In the Finals MVP race, Gilgeous-Alexander is -550 to win Finals MVP with Jalen Williams, fresh off a 40-point performance in Game 5, moving into the second spot at +650. Pascal Siakam dropped from +850 to +1100 and Tyrese Haliburton suffered the largest drop from +900 to +5000 while dealing with a calf injury.
