WATCH: 2021 Conn Smythe Trophy value picks

SportsGrid looks at the best value bets to win the 2021 Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens play Game 3 of the 2021 Stanley Cup Final Friday. The odds to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as Stanley Cup Playoffs MVP are tightening up with a clear favorite in Lightning G Andrei Vasilevskiy. Let’s dive into the 2021 Conn Smythe Trophy odds with a look at SportsGrid’s value picks.

As the Lightning hold a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final, Vasilevskiy is a commanding favorite by the odds for the Conn Smythe Trophy. Teammates RW Nikita Kucherov and C Brayden Point follow behind, and Tampa Bay rosters five of the top-six betting favorites.

Are there values a little further down the board with only two games played thus far?

WATCH: Atlanta Hawks at Milwaukee Bucks Game 5 betting preview

SportsGrid previews Game 5 of the NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals between the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks.

The Atlanta Hawks evened up the NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals with the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday and the two sides will clash in Game 5 at Fiserv Forum Thursday. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET. Let’s dive into SportsGrid’s Hawks-Bucks Game 5 matchup.

The Hawks won Game 4 by a 110-88 count without star PG Trae Young. PG Lou Williams led the way in Young’s absence with 21 points on 7-for-9 field-goal shooting; he added 8 assists and 5 rebounds.

The Bucks were dealt a blow when PF Giannis Antetokounmpo left the game due to a knee injury. An MRI conducted Wednesday revealed no structural damage, but he’s doubtful for Game 5 on home court as the teams begin a best of three.
