The NBA was set to announce this season's defensive player of the year on Thursday night, with Atlanta's Dyson Daniels, Golden State's Draymond Green and Cleveland's Evan Mobley the three finalists.

Green won the award in 2017 and is bidding to become the 11th player in NBA history to win it at least twice.
