After the East Side game on December 14, the Nets were still first with 19 wins and 8 losses, the Bulls were second with 17 wins and 10 losses, the Bucks were third with 18 wins and 11 losses, the Cavaliers were fourth with 17 wins and 12 losses, the Heat were fifth with 16 wins and 12 losses, Philadelphia were sixth with 15 wins and 13 losses, the Wizards were seventh with 15 wins and 13 losses, and the Hornets were eighth with 15 wins and 14 losses. Although the Nets have a poor record against teams with more than 50% win rates this season, they are still the top spot in the East, and the Bulls' second place in the East is in jeopardy, and they have been postponed twice because of the health and safety agreement that only eight people can play.
The situation in the West is more complicated, the Warriors are 22-5 in the West, the Suns are second in the West with 21 wins and 5 losses (just lost to the Clippers), the Jazz are third with 19 wins and 7 losses, the Grizzlies are fourth with 17 wins and 11 losses, the Clippers are fifth with 16 wins and 12 losses, the Lakers are sixth with 15 wins and 13 losses, the Lone Rangers are seventh with 14 wins and 13 losses, and the Nuggets are eighth with 14 wins and 13 losses. The Warriors still have the league's first record, and the Nuggets and Bulls are similar in situation and many people can't play, but jokic alone is still in the top eight in the West.
According to the current record ranking, BBR has predicted the regular season MVP probability this season, Stephen Curry has fallen from more than 50% probability to only 20.3% by Jokic 30.2%, Jokic's Nuggets record is only 14 wins and 13 losses In the West, eighth is favored by the BBR to win the regular season MVP.
1. Jokic 30.2%;
2. Curry 20.3%;
3. Alphabet Brother 16.4%;
4. Durant 12.6%;
5.Gobert 7.3%
6. Chris Paul 5.1%;
7. James Harden 3.5%;
8. Jarrett-Allen 1.9%;
9. Mitchell 1.5%;
10. DeRozan 1.5%.
Many people don't understand why Jokic can surpass Curry in MVP probability with the eighth record in the West, in fact, their lineup is worse than the Bulls, the Bulls are mainly health and safety agreements and the Nuggets are really injury-prone, Porter Jr. season reimbursement, Dozier return is undecided, Murray return is undecided, Jere Michael Green's ankle injury return is undecided, Rivers Jr. and Pol Bohr triggered a health and safety agreement.
In such an unfavorable situation, Jokic once again played the performance of the first person after Chamberlain, averaging 26.5 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.27 steals and 0.77 blocks per game, shooting 58% from the field and shooting 37% from three-point range.
Curry's MVP decline has been linked to a sharp decline in his recent personal performance, with his three-pointers in the last three games being 6-of-17, 4-of-13 and 5-of-15. The key to alphabet brother's victory over Durant is that the Nets have a somewhat poor winning percentage in the hard battle.
