NBA MVP race for you who is your favorite this season?

My favorite is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder)

Like last year, there are only two candidates: Shai and Jokic. Nikola leads in assists and rebounds per game. Shai doesn't lead in points. Oklahoma already has more losses than a year ago. If Denver finishes in the top three of the conference, Jokic is unquestionable. Denver looked good without Jokic, but they had a relatively easy schedule. Oklahoma looked worse without Shai, but they faced a rather difficult schedule. The head-to-head matchups are in Shai's favor. Shai was the best player of the game, while Jokic wasn't his team's best, and Shai is a two-way player. I hope for a few MVP points for Khawai Lenard because he definitely deserves for this season.

As someone who’s followed the season closely, I can see the argument both ways. Jokic’s impact through playmaking and rebounding is still unmatched, but Shai’s two-way presence and clutch performances—especially in the head-to-head games—make the race really tight. If Denver finishes top three it strengthens Jokic’s case, though Shai carrying OKC and dominating those matchups makes him just as deserving.

Many NBA leaders are prone to injury this season. Therefore, the number of matches played will become an important role by the end of the championship. Brown could squeeze in between Jokic and Alexander in the race for MVP.
