NBA announcer Ian Eagle said that he is "hearing murmurs" that the MVP award will be presented to Gilgeous-Alexander in front of Jokic before Game 5 in Oklahoma City.

On Friday evening, the Denver Nuggets are playing the Oklahoma City Thunder (at home) for Game 3 of their second-round playoff series. Nikola Jokic had 12 poin

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played like an MVP when he needed to with 25 points, six rebounds, six assists and two steals, while Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Alex Caruso provided important sparks off the bench. In fact, SGA was the only Thunder starter to score more than 10, but they still had enough in large part because of their defensive effort.
