Does Steph have a huge night after winning MVP? What is the value of seeking out props on individual award winners the first game after they receive the award? Seems like guys tend to step up big, but I have no data to back that up. I seem to remember both LeBron and Jordan going off a few times after winning the MVP award. Maybe somebody has a better memory on this or the time to dig up the history on this. I've done some research below, but don't have time for more at the moment.
Recent history:
2015
4/20 - Lou Williams wins 6th man of the year.
4/21 - Williams goes for 20pts, 1reb, 1ast & 3stl in a loss against the Wizards
4/23 - Kawhi Leonard is announced Defensive Player of the Year
4/24 - Leonard goes off for 32pts, 4reb, 1ast, 3stl, 2blk going 3-5 from 3pt in a win vs LAC
2014
5/6 - Kevin Durant is announce MVP
5/7 - Durant goes for 32pts, 12rebs, 9ast, 2stl on 3-9 from 3pt in a W vs LAC
2013
5/4 - League sources confirm rumors that Lebron James will win the 2012-2013 MVP award
5/6 - James officially announced as MVP and goes for 24pts, 8reb, 7ast, 1blk, 2stl in a fairly typical Lebron game where with Heat lose to the Bulls at home 86-93 in Game 1 of the Conference Finals.
So far, I don't see many shops with props up on Curry yet, but I did find these...
Over/Under Pts+Asts 34.5
Over/Under 3pts 3.5 (-165/+130) and 4.5 (+130/-165)
Most books should have player props up within a few hours. I am wondering if anybody has a recent history or has bet on/against any Curry prop in the playoffs this year so we can get an idea as to whether his over/under numbers are a little inflated tonight.
I think this is an interesting proposition that has money-making potential and would welcome discussion and insight from other members.
