The same players were the finalists last year too.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, and the current and 2 times MVP Nikola Jokic are again the 3 concluding players selected for the award.

The vote for the Most Valuable Player in NBA and other finalists in other categories will be on Monday.

Last season the nominations for the NBA MVP were the same, and the Serbian won it; Embiid finished 2nd and Antetokounmpo 3rd.

Jokic has a chance to win the award for a 3rd time in a row and be only the 4th player in the league’s history to do it after Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, and Bill Russell.

Nuggets finished in the 1st place in the West, and Nikola is only the 3rd player and 1st center to average a triple-double per game.

Joel finished as the highest-scoring player for 2nd season in a row.

Giannis helped Milwaukee Bucks to end the regular season with the best record.
