The reveal is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET, just ahead of the decisive Eastern Conference playoff matchup. This marks the first time in recent years the league has timed the prestigious individual honor announcement with a high-stakes elimination game. The three finalists are Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić, and San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama.
Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder to the best record in the Western Conference during the regular season, while Jokić, a three-time MVP winner, continued his dominant play for the Nuggets. Wembanyama, already a frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year, has emerged as a transformative two-way force in just his third season.
By tying the MVP announcement to Game 7, the NBA aims to maximize viewership and drama as the playoffs reach a critical juncture. The winner will be revealed live on Prime Video’s national broadcast, blending the league’s top individual achievement with the intensity of postseason basketball.
