Oklahoma City Thunder guard and former Kentucky star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander appears to be closing in on his second straight MVP.
Gilgeous-Alexander has been leading in the betting odds for months, but a late charge from San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama has tightened the race.
However, Gilgeous-Alexander has picked up some separation. On Friday morning, ESPN’s Tim Bontemps published his influential MVP straw poll, which asks 100 media members to log their top-5 picks for the award.
Gilgeous-Alexander earned 88 of the 100 first-place votes, with Wembanyama nabbing just 8. Wembanyama (63) also split second-place votes with Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic (20).
