By this logic any of the player awards should also go to someone on the team with the best record: chiefly the MVP & DPOY.
Nurse has the Raptors on a 14-game winning streak, currently, and 2nd in the East after the mighty Bucks-- 3rd in the NBA. This despite that Kawhi, Valanciunus, and Danny Green all took off before the season, and also in spite of the fact none of their four best players-- VanVleet, Lowry, Siakam, and Ibaka-- have played more than 43 (of 53) games so far due to injury. In fact, nobody but OG Anoby & Terence Davis has played played more than 45 games.
They're 1.5 games ahead of the Celtics, 4.5 games ahead of Miami, and 6.5+ games ahead of every other Eastern team. They're currently projected for a freaking 60-win season.
Unless things change it's Nurse by a nautical mile.
