With Durant needing to miss 4-6 weeks due to injury, that is likely to change the pattern of regular season MVP competition over the next two months. After all, so far this season, Durant has averaged 29.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, in addition to 52% shooting and 37.2% three-point shooting, and it is because of Durant's excellent performance that the Nets can still maintain the top performance in the East this season.
It's just that in the case that Durant needs to miss the game for a period of time, it may be difficult for him to impact the regular season MVP, and it can even be said that he can basically withdraw from the regular season MVP competition. So which player is most likely to continue to impact the regular season MVP for the rest of the season? Us media Eddie Bital lists the following rankings:
10. Ja-Morant
9. Zach-Lavin
8. James Harden
7. Rudy Gobert
6. Chris Paul
5. Joel Embiid
4. Demar deRozan
3. Nikolai Jokic
2. Stephen Curry
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Among the above players, Alphabet Brother should indeed be the player who has the best chance to win the regular season MVP trophy this season, after all, Alphabet Brother still averages 28.5 points, 11.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1 steal and 1.5 block data performance per game, and more importantly, the Bucks have gradually approached the top of the Eastern Conference under the leadership of Alphabet Brother.
In addition to the alphabet brother, Curry's overall performance in the past period of time has not been ideal, but if Curry can get back to form as soon as possible, he will still be the player with competitive strength. As for players such as Jokic, DeRozan and Embiid, who are considered to be in the top 5, given the personal data of these players and the team's record, they will definitely have a chance to do so before the end of the season.
