There are a lot of players putting up MVP-esque Seasons this year, but only 3 belong in the front of the race: Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Joel Embiid. The MVP race is a close one this year, and we probably won't know who's going to win until the season ends. The Warriors have been through turmoil this season, and with the strength of this year's Western Conference, it makes sense to wonder whether or not they can make it back to the Finals. The Celtics have been an incredible team all season, but the strength of the Bucks will always be a challenge to deal with, and the Celtics' odds of winning that series may not be as high as we initially thought. The Lakers are rising in the Standings, and the players on the team are reportedly very interested in matching up with the 2nd-seeded Kings. That would be a very entertaining series and would have some great strategizing coming from both sides. The Kings' playoff drought looks to finally be over after 16 years, but how far they will go in the playoffs is a question. Enjoy!
