Celtics Throttle 76ers To Even Series In Game 2

<p>The NBA&#8217;s Eastern Conference is filled with massive stars, and there&#8217;s definite value on the board to win Eastern Conference Finals MVP.</p>
<p>With that, which players have the best odds of taking the hardware on the <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nba?tab=nba-finals">FanDuel Sportsbook</a>?</p>
<h3><strong>1. Jayson Tatum +120 (Last week: +130)</strong></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nba/players/jayson-tatum">Jayson Tatum</a> is still the odds-on favorite to win Eastern Conference Finals MVP after the Boston Celtics split Games 1 and 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers at home. Tatum has seen his odds slightly bet down to win the award from +130 to +120. </p>
<h3><strong>2. Jaylen Brown +470 (Last week: +490)</strong></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nba/players/jaylen-brown">Jaylen Brown</a> is also a strong competitor to win the award, factoring in that the Celtics are favorites to win the NBA title. Brown had another strong shooting performance in Game 2 against Philly, dropping 25 points in 30 minutes of action, leading to his odds rising from +490 to +470. </p>
<h3><strong>3. Joel Embiid +500 (Last week: +400)</strong></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nba/players/joel-embiid">Joel Embiid</a> and the Philadelphia 76ers are right there as legitimate threats in the Eastern Conference. The 2022-23 NBA MVP returned for Game 2 against the Celtics but only played 27 minutes in the blowout loss. Embiid has seen his odds drop from +400 to +500 to win ECF MVP. </p>
<h3><strong>4. Jimmy Butler +800 (Last week: +900)</strong></h3>
<p>Miami Heat superstar <a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nba/players/jimmy-butler">Jimmy Butler</a> has been one of the top stories of the NBA postseason. Butler missed Game 2 against the New York Knicks but is expected to be back in short order. As a result, he&#8217;s seen his odds bet down from +900 to +800. </p>
<h3><strong>5. James Harden +1000 (Last week: +2400)</strong></h3>
<p>Philadelphia 76ers guard <a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nba/players/james-harden">James Harden</a> showed how impactful he can be in Game 1 against the Celtics, dropping 45 points in the victory. Game 2 was a different story, and he tallied just 12 points, but Harden has still generated some big line movement, rising from +2400 to +1000. </p>
<h3><strong>6. Jalen Brunson +1300 (Last week: +1000)</strong></h3>
<p>After a dominant debut year with the New York Knicks, <a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nba/players/jalen-brunson">Jalen Brunson</a> has continued to take his game to the next level in the postseason. Brunson led the Knicks with 30 points in their Game 2 win over Miami but has seen his odds tail off from +1000 to +1300. </p>
<h3><strong>7. Julius Randle +2000 (Last week: +1600)</strong></h3>
<p>Brunson&#8217;s teammate, <a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nba/players/julius-randle">Julius Randle</a>, is also a legitimate threat in the race to win Eastern Conference Finals MVP. Randle put together a strong double-double in Game 2 against Miami, dropping 25 points and 12 rebounds, but his odds still dropped from +1600 to +2000, factoring that he also missed Game 1. </p>
<h3><strong>8. Malcolm Brogdon +5500 (Last week: +5500)</strong></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nba/players/malcolm-brogdon">Malcolm Brogdon</a> has found himself in the top ten but hasn&#8217;t registered any line movement over the last week, where he continues to reside at +5500 as a longshot. </p>
<h3><strong>9. Tyrese Maxey +9000 (Last week: +5500) </strong></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nba/players/tyrese-maxey">Tyrese Maxey</a> has seen his odds to win Eastern Conference Finals MVP nearly double, dropping from +5500 to +9000. Maxey has tallied 39 points through two games in the second round against the C&#8217;s. </p>
<h3><strong>10. Bam Adebayo +9500 (Last week: +10000)</strong></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nba/players/bam-adebayo">Bam Adebayo</a> plays a vital role for the Miami Heat in their frontcourt and has been strong defensively while chipping in points. He&#8217;s still a massive longshot to win ECF MVP but has risen from +10000 to +9500 over the last week. </p>
