      Jokic deserves it if he wins, but Luka was on a tear on the second half of the season and should probably win MVP if Jokic wasn’t in the way.

      I think they’ll go to:

      • MVP: Jokic
      • DPOY: Gobert
      • ROTY: Wemby
      • 6: Reid
      • COTY: Daigneault
      • MIP: Maxey
      • Clutch: Derozan

      MVP result is the most dubious even if I don’t think Dončić is near Jokic, even less SGA
