In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, Denver Post beat writer Bennett Durando is joined by Oklahoman beat writer Joel Lorenzi to break down a tight MVP race and the remaining slate of games in the NBA season. Among the topics discussed:

+ Nikola Jokic has come out of the All-Star break on a tear, but can Shai Gilgeous-Alexander get the West’s No. 1 seed and take home his first MVP?

+ Where does Luka Doncic rank? All the stats are there, but do do the Mavs have enough wins for a solid case?

+ Giannis Antetokounmpo is having a career year, but are Jokic and SGA too far ahead of the field?

+ Jayson Tatum is the best player on the best team… does the math add up?

+ Bennett and AAron talk about their All-Star weekend in Indy.
