Today's game is the second time the two teams have met this season, the first time they have met, Alphabet Brother and Doncic did not play, so the reference is not significant, and today Doncic and Alphabet Brother are out, Doncic led the Lone Ranger to win the Bucks on the road.
It is worth mentioning that Doncic has performed very well this season against the three major MVP hot candidates Jokic, Embiid and Alphabet Brother, leading the team to a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, from this point of view, Doncic should also be the MVP hot candidate, but he is only sixth in the latest MVP list, not yet in the top five.
In addition, Doncic's record against Tatum this season is also 2 wins and 0 losses, leading the team to sweep the Celtics, but Tatum is ranked fourth in the MVP list, higher than Doncic.
In terms of personal performance and team record, Doncic is not bad, he can average 28 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists per game, ranking fifth in the league in points and sixth in assists. The Lone Ranger's record is also at the top of the Western Conference, no worse than the Records of the Bucks, 76ers, Celtics and Nuggets.
In terms of record, the Lone Ranger only has a big gap with the Suns and the Grizzlies, but Booker and Morant, the two MVP candidates, are not as good as Doncic. Aside from low attendance, Doncic hasn't had many flaws in his performance this season, and he's played more than 60 games, which is not less.
In this case, Doncic's MVP ranking should be higher, although it may not be ranked first, but the top three can still compete, but he is only sixth, which is indeed somewhat unreasonable. Of course, this season's MVP competition is indeed fierce, no one is leading the way, so it is not easy to say who can spend it in the end, Doncic does not have a clear advantage, and the possibility of finally getting an MVP is probably not very large.
