MVP Still Uncertain? Alexander's 175 Missed Shots Still Higher Shooting Percentage Than Doncic, Re-election Probability 92%

On March 22 Beijing time, after Doncic scored 60 points, the call for him to win MVP surged, and he rose to second place on both the odds list and the official MVP list. But can he really threaten Alexander's chance to re-elect MVP? At least some American media don't think so.

Data media StatMuse wrote: "Interesting fact: Shay (Alexander) can miss 175 consecutive shots, and his shooting percentage would still be higher than Luka (Doncic). Data shows Alexander's shooting percentage this season is 55.1% (629 out of 1141). If he misses 175 shots, his shooting percentage would be 47.8%; Doncic's is 47.7% (624 out of 1307)."

Additionally, the sports prediction market platform Novig indicates that SGA (Alexander) has a 92% chance of winning the regular season MVP.

Fox Sports analyzed the MVP odds ranking of the two on March 21 as follows—

Alexander (Thunder): Odds -1000

Key points: SGA averages 31.5 points per game, ranking second in league scoring; he leads the Thunder, who firmly hold the top record in the league. Moreover, he is setting an astonishing record—130 consecutive games scoring 20+ points, refreshing the NBA's longest record. Currently, the Thunder also hold a 10-game winning streak. This award is basically secured, with little suspense.

Doncic (Lakers): Odds +1500

Key points: Doncic's odds for winning have sharply risen in recent weeks. The Lakers have achieved an eight-game winning streak, and he leads the league scoring list with an average of 33.4 points per game. In the past five games, Doncic scored 60, 40, 36, 30, and 51 points respectively. He also averages 7.9 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game.

If there is any uncertainty, it may lie in the two encounters in the final stage of the regular season. The Lakers will face the Thunder away on April 3 and host the Thunder on April 8. The outcomes of these two games and the performances of both players may influence voters' choices. This is also Doncic's last chance to surpass Alexander. Who do you think will become MVP?
