Due to the abbreviated NBA schedule in October, the league gives out their first Player of the Month honor for a combined October and November. Your Boston Celtics' Jayson Tatum is the winner for the Eastern Conference while the Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokic takes home the win on the Western side.
In terms of an early look at the MVP race, that will still remain a tough challenge for Tatum as Jokic is leading the league in total points, rebounds, and assists. In my opinion, in today's game where players sit a lot more, totals have more value than they used to.
