With roughly five weeks remaining in the 2024-25 NBA regular season, the race for MVP is still up in the air. Barring injury, it's a two-man race between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokić, but there are a lot of interesting debates to be hard for the positioning of players behind them.

Back-to-back games between the Thunder and Nuggets may decide (or upend) who gets the top spot on the Kia MVP Ladder.

With five weeks left in the 2024-25 regular season, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will get a chance to leave a lasting impression on MVP voters. The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Denver Nuggets in a home back-to-back that could help the 26-year-old stiff-arm Nikola Jokic for the prestigious award.
