Will Nikola Jokić win a third MVP?
It sure looks that way if the Denver Nuggets center manages to stay healthy the rest of the way. As always, injuries have whittled the field down some, with Steph Curry and Kevin Durant having missed considerable time. Giannis Antetokounmpo now looks like he’ll perhaps miss some time, too, just as Milwaukee was potentially on the cusp of closing in on first place in the East.
Luka Dončić deserves consideration, but his league-leading scoring numbers—one of the strongest cases he has, in light of his enormous usage rate—figures to possibly take a step back now with Kyrie Irving sharing the floor with him.
