More than halfway through the 2024-25 campaign, Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the frontrunner to win MVP.

The fifth spot was another tough choice. Jalen Brunson is the beating heart of a Knicks offense that has been a force this season and he could well be No. 5 on my board, but the defensive concerns and credit for that offense also going to Karl-Anthony Towns bumped Brunson down one spot in my book to sixth. By the end of the season, this may flip.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokić continue to set the Kia MVP pace for each other and the rest of the field.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 33 points and the NBA-leading Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Portland Trail Blazers 118-108 on Sunday night. Jalen Williams added 24 points and eight assists, and Isaiah Hartenstein had 14 points and 11 rebounds to help the Thunder rebound from a home loss to Dallas on Thursday night.

It's been a season of remarkable milestones for Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He added another Wednesday night as the Thunder secured a 123-114 victory over the Utah Jazz, with the point guard lighting up the scoreboard for a career-high 54 points.
