00:03 When you look at the odds to win the Eastern Conference Finals MVP,
00:07 named after Larry Bird, the Celtics really are the front of this table.
00:12 Jason Tatum, hefty favorite, minus 220.
00:15 Jalen Brown, plus 350.
00:17 If you believe the Celtics are going to win this series,
00:20 maybe doing so in as little as five games,
00:24 who would be your bet to win the Eastern Conference Finals MVP award?
00:28 It's going to be Jason Tatum, but I can't bet that at minus 220.
00:32 I don't see the value with it, Ben.
00:35 This is a spot where Jason Tatum should step up and do it.
00:38 Now, when you look at defensively, who's going to guard him?
00:41 It's probably going to be Pascal Siakam,
00:43 but Siakam's going to have to worry about scoring because you figure Naismith,
00:46 because of how he played on Brunswick, probably goes on to Jalen Brown.
00:49 So I think that's where you kind of look at it.
00:51 So it's Tatum to me, but I can't bet that.
00:54 To me, when you start looking at the market, where do you want to go?
00:57 You've got to start looking at some of the props.
00:59 For instance, to me, most threes made, I like Derek White at plus 170.
01:04 Why? Just look at what Dante DiVincenzo did in the last series.
01:09 I think he's going to have the shot volume.
01:11 I think you're going to put Halliburton on him.
01:13 Halliburton falls asleep defensively at times, and Derek White can get loose.
01:17 Derek White at plus 170 to lead this series in three-pointers made.
