Halfway through the NBA season, regular season MVP has been the focus of discussion among fans, and today we take stock of the players who are most likely to win an MVP this season.
1. LeBron James
Since entering the league in 2003, James has won 4 regular season MVP, except for the rookie season, James' MVP voice is very high every season, although the Lakers have a poor record now, but with the excellent performance of recent games, James has also begun to enter the MVP discussion.
So far this season, James has played in 25 regular season games, averaging 36.8 minutes per game, contributing 28.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists, of which 28.6 points per game ranks second in the league scoring list, second only to the Nets' Kevin Durant, and recently scored 43 points against the Blazers, which is 30+ points in 7 consecutive games, which is enough to get MVP, but due to the Lakers' poor record, so far, the Lakers have only achieved a record of 17 wins. Seventh in the West, which could be james' biggest obstacle to MVP.
2. Nikolai Jokic
Jokic, as last season's MVP winner, still has a very good chance of getting an MVP this season.
So far this season, Jokic has played in 29 regular-season games, averaging 25.7 points, 13.9 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game, including 13.9 rebounds, a career high, and currently ranks second in the league, behind the Jazz's Gobert, and has been getting better and better lately. But compared to last season, the Nuggets' record has declined, currently only achieved a record of 18 wins and 16 losses, ranking fifth in the West, a little careless, the record will decline, if the teacher wants to even zhuang MVP, the Nuggets' record must be further improved.
3. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Alphabet Brother has won two regular-season MVP and also won a championship for the Bucks last season, and this season Alphabet Brother still has a chance to earn a regular-season MVP.
So far, Alphabet Brother has played 30 regular season games for the Bucks, averaging 32.4 minutes of playing time per game, and can contribute 27.8 points, 11.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists, of which points and rebounds are ranked in the top ten in the league, and in the newly released MVP list, Alphabet Brother has reached the top.
At present, the Bucks' record is 25 wins and 13 losses, ranking third in the East, if it is not the early season bucks are not in good shape, the record is likely to rise, and such a record and performance, alphabet brother also has a very high probability of getting the MVP of this season again.
4. Kevin Durant
Durant has won a regular season MVP once in his career, but this season's performance, Durant is also enough to be selected again.
So far this season, Durant has played 29 regular season games for the Nets, averaging 29.8 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, including 29.8 points in the league, and the Nets' current record is 23 wins and 11 losses in second place in the East.
Off-season, I thought Durant could play health basketball and focus on the playoffs, but I didn't expect the season to start, Irving's absence, Harden's downturn, the Nets can only rely on Durant to carry the team forward, if Durant is crowned the regular season MVP again this season, Harden and Irving are the greatest.
5. Steven Curry
Curry has won 3 regular season MVP, and if it were not for the Warriors' poor record last season, Curry would have a very high probability of getting an MVP.
So far this season, Curry has played 33 games for the Warriors, averaging 34.8 minutes per game, averaging 27.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6 assists per game, leading the Warriors to a record of 28 wins and 7 losses, and currently ranks first in the league.
In past games, Curry has successfully broken Ray Allen's three-point record, and has become the first player in NBA history to hit 3,000 three-pointers, and today also completed a record of 158 consecutive three-point shots, if the Warriors and Curry can still maintain this state in the second half of the season, Curry's probability of winning MVP again is also greatly improved.
6. Demar deRozan
DeRozan, who played in the league for 13 seasons, has been tepid, but after joining the Bulls this season, DeRozan completed his transformation.
So far this season, DeRozan has played 31 regular season games for the Bulls, averaging 35.3 minutes per game, contributing 26.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists, leading the Bulls to a record of 24 wins and 10 losses, ranking first in the East.
So far this season, DeRozan's total score in the final quarter is 241 points, ranking first in the league. Averaging 7.7 points per game in the final quarter, ranking second in the league, becoming the king of the final quarter of the season, and completing back-to-back three-point shootouts in the Pacers and Wizards, becoming the first player in NBA history to kill an opponent back-to-back, this performance is enough for DeRo to approve of being one of the MVP candidates this season, and the Bulls are currently ranked first in the East, if DeRozan can continue to play in the second half of the season, it is likely to become the biggest dark horse in the MVP scramble.
