We’re less than two months away from the play-in tournament, and do we have any real idea who the MVP will be? Previous favorites Joel Embiid and LeBron James have both missed significant time. Neither Nikola Jokiu0107 nor Damian Lillard’s teams have matched his individual brilliance. James Harden logged nine brutal games with the Rockets before being shipped to Brooklyn and two-time reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo could suffer from some serious voter fatigue. This is one of the deepest MVP races in NBA history, one that could come down to the final week.
We’ll save our official MVP picks for a later date.
