5).Jaylen Brown was named the Eastern Conference Finals MVP. His clutch 3 point shot at the end of regulation forced overtime in Game One. He led the Celtics in scoring in two of the 4 games and played exceptional defense.
6).The money is on the Mavericks plus the points in Game One 61% of the money is on them.
7).The money on the total has a consensus of it going over. The percentage is now at 74%.
8).Jayson Tatum has a tendency to not perform at a high level in the Finals. He averages 21.5 points in the Finals. He averaged 26 during the season.
