54 games played 28 left?
Even if Luka's rebounding decreases it shouldn't lower the averages too much.
That being said if Mavs start to win games early on, his minutes may get further reduced which would affect the PPG considerably.
All said, I agree that MVP bid requires a top seeding. Embiid seems to be gone. Giannis shouldn't get one as their record gone downward. Shai has a bid but numbers are not there IMO. Best candidate is Jokic.
Denver can take the #1 or #2 seed if they care for it.
Luka and Mavs can make it #5 seed but going up more would depend on some injuries occurring to top teams or Wolves, Thunder losing their composure.
