Trae Young is still playing well.  Although Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is still hanging in there.

Shai actually had more net ROY points last week with 40.9 to Trae’s 35.58.  HOWEVER, Trae Young’s 20 bonus points from the Rising Stars Challenge puts him over the top.  AND, with Luka getting ZERO POINTS (Mavs can’t buy a win) and with Bagley not even playing, neither were really eliminated.

Which means: TWO rookies will be eliminated this week: AT LEAST one of Luka and Bagley and maybe even ROY uber-sleeper Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.  

Bagley still has 20 bonus points — he might need them.

MVP UPDATE  (3/4-3/10)

Player     Net MVP Points

Durant    34.03

Giannis   99.85

Harden    133.2

Jokic        44.53

 

Durant had the LEAST points, BUT he had 70 bonus points so he uses up 20 bonus points (for being on the winning All Star team) to edge out Nikola Jokic.
