There are still 3 games left until the end of the regular season, and the team that ranks first in the West has not yet been determined, which shows how fierce the competition in the West is!
However, this Western Conference top spot will be born in two teams, the Timberwolves and the Nuggets.
Both teams currently have a 55-24 record, and the Timberwolves are in first place considering the head-to-head advantage this season.
Tomorrow, the Timberwolves and Nuggets will meet for the last time this season, and tomorrow's win-loss results will directly determine who is the first in the West.
At the same time, the star of the winning team will also have a high probability of winning the MVP of this season's regular season!
So far, Edwards of the Timberwolves is averaging 26.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, and Jokic of the Nuggets is averaging 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds and 9 assists per game.
Statistically, Jokic is better than Edwards.
However, there are three major conditions for the selection of regular season MVP, one is the team's record, the second is personal data, and the third is core leadership.
As a new NBA star, Edwards is on par with Jokic in terms of personal leadership, although his stats are slightly inferior.
In the 19 games that Towns missed due to injury, Edwards led the team to a 12-7 record and helped the Timberwolves hold on to the first place in the West, which is really rare.
In addition, Edwards has had a lot of great performances this season, which is very memorable.
Headbutted the basket with a shocking block and went all out to block Jazz center Collins, who scored a career-high 51 points today.
At the same time, Edwards, as a local American star, will get more media votes, and Jokic has won two regular season MVP trophies, and media people will have aesthetic fatigue.
Who do you think should belong to this season's regular season MVP?
