00:00Now we go to the individual race for the MVP award.
00:03Shea Gilgis, Alexander, and Nikola Jokic.
00:06The Joker looking to win his fourth in the last five years
00:09to become the sixth NBA player ever to win four MVP nods.
00:14Shea Gilgis, Alexander, leading the NBA in scoring
00:17at nearly 33 points per game,
00:19a part of the best team in the NBA
00:21and topped the Western Conference in OKC,
00:23is the hefty favorite at minus 440.
00:27Jay, I'm not gonna ask you if the MVP race is done.
00:31My question will be how close and competitive
00:35can it get down the stretch run of this regular season?
00:39I don't think it's gonna get terribly close, Ben.
00:41Maybe a little bit shorter,
00:43but I don't think the odds moving this much.
00:45One, because of the fact that OKC
00:47has just an absolutely huge lead,
00:50even on Denver, who I do believe right now is the three seed.
00:55And if you really think about the schedule,
00:57the rest of the way,
00:58Oklahoma City, 13th toughest schedule,
01:01the rest of the way, Denver, third toughest.
01:03So to me, I don't even see Denver
01:05making like even a push towards it.
01:09So to me, when I look at it,
01:10I don't think it gets much closer than this.
01:12SGA leads league in scoring, 20th in assists,
01:16team's gonna run away with the number one seed.
01:18Also the fact we talked about in the past,
01:21voter fatigue, voter fatigue, who's the next crop?
01:24SGA wins the MVP.
01:26And I don't think the odds move much.
