Yesterday evening, the NBA officially released the latest issue of the MVP list, which triggered a wide range of fans.
No. 1, Embiid
The Philadelphia 76ers won three of their latest four games, and although Harden looked like he had hit the wall, Embiid maintained his excellent form, scoring at least 30 points in the three games he had won, in addition to averaging 13.3 rebounds and four assists per game, the emperor is still the emperor.
2nd place, Jokic
Jokic has averaged 28.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and six rebounds in the last four games, but the Nuggets have lost three of those four games, which is the biggest reason jokic lost the top spot, after which they have only one win ahead of the seventh-place Timberwolves in the West. If you continue to lose, there is a good chance of falling into the play-off zone, which may become Jokic's biggest obstacle to winning the MVP.
3rd place, alphabet brother
The Bucks have played three games in the past week, with a 2-1 record, and Alphabet Brother has played in both games to win, averaging 30.5 points, 13.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. The Bucks are 0.5 wins ahead of the 76ers with one more win, and alphabet brother stats and Embiid are on par but behind each other, the only explanation is aesthetic fatigue, after all, he has won this award twice.
4th place, Tatum
The Greenshirts played four games last week, with the team maintaining a record of 4 wins. Tatum averaged 31 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5 assists during that period. The Greenshirts have won 21 of their last 25 games and soared all the way to 46-28, fourth in the East and just 1.5 wins from the top of the table. Tatum is expected to come later and become a spoiler in the MVP controversy.
5th place, Doncic
The Lone Rangers played 4 games last week and finished with a 2-2 record, winning all against Western teams and losing all against Eastern teams. Doncic played in three of them, averaging 23 points, 5.7 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game, well below his season average; but that doesn't hide Doncic's strong performance in the second half, and the Lone Ranger is currently fifth in the West with 45 wins and 28 losses, and may rush into the top half at any time.
6th, Morant
The Grizzlies played four games last Monday, during which they won 3-1, and embarrassingly, Morant missed the game due to injury to win 3 games and play the losing game, with 29 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. While it turns out that the Grizzlies can continue to win even without Morant, the third-year student's performance throughout the season has been really eye-catching, and he is still the absolute core of this team, the leader of the family.
7th place, Booker
The Suns also played four games last week, during which the team maintained a total victory, as the star of the family, Booker played in all 4 games, averaging 34 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, he proved himself, even without Paul, the team can still win. As a result, Booker's call for regular season MVP grew louder, and many stars, including Thomas, Lillard and Irving, expressed their clear support for him.
8th, DeRozan
The Bulls lost three of their four games last week, a microcosm of their poor performances over the past period, and the team's record has slipped all the way to fifth in the East. DeRozan played three of those games with injury, averaging 22 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. This led to DeRozan slipping one place on the list, but it was still difficult to hide DeRozan's efficient play throughout the season.
9th, Durant
In three games last week, the Nets had a 2-1 record, and Durant averaged 36.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game during that period. Since Durant's return, the Nets have a record of 6-4 in their last 10 games, and the team's record has returned to the top eight in the East. If it weren't for injuries, Durant would have been in the top three of the list.
10th, Towns
The Timberwolves lost 2 of last week's 3 games to the Suns and Mavericks, but at the same time they won the Bucks. Towns averaged 20.6 points, 10 rebounds and 3.3 assists during that time. As the fish belly of the past decade or so, the Timberwolves have emerged this season and are likely to return to the playoffs, and Towns is definitely the number one contributor.
