00:00We understand the players in this series of who can win the MVP starting the series and who can

00:05win it now. Is it any surprise that Oklahoma City has a favorite in this series and it's

00:09Shea Gilgis Alexander at minus 550? But here's the interesting point about the MVP. Look at Jalen

00:14Williams now at a seven to one price. It's legitimate now. This guy's playing good basketball,

00:19but you still have to go over the stigma. Like yes, all the way through SGA, best team in the

01:23or something in game number six to win it. My question, Donnie, is that is there if the Pacers

01:29do the unthinkable? And by the way, this not to go to a game seven, you're saying the Pacers are going

01:36to lose three games straight, which they have not done in months. So is that really if this thing goes

01:42to a game seven, it's anybody's ballgame? Does the losing team, if it's OKC, still get the MVP?
