Sunday and Monday's back-to-back between the Denver Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder was supposed to clear up the NBA's MVP race. With both games in the rearview, this season's MVP remains a toss-up.

“This is my third or fourth year in a row, so I’m really — I don’t know. I cannot control it,” Jokić said. “Obviously, I think I’m playing the best basketball of my life. So if that’s enough, it’s enough. If not, the guy deserves it. He’s really amazing.” Nuggets coach Michael Malone was happy to step up and make the case for his guy.
