Tatum's odds to win the Larry Bird Trophy were as short as -2100 late into Game 4 of the Celtics' East finals win over the Pacers.
When the Boston Celtics took a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals against the Indiana Pacers, the most compelling wager for most bettors became who would win the Larry Bird Trophy for MVP of the series. Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were the frontrunners to win the award for much of the series, with Brown ultimately won the Larry Bird Trophy following Boston's sweep of Indiana on Monday — but it wound up being a tough beat for those who had tickets on Tatum to win it.
Tatum had a solid showing in the fourth quarter, as he helped Boston come back from another late deficit, scoring seven points with five rebounds, two assists and a steal in the final frame. But offensively, Brown took over in the final minutes of Game 4. He scored 10 points on 3-of-6 shooting in the fourth quarter before blocking Andrew Nembhard's layup as the game was tied with 1:05 remaining.
