On March 25, Beijing time, the Nuggets played at home against the Suns. Before the game, the US media StatMuse posted Jokic's achievements this season, he is the only player in the league to rank in the top ten in terms of points per game, rebounds and assists per game, and at the same time, he also leads the double-double and triple-doubles!
According to the data, Jokic currently averages 26.2 points per game, ranking 9th in the scoring list; averaging 13.6 rebounds per game, ranking second in the rebounding list; and averaging 8.0 assists per game, ranking 7th in the assists list. Jokic's all-round ability, from this can be seen. In addition, he has won 59 double-doubles and 18 triple-doubles, both ranked first in the league!
Murray and Porter Jr. are still not back, and Jokic led the Nuggets to a record of 43 wins and 30 losses, temporarily ranking sixth in the West. Head coach Malone has said that Jokic has played better than last season, and jokic was elected the regular season MVP last season. Malone also said he could get the Nuggets' multi-year contract extension, also because of Jokic. "Without Jokic, I wouldn't have gotten this contract extension." Malone said.
Does Jokic have a chance to win this award this season? StatMuse also conducted a fan survey, so far, more than 20,000 fans have voted, 51.6% of fans voted for Jokic, 28.2% of fans voted for Embiid, and another 20.2% of fans voted for Alphabet Brother.
These three stars are widely regarded as the strongest contenders for this year's MVP. Half a month ago, StatMuse announced a list of top players involving 40 pieces of data, including Embiid 6 firsts, alphabet brothers 4 firsts, jokic 30 firsts!
Perhaps the biggest obstacle to Jokic's MVP rise to the top is the Nuggets' record. However, according to the latest record, the 76ers and Bucks are both 45 wins and 27 losses, and the Nuggets are 43 wins and 30 losses, which is not much worse. Who do you think should be the MVP of the season?
