SGA Favored Despite Injury

An abdominal injury has kept Shai Gilgeous-Alexander out of the last three games, and he is expected to be sidelined until at least after the All-Star break. He was a heavy betting favorite to win his second straight MVP before his injury and remains on top after missing a few games. He’s 2nd in the NBA at 31.8 points per game and is shooting extremely well from the field at 55.4%.

There is no reason to doubt that he will remain in the thick of the race when he returns. The Thunder are being cautious with him as they are making sure he is healthy for another deep playoff run as they chase a second straight title.

Jokic Closes the Gap

When Nikola Jokic missed a month with a knee injury, many thought his MVP chances were shot. Here’s the thing. He’s Nikola Jokic. The numbers this guy puts up are insane and impossible to ignore. He is right back in the race after returning at the end of January. Jokic is averaging 28.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 10.7 assists per game. He is first in the NBA in rebounds and assists. On top of that, he is shooting 59.3% from the field and 42.0% from downtown.

With SGA missing some time, Jokic is making up ground quickly. The superstar center has 19 triple-doubles to lead the NBA, and he will be making plenty of noise during the second half of the season.

What About Cunningham or Doncic?

It looks like a two-man race for the MVP, but what about guys like Cade Cunningham and Luka Doncic? Both players are enjoying great seasons with Cunningham helping the Pistons to the top of the Eastern Conference with a 39-13 record. Cunningham is scoring 25.3 points per game and is second in the NBA with 9.6 assists.

A hamstring injury has kept Luka Doncic out of the last three games, but he is close to returning for the Lakers. He is the NBA’s leading scorer with 32.8 points per game. Doncic is adding 8.6 assists and 7.8 rebounds in what has been a fantastic season. It will be interesting to see if he or Cunningham can steal some votes at the end of the year.

There are still tons of basketball games left to be played, and we all know that anything can happen in such a long season.
