Earlier this season Durant maintained his 30 points per game to be in the No.1 spot of the MVP standings. Though he is now following the regulations of health and safety protocols of the NBA he is in better chances to follow the same further.

The Nets have tried to cope with the situation by bringing some of the players in exchange. They also decided to bring Kyrie Irving as a part-time but the reason being the same for Kyrie it didn’t happen. Kyrie’s all season’s absence has already impacted the team and now to cope with the Covid-19 situations, the Nets are not having this year in favor. They might not have an MVP for at least for a weak following the cancellation of the game against the Denver Nuggets.
