With less than two months left before the end of the regular season, the ownership of the NBA's seven major awards is also a topic of concern for fans. Who gets these awards? Let's analyze from the perspective of data, from the least to the largest suspense -

Defensive Player of the Year

The least suspenseful thing is likely to be the Defensive Player of the Year. Wembanyama's election is expected to be well anticipated because his defensive stats are too unrebellious. So far this season, Wembanyama has averaged 3.8 blocks per game, which ranks first in the league, and has also averaged 1.1 steals per game. He's got at least five blocks in 13 games, and against the Trail Blazers, he even made a staggering 10 blocks in less than 30 minutes of playing time.

Gobert, who beat Wemban, last season, has seen a noticeable decline in defensive presence this season, and there are few opponents who can pose a threat to Wemban's victory. In terms of the latest odds for this prize, Wembanyama -5000 is way ahead, and the closest to him is Jaren Jackson Jr.'s +2000. Although Jaren Jackson Jr. has been voted the best defensive player and won two blocks, he has averaged only 1.6 blocks per game so far this season, and his personal defensive efficiency cannot be compared to Wemban.

Therefore, there should be almost no suspense about Defensive Player of the Year, and Wemban has a good chance of winning this award.

Head Coach of the Year

The number one favorite for Head Coach of the Year is Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson. The Cavaliers are leading the East so far this season and have a clear advantage, currently leading the Green by 5.5 games. On the one hand, their record is good enough, and on the other hand, their progress cannot be ignored. Compared to the same period last season (36-18), the Cavaliers have won eight more games. The new coach Atkinson is the absolute hero of the Knights' upheaval.

In terms of the latest odds on this prize, the closest to Atkinson is the Rockets' Udoka. The Rockets are indeed one of the most surprising teams this season, but they are currently on a downward trend. Compared to the same period last season (24-31), the Rockets have won 10 more games, but their overall record is not as good as the Cavaliers, and with seven losses in the last nine games, it is difficult to be optimistic about the final record. This also affects the probability of Udoka winning the award to a certain extent.

As for Thunder coach Daigneault, he already won the award last season, and this season has not changed much, and it is not expected to be re-won.

Regular season MVP

The suspense of the regular season MVP is also getting smaller and smaller, Jokic used to be the top favorite, but as the season progressed, Alexander received more and more support, and in ESPN's latest survey, he has surpassed Jokic to become the player with the best chance of winning the MVP.

In terms of personal data, Alexander currently averages 32.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.9 steals per game, ranking first in the league in points per game and second in the league in steals per game. In terms of team record, the Thunder are currently ranked first in the West and are far ahead.

Jokic's stats are also beautiful, averaging 29.8 points, 12.6 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game, which is a triple-double per game, and the Nuggets' record has rushed to third in the West. But Jokic has won three MVP trophies, and Alexander is more likely to win the favor of media people from the perspective of aesthetic fatigue.

Sixth Man of the Year

When it comes to the Sixth Man of the Year, Celtics' backup guard Pritchard has been the favourite for some time now. So far this season, Pritchard has played in 54 games for the Green Army, all of which have come off the bench, averaging 13.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, shooting 46.8% from the field and 41.1% from three-point range.

Hunter is Pritchard's main rival and could be a bigger threat to Pritchard if he hadn't been traded to the Cavaliers. After all, when it comes to the Cavaliers, Hunter expects a lot of time to switch to the starting lineup (currently playing in three games, two of which are starts).

So far this season, Hunter has averaged 18.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, shooting 46.2% from the field and 40% from three-point range. He averaged 18.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in 34 games off the bench while shooting 46.1 percent from the field and 38.3 percent from three-point range. Playing with the Cavaliers, Hunter's stats could slip.

With the current momentum, it will be difficult to have a third person compete for this award, with Pritchard still hoping for the most and Hunt second.

Rookie of the Year

As it stands, the most likely contenders for Rookie of the Year are the Spurs' No. 4 pick Castle and the Heat's No. 15 pick Weil.

Among rookie players who have played at least 30 games, Castle currently ranks first in points per game (12.9) and fourth in assists per game (3.4). For Castle, one downside is that after Fox's arrival, he switched to the bench, which may have had a certain impact on his subsequent statistics. So far this season, Castle has averaged 15.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in 29 games he has started, and 9.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in 22 games off the bench.

In terms of the latest odds for this award, the closest to Castle is Heat center Weil. Although Weil is currently averaging only 8.6 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, his upward trend is obvious, especially after he was promoted to a starter on January 22, his stats have improved significantly. In the 12 games he started with, Weil averaged 11.5 points and 9.8 rebounds per game, and has been close to averaging a double-double per game.

With less than two months remaining, Vale will pose a significant threat to Castle if he can continue his upward momentum.

Key Player of the Year

Who will be the key player of the year? According to the current odds, the most favored is Nuggets center Jokic, followed by Trae Young and Maxey. What are the stats of these three stars in key moments (the period when the final five minutes of a match are within five points) so far this season?

Jokic averaged 4.5 points per game while shooting 56.7 percent from the field and 54.5 percent from three-point range. Trae Young is averaging 4.7 points per game while shooting 39.7 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from three-point range. Maxey averaged 4.9 points per game while shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 32.0 percent from three-point range.

While there is not much difference between the three in terms of points per game in key moments, there is a significant difference in shooting percentage. Jokic has a clear advantage, and he should also be the favorite to be named Key Player of the Year. Especially if the league awards the MVP trophy to Alexander, the best key player may be a bit of a consolation prize for Jokic, who has also had a great season.

Most Improved Player of the Year

This is probably the most suspenseful of the seven awards. The most likely players to contend for this award at the moment are the Pistons' Cunningham and the Clippers' Powell, who are extremely close when it comes to odds to win. Let's see how much they've improved -

Cunningham averaged 22.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game last season, and this season he averaged 25.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game, setting career highs in scoring rebounds and assists, and Cunningham was also selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career.

Powell averaged 13.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game last season, compared to 24.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game this season, setting a career-high in points and assists, but Powell was not selected as an All-Star.

Powell's improvement in scoring stats is more noticeable, but Cunningham is more well-rounded, and he's an All-Star. The rivalry between the two is expected to continue, with Cunningham having a slight advantage for now.
