The Yali series averaged 30+6+6, Jokic averaged 28+14+6, and who is stronger in the MVP direct duel?

The series between the Thunder and the Nuggets has ended. The Thunder defeated the Nuggets in the tiebreaker, eliminated their opponents 4-3 with a big score, and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals. The Nuggets lost the tiebreak in the semi-finals for the second consecutive year and missed the Western Conference Finals. In the semi-finals last season, the Nuggets suffered a 20-point comeback at home and were eliminated by the Timberwolves.

Although the Thunder and the Nuggets have a big difference in the regular season record this season, the Thunder have won 68 wins and the Nuggets have only 50 wins, this round of series still won until the tiebreak battle was decided, which shows that the overall strength of the two teams is not much different. Alexander and Jokic, two MVP candidates, also had direct conversations and both performed well.

Alexander averaged 37.6 minutes per game in this round of the series, scoring 29.7 points, 6.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists, with a shooting percentage of 52.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%. Jokic averaged 40.4 minutes per game and also scored comprehensive data of 28.4 points, 13.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists, with a shooting percentage of 47.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 32.5%.

From the perspective of data, Alexander and Jokic performed very well in this round of series, worthy of their MVP candidates, and their data is very similar to their regular season data, but Jokic's assists are a little less than those of the regular season, and he also averaged triple-double per game in the regular season.

Since the Thunder eventually eliminated the Nuggets and Alexander's average score was a little higher, in general, Alexander's performance was still a little stronger than Jokic. Jokic was only very good in the first and fifth games, scoring 40+, and his performance in the other five games was not very good. Alexander only performed poorly in the third game, and the rest were very stable, and he scored 30+ in 5 games.

It is worth mentioning that the final ownership of the regular season MVP this season has not been announced yet, but there is basically no suspense, either Alexander or Jokic. Moreover, since Alexander's leading record is much better than Jokic, the MVP is most likely Alexander's. Alexander not only can win the MVP, but he is also expected to continue to compete for the championship and FMVP, becoming the biggest winner of this season.
