For all the serious and wishful prognostication around Shai-Gilgeous Alexander getting NBA MVP consideration, De’Aaron Fox has quietly joined the chat himself. In his last six games, Fox is averaging 34.2 points, 6.2 assists, and has shot at least 50 percent in all but one of those games.
On Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks, Fox continued his excellence, dropping 30 points, seven assists, four rebounds, and three steals in the Sacramento Kings’ 129-113 win. He and Luka Doncic battled all game long, often finding themselves in one-on-one matchups.
