That’s wierd. Jokic was better than Nic and had a better stat line and faced a better team and better front court.

If the Clippers win, it'll be Jokić, unless Zubac goes crazy in the second half. If the Mavericks win, only two qualified statlines = no award.

End of Month update:



OIP.w1YtwiNAx_94z7wkc_tRCQAAAA



Big Man of the Month for October is Nikola Jokić. Jokić ran away with it, winning five awards for the month. Zach Edey, of all people, finished second with two: he only qualified as an Honorable Mention twice, and won Big Man of the Night both times.

Injuries created ample opportunity for unheralded big men to shine: eighteen big men earned an Honorable Mention in November, with eight earning HM at least twice! Five times in November, BMOtN came from the Honorable Mention ranks!



Big Man of the Month, season-to-date:

October: Victor Wembanyama
November: Nikola Jokić

Due to earning five Honorable Mentions in November, the following player(s) will receive probationary addition to the nightly Top Tier Big Man listing:


DeAndre Ayton (LAL)
Jalen Duren (DET)
Evan Mobley (CLE)

Due to earning two Big Man of the Night awards as an Honorable Mention in November, the following player(s) will receive probationary addition to the nightly Top Tier Big Man listing:

Zach Edey (MEM)

No need to wait to post this: no matter who wins the Thunder/Warriors game, there will be, at most, two qualified statlines tonight. Therefore, no award.
