A player hasn’t won the MVP in back-to-back years since Steph Curry did so in 2015 and ’16. The other finalists for MVP are the Houston Rockets’ James Harden and the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James.
The awards are voted on by a global panel of NBA writers and broadcasters and cover only games played up until the league paused the season on March 11. The winners will be announced during the playoffs.
