How much is unknown, but I have seen that big-time National TV matchups (like Philly/Milwaukee last week) do play a decent factor in swaying some voters. Should be interesting to see.
I doubt it though. Your'e right, in theory it should, but this is Jokic wer'e talking about. Jokic can get humilated by Giannis/Embiid over the next 2 weeks and I don't think it will really change anything in the MVP voters minds.
Less about the H2H matchups, I was speaking more generally. It will be interesting to see what Malone does with Jokic once they (probably) clinch the 1-seed.
