Cunningham and Doncic, close to a historic opportunity to win the MVP

An absurd, irrational law that could completely distort the NBA MVP award. That's the only way to define the fact that no player who has played fewer than 65 games by the end of the season can qualify for this award, and in fact, none can. With Jokic out of the running and Shai having less and less room to spare, Luka Doncic and Cade Cunningham are contenders.

It is clear that there are two players in today's NBA above the rest, namely Jokic and Shai. However, there are increasingly obvious signs that the Serbian and the Canadian see their candidacy in serious trouble due to the requirement of not missing more than 17 games. The Nuggets' player has only one game left, while the Thunder's still has ten games from which he could be absent, but there is still no clear date for his return to competition.

Cade Cunningham (having missed 7 games) and Luka Doncic (having missed 11 games) now have renewed hopes of winning the MVP. They are performing at a stellar level, but both know that if Jokic or Shai are eligible, they will be ahead of them in the voting. However, if they fall out of the running, there could be a great competition between them to compete for an award they were not strong contenders for some time ago. What will happen?
