NBA Playoff MVP Rankings - Thru Round 1

The first round of the playoffs ended last night without a single series going the full 7 games, and there have been a lot of impressive performances so far. I've gone through all of the numbers in the first round to determine which players are the current leaders in the race to win the Finals MVP award this season, even though the actual award doesn't take the full playoffs into account. Obviously players are only eligible if their team is still alive, so Nikola Jokic, who was the third-best player of the first round, is not on this list, and neither is Brandon Ingram, who came in at #11. Here are the 10 players who had the most impact on their teams advancing past the first round:

Playoff MVP

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo - PF - MIL

28.6 Pts (#4), 13.4 Reb (#2), 6.2 Ast, 0.2 Stl, 1.4 Blk, .568 FG% (#9), .154 3P%, .683 FT%

2. Chris Paul - PG - PHX

22.3 Pts, 4.3 Reb, 11.3 Ast (#1), 1.8 Stl (#3), 0.2 Blk, .567 FG%, .308 3P%, .960 FT% (#3)

21.5 Pts, 8.7 Reb, 10.5 Ast (#2), 1.5 Stl, 0.7 Blk, .386 FG%, .200 3P%, .712 FT%

4. Stephen Curry - PG - GSW

28.0 Pts (#5), 3.4 Reb, 5.4 Ast, 1.6 Stl, 0.4 Blk, .500 FG%, .404 3P%, .744 FT%

5. Jimmy Butler - SF - MIA

30.5 Pts (#2), 7.8 Reb, 5.3 Ast, 2.8 Stl (#1), 0.5 Blk, .543 FG%, .438 3P%, .794 FT%

6. Jayson Tatum - SF - BOS

29.5 Pts (#3), 4.5 Reb, 7.3 Ast (#5), 1.8 Stl, 0.8 Blk, .456 FG%, .419 3P%, .868 FT%

26.2 Pts (#9), 11.3 Reb (#7), 2.3 Ast, 0.3 Stl, 0.8 Blk, .520 FG%, .190 3P%, .831 FT%

10. DeAndre Ayton - C - PHX

20.5 Pts, 9.8 Reb (#9), 2.5 Ast, 0.7 STl, 1.2 Blk, .700 FG% (#2), .500 3P%, .750 FT%

All-Time Player Rank Changes

Chris Paul has passed Russell Westbrook to move up to #17

Stephen Curry has passed Dwyane Wade and Jason Kidd to move up to #21

James Harden has passed Moses Malone to move up to #25

Giannis Antetokounmpo has passed Clyde Drexler, Mark Jackson, and Rajon Rondo to move up to #48

Nikola Jokic has passed Ray Allen, Alonzo Mourning, Terry Porter, Dikembe Mutombo, Louie Dampier, Tracy McGrady, Tim Hardaway, Chris Webber, and Kyrie Irving to move up to #73

Draymond Green has passed Rod Strickland, Cliff Hagan, Walt Frazier, and Ray Allen to move up to #82

Kyle Lowry has a decent chance of reaching the top 100 this postseason, Jrue Holiday has a small chance, and Jimmy Butler and Joel Embiid could maybe make it with a dominant Finals MVP-type performance.

Dallas' blowout of Utah gave them a huge boost and made them the favorite in the series for the first time. Toronto is inching closer to becoming the first team to ever overcome a 3-0 deficit in the NBA, and Phoenix is still struggling to get through their first round series, but is still favored.

Dallas got a huge boost with their win and Phoenix's loss, because they may now end up getting more rest than their next opponent. Miami also made a huge leap with their road win, which pulled down Boston's odds even after the Celtics advanced past Brooklyn.

Phoenix took the biggest hit here, while Miami took most of what the Suns lost. Dallas and Utah switched spots in the lower level of the hierarchy as well.

NBA Playoff Odds - Update after Game 3

Every playoff series has now seen at least 3 games played, meaning that all 16 teams have had a chance to play on their home floor, and there are still 2 series that could end in sweeps, with Boston and Golden State each holding 3-0 leads. There are also 2 series in the West that are tied at 2, and 5 of the series are guaranteed to have at least 2 more games, so there is a lot of basketball left in this round. Here are the updated odds of each team advancing through the playoffs and winning it all, with change from Thursday in parentheses:

Odds of Winning First Round

(2) Celtics - 99.0% (+3.4)

(3) Warriors - 98.4% (+5.2)

(8) Pelicans - 5.4% (-6.6)

(6) Nuggets - 1.6% (-5.2)

(7) Nets - 1.0% (-3.4)

Milwaukee's road blowout of Chicago was huge for them, giving them back home court advantage and deflating the Bulls' confidence in the process. Dallas split with Utah on the road, but still saw a big leap in their odds with 2 of 3 possible games remaining at home.

(2) Celtics - 71.8% (-1.6)

(8) Pelicans - 0.9% (-0.9)

(6) Nuggets - 0.5% (-1.7)

(7) Nets - 0.3% (-1.3)

Phoenix saw the biggest jump here after they took back home court and saw the Jazz and Mavericks guarantee themselves a long series, giving the Suns more time to rest and get healthy assuming they win quickly. The Bucks made the biggest jump in the East, though they still have just the 4th-best odds in the conference.

Odds of Making NBA Finals

(2) Celtics - 48.6% (+0.1)

(7) Nets - 0.0147% (-0.06)

(8) Pelicans - 0.0146% (-0.015)

Phoenix retook the top spot as the favorite to win the title after winning Game 3, while Boston remains the favorite in the East, with Milwaukee the only real contender in the East that saw its odds go up.

NBA Playoff Odds - Update after Game 2

Each series has now gone at least 2 games, with the 76ers/Raptors series already 3 deep, and half of the series are tied at 1-1, which means that home court advantage has switched to the lower seed in a best of 5 series. Here are each team's odds of advancing through the playoffs, with their change since Monday in parentheses:

Odds of Winning First Round

(4) 76ers - 95.9% (+24.3)

(6) Nuggets - 6.8% (-7.8)

(7) Nets - 4.4% (-4.4)

(5) Raptors - 4.1% (-24.3)

Philly's extra game made their odds shoot up faster than the rest, Chicago's upset road win was the biggest single win, though Memphis' bounceback wasn't far behind. Higher seeds are still favored to win in every series but one.

(2) Celtics - 73.4% (+6.5)

(1) Suns - 59.1% (-5.3)

(8) Pelicans - 0.03% (+0.022)

Phoenix is no longer the favorite to win the title, though a road win tomorrow could possibly swing it back in their favor. My pick to win the East is still looking strong, with Boston taking the top overall odds for now.

NBA Playoff Odds - Update after Game 1

Each playoff series had its first game this weekend, and even though it's only one game, it made a huge difference for some teams as far as their odds of advancing go. Being up 1-0 means that you only have to win half of the games for the rest of the series to advance, while the team who is down now needs to win 2/3 of their games. Here are each team's current odds, with change from pre-playoff odds in parentheses:

Odds of Winning First Round

(1) Suns - 96.7% (+2.6)

(2) Celtics - 91.2% (+5.0)

(3) Bucks - 86.1% (+8.3)

(3) Warriors - 85.4% (+10.0)

(6) Bulls - 13.9% (-8.3)

(7) Nets - 8.8% (-5.0)

(8) Pelicans - 3.3% (-2.6)

Minnesota's upset of the Grizzlies had the biggest impact, making the series a virtual toss-up, while the rest of the series openers, all won by favorites, impacted the odds more in series that were projected to be close.

Odds of Making Conference Finals

(2) Celtics - 66.9% (+1.9)

(1) Suns - 64.4% (-0.3)

(3) Warriors - 53.6% (+10.7)

(7) Nets - 2.9% (-1.9)

(6) Bulls - 1.8% (-1.4)

(8) Pelicans - 0.4% (-0.4)

The Warriors had the best weekend here, partially because of their strong win, but also because Memphis' loss gives them a better chance at home court in the next round.

Odds of Making NBA Finals

(2) Celtics - 45.5% (-0.7)

(1) Suns - 44.5% (-0.1)

(1) Heat - 23.8% (+4.1)

(7) Nets - 0.8% (-0.7)

(6) Bulls - 0.4% (-0.4)

(8) Pelicans - 0.1% (+0.0)

The Heat looked strong in their opener, which helped them move a bit closer to the leaders in odds of making the Finals, just like the Warriors in the West.

(7) Nets - 0.1% (-0.2)

(6) Bulls - 0.05% (-0.05)

(8) Pelicans - 0.008% (-0.012)

Utah made a big move here by winning on the road in Game 1, stealing away home court advantage, but they were already better than their seed and finally played like it.
