The New Orleans Pelicans Brandon Ingram deserves to be in the MVP conversation.
Brandon Ingram had 31 points, six rebounds, and four assists in 35 minutes against the Toronto Raptors, and his decisive play down the stretch helped seal the win for the New Orleans Pelicans.
Ingram ended 2020 by being rightfully awarded this season’s inaugural Western Conference Player of the Week honor, but he could end his season with an entirely different award—the NBA’s Most Valuable Player—if he continues this standard of play.
