The All-Star break is a time for players to get healthy, and have some fun doing it. It also gives teams a chance to regroup. There are a few players that have stood out among the rest as MVP candidates, though.
As a reminder, the NBA has a new rule stating players must play at least 65 total games on the season to be considered for any awards. Some like it, some hate it, but it just how things are now. With that said, players like Joel Embiid will not be eligible to win back-to-back MVP awards.
