term bet in place so why not.

51 is really tempting and Klay is a superstar and there's really a chance that he can be a finals MVP but just like what wheelz said a small bet for fun wouldn't hurt and in case you win I think you can win a good amount maybe $50 or $20 wouldn't hurt so bad.

I'm not really sure how it works in basketball but aren't these things voted upon by their peers, journos and some people within the organization with some pull?  I don't think it's all about the numbers they produce in the matches or the stats.  It's all about optics.  Is the Klay Thompson guy written by the journos as some sort of 'hero'?  Does he look like he's the center of attention when he plays?

And remember, the books are sharp.  They have a lot more access to a lot more info than any of us.  It's a fun bet but don't expect too much.  Drop 10 bucks and hope for the best.

That's actually a good question, what's the criteria for to become Finals MVP? Was it how much they have made for the team in terms of points, blocks, etc. or through voting? Klay could be the finals MVP, Stephen Curry or anyone as long as they reach the finals. I think we're too far from the finals that's why the odds is 51.

true, much better to bet what amount you can afford to lose because even we all knows that he is a superstar there still a chance that somebody will overtake to take the crown. And yes i have doubts on jordan poole because every game he drops a high score and his performance is getting better as well, where in, it's like he is the stephen curry version 2 :D. That's why for me it's too hard to tell who will become MVP.

I'd toss in $10 bucks, and if it hits it's still $510. Thompson is a good all-rounder for a basketball player. He's got good defense, can score on the paint, and can even create a play for his teammates. The thing is, everyone is always focused on Curry that they are losing a lot on their team that can also do as much as Curry can, if proper support is also given to them.

Also, even with the Warriors having the big 3, you still have the Celtics, Suns, and Heat that can still contend the championship. Lots of possible obstacles before we can even crown the MVP to Thompson.

Nope there's chance for Klay to became the Finals MVP  since for sure the team who will face them on finals will focus their defense on him so provably this one will open up some doors to his other teammates to provide more quality numbers and snatch that title.

As @Japinat says remember Iguodala became a finals MVP on their line up so I guess this has a chance to happen also since many team will adjust and make the life of Curry hard on finals so I guess as klay star he will be the next option in offensive as well on defensive ends.

Just follow what you believed will happen. No suggestions, analysis, or advice can really help you decide even with the help of an NBA professional analyst.

You will only know the worth of your risks if it will happen.

We are just about to see the second round of the playoffs. Lots of things can still happen. We don't even know if the Golden State Warriors can reach the Finals even if they are about to dominate the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs.

I agree, just do what you think is going to happen. A lot of contenders out there and with probably higher odds. But before doing it, look for some stats and have your basis.
So that this would have a basis and you're not going to regret if you cast your bet for him as the finals mvp for this season.

Even in the previous match both Curry and Thompson had a close point count. Curry have taken 33 points and Thompson have taken 32 points. Both were the most valuable players of the team and this confirms there is increased chance of winning the bet. For such a close competence having odds @51 is really big. Atleast for this reason tomorrow's match needs to be watched.

Not tempting for me friend.  I'm not sure I'd even be interested at 200:1 odds.  If the Warriors do make the Finals, you have to assume that it's on Stephen Curry's back and he'll be the one getting the MVP.  It would take an awful lot from Klay over the entire series for him to squeak out the honors over Steph.  Not to mention we're still only in the first round.  There's a good chance the Warriors won't even make the Finals (although I think they will).  There's also a chance Klay could get injured.  You have to remember he is fresh off of an injury and besides not being probably 100% back to his old self, he's got to be thinking he needs to stay healthy in the back of his mind.  

I haven't looked at the odds, but I think Giannis has to be the favorite at this point.

Let's say Golden State Warriors will reach the Finals, it will be a tough choice on who's to bet there as a Finals MVP as there are lots of guys contributing there. For example, Jordan Poole is playing much the same stats as Klay Thompson right now. There will be lots of happenings in the Finals and more people stepping up.

And just to remind OP, that odds will be changed from time to time that's why you need to act and place your bet now.

As to my own opinion, sorry but I didn't see the Warriors will win the championship.

Lets attached up some link to that
https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/andre-iguodala-addresses-steph-currys-nba-finals-mvp-case

No one had really anticipate nor expect for Igoudala to take that MVP in 2015.So it isnt really that bad
to put up on 51 which is really that tempting i would say.

It looks worth it at first glance but I don't think it'll hit even though Klay is putting up a lot of points for the team it's still tough to have too much confidence in Klay to get the MVP since he could suddenly go cold during the finals. He'd have a solid chance for sure but from my view there are too many factors that could easily put a player above the rest of the team. If i'd plan to bet on him i'll probably go for half a unit and just hope he pops off and hit crucial shots when it matters.

This is a pretty decent odd on Thompson, so far he is carrying the Warriors in the playoffs against the Nuggets. But still i think if they win the NBA Curry might win the MVP but who knows. Both of the players are currently at the same level,plus in the last game Thompson was the best player at the Warriors team

I understand your logic and if Warriors win then Klay may be better option than Steph. As you know although he had three rings Steph still has no finals MVP. Finals are way different than regular season and play-off games.
I wouldn't bet on it because I don't think Warriors can win the league, I don't even think they can easily go to finals. But if they make it to finals Klay would be my first choice as well. There is also injury risk as other pointed out. I know odds are tempting but you shouldn't put too much on it. You do know it's a long shot.

Bet with a small amount. Klay is reliably there when defense is heavily focused on Curry which is expected. This could boost Klay's significance in the Warrior's wins, but I don't think this is enough for Klay to win the MVP. In the first place it is not yet a guarantee that the Warriors would even reach the finals. There's still a long way to go. And while Klay's game is not that prone to another injury or triggering his old injury his movements will definitely be taking into consideration that he has to be there in the rest of the vital games for the Warriors and so he has to be careful and look after himself.

Is this odds is for Finals MVP? That bet is pretty solid but of course very risky. It’s worth it to place a few bucks on it just for fun since Klay is indeed has the potential to beat Curry as finals MVP if they manage to beat all the powerhouse teams. Imo, just do a multiple bet and manage the bet amount in proportion to it’s odds so that you can manage the risk of your bets.

Its worth taking, just think of it that you an amount that you can afford to lose say like $20 or $100, just imagine how much money you get from it if Klay is declared MVP. Its not risky for a small amount. Where do you see that @51 where we can bet BTC?

I'd also like to see if Jordan Poole is also among the option. Its more interesting to see this rookie to have possibility.

Who knows what happens in the Finals.
If in case the Warriors will advance to the finals this year, Klay will always have a shot for the finals MVP. Just like what the OP is basing his prediction, Klay is the only person who consistently score among all the GSW players.
Curry will going to be the focus of the defense, but we all know he can always create his own shot. So, yeah this goes down to Curry and Thompson.
However, the finals is still a long way ahead and the offer is good enough to place a bet on. So, why not?

@OP go place a bet on it and trust your bet. Nobody's sure about anything anyway.

I had the Nets taking the championship down, was confident we would see either Kyrie or Durant taking home the MVP trophy. Now, and of course I’ll probably be wrong again lol, but I definitely see the Warriors taking it down now..so I think we could easily see either Curry or Thompson. 

Why not take Curry and Thompson as your Finals MVP?

You have KT @51 while you can also get Curry at 5.00, either player wins the award, you'll be profitable.
BTW, as of now, the odds for KT winning the Finals MVP have change to 41.

Looks like it is not bad to place even a small amount, we may not know maybe he can really hit it off. May I ask what gambling site you are using to place that bet, I can't find it with the gambling site that I currently using at the moment I am using Betja but I can't find it on their sports betting.

The Warriors are my favorites in winning the championship right now. I believe that their offensive power can beat the Suns even though they have Booker.

This might be an odd prediction coming for me but I think if the Warriors will go into NBA Finals and win it, I will add Poole in the list of possible NBA Finals MVP aside from Curry and Thompson. We can add him in the discussion just by seeing how he is playing in his first games in the playoffs. If he will be a consistent scorer until the NBA Finals, I think Poole can win it TBH.

I still remember the time in 2015 where people are focusing on Curry and Thompson in winning the Finals MVP but Iggy got it. It might happen again this time with Poole but to the OP, if you have some spare money then you can risk it and bet on Thompson in winning it. They have a chance just by seeing how good they are offensively.

Yeah. A small bet won't hurt. Klay Thompson is down to 41 at Sportsbet. Probably because Atlanta just got eliminated today. And star players from Minnesota will also depreciate their chances of winning as they were one game away from elimination. Chicago without LaVine will most likely get eliminated too barring their players from contending finals mvp.

The most important player is klay I agree because without him there is no threat for defenses to guard the warriors even though is already with steph and poole but klay adds to it because he gets the release so fast and can make clutch shots when it matters the most.

I also believe that Klay would be the best option because he did the best defense for the Warriors this season and as for me, betting such an amount is worth taking. I hope that they would consider his efforts this time and I'm also hoping that the Warriors could make it to the finals.

That's what likely is going to happen. As they approach to their last win, I guess that odd for Klay will go down for more. And the same goes for Chicago.
Not that much pressure for the Bucks and they're going to head next versus Boston. I guess that's where the harder part and more exciting than the current match ups.

As others said, it is a long shot but Andre won the finals MVP years ago.

However, I think this is one achievement that Curry didn't have. So I guess he will do everything to get this one this year if ever they won the championship. So I will still go with Curry as my first option to bet as finals MVP, (on offense to Klay's fans).

Considering that it's not impossible for Klay to win the finals MVP, that odd for him really attracting readers here. Who knows? He will bring his momentum till the finals, in case they will win the title, both he and Curry can do the damage plus Poole if he will keep shooting and driving the ball.

It's still early, and the finals is still far to take place,changes with teams that will move to the semis still not completed, plus the second round will be very crucial, it's more on how can you take the risk in this kind of bet.

Why not? even at @41, that is a great odds for Klay to win. Just a small bet wouldn't hurt you and who knows, this might turn out to be one of the best series for Klay since this is his comeback year and it could be a cinderella story for him.

Curry doesn't mine not winning the MVP as long as the Warriors are going to win the NBA title, he has proven it with Iggy and then Durant.

Honestly Devin Booker looks like a better bet for sure. Not only he is a great player, and injured right now but resting so he will make a comeback better, but he is playing for the team with the best record in the league as well.

I am not saying that he will end up winning it, but 9.50 odds for the best player in the best team of the season is nothing short of wonderful. Remember, finals mvp is not given to the best player in the league, that is the MVP and given during regular season. What we are talking about is the best player in the team that won the league and Suns looks like they are the best team if we look at the records of the teams.

As we do go neared for Finals then expect that numbers or odds would really changed up but it isnt really bad to put with some amounts considering that odds on winning is really that plausible if we do see
the overall performance of Klay and also ive been eyeing with other ones too which does have considerable odds for me to put up some amounts too.
Actually its hard to choose as of this moment but obviously majority will be eyeing for Curry.

Warriors have nothing to prove with Iggy and Durant, they are playing their best right now and let’s credit them for that.

Anyway, that’s a good odds for Klay considering that he came from a long vacation due to his injury and now prove that he is still worthy and can still play the game he used to have. I can take that risk for Klay, but other players are also aiming for that MVP title, this can be a risky bet.

Instead of reading the analysis before deciding, come on, OP just place your bet regardless of the outcome.

While the series match is about to end this 1st round of the playoffs, expect a much lower odds while the Golden State Warriors continue to move forward since once a team is being eliminated, the list will remove those names at those losing teams obviously.

OP started this thread @51, yesterday, @41, and if the Warriors will end the series later, I think it will go down Klay's odds will be lowered @30 as some guys in the Denver Nuggets will be removed at NBA Finals MVP bet. Take note also that Chicago Bulls might be exiting later on resulting for their players to also be removed in the MVP choices.

The question about being worth it is not a question. The question is, do you really think that Klay Thompson has the chance in getting the Finals MVP?  You need to trust your bet since we don't have any reference to look at to somehow increase the chance of it from happening.

Lots of factors to consider before Klay can be a candidate for Finals MVP:

- Golden State Warriors obviously should make the Finals first.
- There are lots of gunners in the Golden State Warriors that are also worthy to become a Finals MVP.
- Choosing the Finals MVP is only for the Finals game. Even Klay becomes a monster in the playoffs, that won't count when choosing the Finals MVP.
- Igoudala, even not the main scorer got the MVP Finals before because not just in points, but he also has a great contribution on other stats during the Finals, compare to Steph Curry who mostly, had his big production was on the part of scoring.

But before that, they need to dispose the Nuggets first. Right now, the Nuggets are competing very well compared to the last two games, looks like they already know how to minimize the production of the Warriors as they only both scored 48 in the first half.

@OP, trust your instinct, besides, you don't have to put a lot of money with that kind of odds, just do it for fun and enjoy the winning in case you are right, but if you lose, for sure you can easiy accept it.

I would put 20 dollars or in, just to be sure, the odds are great and the ball is round, anything could happen in the court. You have a good reason to bet on Thompson, I think it is a good offer. However my option is Curry, even though he will be heavily guarded, he can manage it somehow.

Good luck, but please check the present odds because it dropped a bit, if you were able to get them when I posted it, you might enjoy a higher odds but of course it's still very attractive. The last game of the Warriors in the round 1 looks Curry is going to win the Finals MVP if the Warriors will be champ, but who knows, right?

We know the complexity of the gameplay of Klay and Curry and since they make a champion and also their lineup is so good and makes good chemistry right now and many people still support and trust their team but currently, their behaviour got changed after they got a good spot in the world of NBA well its part of it. From this it is still an ideal to make trust with the GSW team and I'm a fan too so I still support no matter what happens in the game.

They are indeed good duo and with Green as their defensive player I really think they can win the finals but we are not sure who are going to be the finals MVP this year since Curry might get slowed down since he is one of the top scorer and other teams would do all that they can do to stop him.

He slowly recovered from that injury, and in the last night's win against the Nuggets, it was Curry who lead the team with 29 points, and he had a decent shooting night at 10-22.  Curry is back, and Thompson is improving, it's all that is needed for the warriors to be a scary team.

Well, I'm not sure as well.
But even that, many were too close to see Curry become MVP if they reach the finals. And I'm not certain if they will just base on the points generated upon proclaiming who will be the MVP. However, this may not cause disappointment to whether which among the two will get the reward as their goal is to win the finals as a team, not an individual goal.

Curry have made the most points and it looks like the attractive odd is lost. There is a big difference in the points between Thompson and Curry and this makes Curry to be the MVP. Such high odds are very rare with this games and better luck next time. The match winning have happened out of a small difference 102 - 98.

It wont be basing on points made for sure.
HEre are some points about on how MVP is chosen.

To be considered for MVP, a player must demonstrate a high level of personal achievement, as well as team leadership and flashes of brilliance. As long as we keep discussing who the MVP is, the NBA will never give us a clear definition or set of criteria for the award. Every evaluator grades based on their own criteria. This is made easier as there are usually only a few candidates who make a strong case for the prize each season.

It's based somewhat on the performance for the playoff series. And that time, Iggy was really playing very good that's why he won the MVP. And then Durant, we all know that Durant of pre-injury with the Warriors, he is the one who carry the load, remember those dagger 3's he shot against the Cavs? But now it seems that maybe Curry will get his finals MVP nod if the Warriors won this year. Curry at 5.00 odds currently, this is still very attractive.

After a not-so-impressive performance by Klay Thompson in the close-out game against the Nuggets, I saw that odds was back to @51, but it's now back to @41.. Warriors has no game yet, maybe you can see that odds adjusted again and if you are brave, just take it.

BTW, have you ever thought of taking the odds of Giannis? Just in case the Bucks will win a back to back championship, for sure Giannis will win again.

I honestly think that it's a good offer.

Yes, it is a very unlikely event to occur, which is why the odds are so attractive.

And it's not like we haven't seen another Warriors get this award before for (arguably) being a much lesser contributor than Klay before - Iguodala won this prize previously. The odds of the Warriors making the finals aren't too shabby either.

Yes, it's going to be Giannis again at a high chance but looks like OP is not a fan of taking low odds. Since Giannis is expected to be the MVP for this in case they will win the championship, don't expect high odds for him. It's really difficult to choose who's probably the Finals MVP since lots of teams deserve to be in the Finals and the competition is close looking at all teams that made the second round of the playoffs.

Let's just follow our own decision since that's the only thing we can rely on. Even an NBA analyst will have a hard time analyzing who's gonna be the Finals MVP.

But for sure, Klay Thompson @51 is a good choice if anyone believes that he can get it.

Gambling is risky as we all Knew that right? so since Klay Thompson is one of the most consistent for this player that may take the MVP this season?

I think if the amount you are going to bet is just spare then why not?

But it is not Klay that I wanna choose , instead the other one that also in the top choices.

Odds remained the same at 41 for Klay Thompson to snatch this year's Finals MVP. Jordan Poole is in a better position after being more consistent and the guy is not just a pure scorer but is also dropping dimes too. There will be major changes tomorrow once a team goes down and up at 0-2 and 2-0 respectively.

41 still looks good odds for me and it wasn't bad to test your luck by placing some amounts here, you are right Jordan Poole is dropping good points and good performance too and it is possible that he might get the MVP too.

Curry is the most possible among them. Its only fun see options which a bettor could earn more than 10x like Poole and Klay although they are valuable players of the team, I think they have less than 50% chance of becoming MVP. Jordan Poole though could be the next star, if Curry is not in the GSW, he might just be the top card of the team and perhaps an MVP.

Klay missed some free throw recently. Kinda something that made the odd down to @41. You think?

There are some suggestions that I think you should consider before taking and betting on Thompson and Curry, their match can be said to be head-to-head.
First:
You should look at their Stats this season for the Warriors, for example the average points Thompson has earned and how many seasons they have played, also for Curry.
Second:
The MVP award they get and the most, also you have to look at their points and career during the game and who often wins.

First and second questions, I think it's important for judgment before you take and determine victory, if Klay Thompson has the best points in basketball and vice versa Stephen Curry.

If you've seen as I said, just take those 51 points, and make your choice.

Don't really know what you are getting at but how many seasons they've played and theor stats in season have no bearing on finals mvp.  One Warriors have to make it and then second it's basically the best player during that week/s.  The question is if 51-1 is a long shot someone is comfortable with because chances are highly unlikely klay will hoist the mvp

I beg to disagree- while Klay Thompson might be one of the solid foundation of the Warriors ever since, I think Jordan Poole deserves an outstanding consideration and reward for his consistency and clutch plays.

In the first game between the Warriors vs Memphis, Poole scored 31points while also being very effective on the field. Even during the recovery phase of Klay, Poole showed his true talent and potential where he can actually dish out insane range and ball handling techniques which proved effective in the long-run. I guess Poole deserves a higher spot than Klay this season.

Poole is 25-1 odds to win the mvp for the finals so he is being bet on like he will win it more than klay.  It's all about odds and if they are "worth" it.  50-1 is outdated I think klay is coming in at around 30-1 now that golden states odds to win the chip has gotten better as well.

Klay is now 41-1, while Poole is 31-1. Maybe it has move up since they lose in game 2 and both players does not have a good performance.
In game 2, Thompson had a bad shooting night, he only had 12 points from 5-19 shooting, while  Poole has 20 points with 50% shooting.

If Warriors will win game 3, maybe that odds will drop again.

And logically if they lose that odd will increase again, Klay did not have a good game last game 2. He needs to work it out again and help Steph to win another game; they are still the favorite to win this series and a possible final appearance again for the Warriors. The chance still open for Klay to win the finals MVP, though still far, but while they are still campaigning for the finals birth, this odd will continue to adjust.

Of course it will adjust, but if you believe that Klay will win the Finals MVP, now is the right time to take this very attractive odds. Game 3, it will be warriors that will likely to win and since Warriors are back at their home court, expect a good shooting from Klay.

I agree, the odds this time is somehow pretty because of what happened to him on the Game 2 but that's just a bad night for Klay Thompson and he will definitely bounce back this time around especially that they will be playing on their own homecourt where almost all of them are really that confident to shoot. I'm seeing an unstoppable duo on Game 3 ;)

We will see, and hopefully he can get back into his old shooting form, because in game 2, he didn't have a good game and I would say that it is one factor why they have lost.

So it's time for him to recover from that game, his odds to win the MVP is still @51.00. I don't think we will have a higher odds and I think this will be the max that we will see from the bookies.
