JIMMY BUTLER STATS PLAYOFFS SERIES

Jokic has the highest chance to win MVP thanks to his team’s odds to win the series and his ability to do everything on the floor with such a high success rate. Murray played arguably the best basketball of his career in the Western Conference finals as he averaged 32.5 points per contest while shooting 52.7% from the field and 40.5% from downtown. During the 2023 postseason, the Kentucky product has averaged 27.7 points per game along with 5.5 rebounds and 6.1 assists. The point guard has truly bounced back to top form after tearing his ACL in 2021. The 33-year-old seems to also shift into a different gear when it comes to the postseason.

Butler has now led the Heat to two finals appearances since joining the organization in 2019 (lost in six games to the Lakers in 2020).īutler stayed true to his word when it mattered most in game 7 on hostile ground after guaranteeing Miami would win the series. The Eastern Conference Finals MVP lifted the Larry Bird Trophy after defeating the second-seeded Celtics Monday night thanks to a game-high 28-points along with seven boards, six assists and three steals. Should the Nuggets win the series, Jokic would surely win the award unless his teammate Jamal Murray can put on an astronomical performance. On the road, the 28-year-old is putting up a ridiculous 33.1 points while shooting 59.1% including a beyond-the-arc clip of 51.7%. Assists: 10.3 (First among all players).When the playoffs arrived, the Serbian elevated his game even higher by averaging a triple-double. The 20 regular season MVP award winner, Jokic, made a case for himself this campaign as he averaged nearly a triple-double with 24.5 points, 11.8 rebounds (2nd in the NBA) and 9.8 assists (3rd), all while shooting 63.2% from the floor (8th). Since the Finals MVP award started in 1969, only one player from the losing team in the series (Jerry West, 1969) has won. The Nuggets are heavy favorites at 5/19 (-380) to win the title which is one of the reasons why Jokic is so heavily favored. Jokic, Butler and Murray are the top three favorites on sportsbooks to lift the Bill Russell Trophy.
