1. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks
2. LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers
3. James Harden, Houston Rockets
4. Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers

James and Antetokounmpo are the clears favorites to take home the MVP award.
On the season, James is collecting 25.7 points, 10.6 assists and 7.9 rebounds per game. In addition to him averaging a career-high in assists, he is leading the entire league in that category.
