The Golden State Warriors may be on the verge of a threepeat but Caesars sportsbook believes that on a personal level, Steph Curry is about to break new ground.
The sportsbook has established the Golden State guard as the -150 odds-on chalk to be named MVP of the 2019 NBA Finals.

To note, Steph Curry has never won this award.
Forward Kevin Durant won the NBA Finals MVP honors in both 2017 and 2018.
When the Warriors won the title in 2015 forward/guard Andre Iguodala was presented with the NBA Finals MVP.
The availability of both Iguodala (calf) and Durant (calf) is uncertain for Game 1. Durant is not expected to play, while Iguodala is listed as probable.
Minus Durant for the entire series, Curry went off. He never scored fewer than 36 points per game in the sweep of Portland, averaging 36.5 points per game. Curry also buried 33 points in the second-round clincher against the Houston Rockets, including 23 fourth-quarter points.
This could be Curry’s year.
