Several voters have already disclosed their specific voting results—

As the most significant award, the outcome of the Regular Season MVP is not much of a悬念. Among the 28 voters who have revealed their votes, Alexander received 23 first-place votes, Jokic received 4, and Wenbanyama only received 1. Alexander is expected to retain this award.

The competition for Rookie of the Year is intense. Edgecombe is重在参与, with the main contest between Flagg and Knupel. Among the 25 voters who have revealed their votes, 13 first-place votes belong to Flagg and 12 to Knupel, but when converted to points, Knupel暂时领先 87-80 because he received more second-place votes.

Regarding the Coach of the Year, Mazzulla has a clear advantage. Among the 23 voters who have revealed their votes, Mazzulla received 18 first-place votes, Bickerstaff received 4, and Mitch Johnson received 1. Although Bickerstaff has already won the Coach Association's Coach of the Year award, the NBA's official Coach of the Year award is expected to go to Mazzulla.

The least悬念 should be the Defensive Player of the Year. Based on the current situation, all 22 voters who have revealed their votes gave their first-place votes for Defensive Player of the Year to Wenbanyama, considering him实至名归. Wenbanyama indeed has the opportunity to be elected Defensive Player of the Year unanimously. In this season's regular games, Wenbanyama averaged 3.1 blocks and 1.0 steals per game. When he was on the court, opponents scored only 106.8 points per 100 possessions, while when he was off the court, opponents scored 116.5 points per 100 possessions.

For the Most Improved Player, Alexander-Walker currently holds the advantage. In the published votes of 21 people, 14 placed him in the first-place position,领先 Duren by a比较明显的 margin.

The competition for Sixth Man of the Year is expected to be between Keldon Johnson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. Among the 22 voters who have revealed their votes so far, Johnson received 13 first-place votes and Jaquez received 9 first-place votes, with only a 6-point difference when their votes are converted to points.
