The official website updates the FMVP rankings: Harry beats Alexander to return to first place, Sika third, Jay is fourth

On June 13, Beijing time, the Pacers currently lead the Thunder with a total score of 2-1, and the NBA's official website updated the FMVP (Finals MVP) rankings, with Haliburton surpassing Alexander and returning to the first place. Here are the specific rankings and analysis –

1. Haliburton, Pacers

Finals stats: 17.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 7.7 assists per game

Why it's on the list: He is the core of the Pacers' offense with his rhythm control and passing. The third game is his most complete masterpiece of this round so far - taking the initiative on the offensive end to help the team avoid the problem of slow heat in the first two games. Of course, another reason why he is at the top of the table is that the Pacers are leading 2-1. In addition to averaging a slightly unusual 4 turnovers per game, Haliburton's contribution was the primary factor in the Pacers' dominance.

2. Alexander, Thunder

Finals stats: 32.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists per game

Why it's on the list: He's still the most dangerous player on the field, leading the series with the highest score. No matter how the Pacers defend, as long as he feels online, the Thunder's win rate will increase dramatically. In the third game, he had a slight up-and-down: six turnovers and just one goal in the final quarter. But as the Pacers' number one defensive target, if he can bounce back strongly in Game 4, he is very likely to regain the initiative in the battle for the MVP top.

3. Siakam, Pacers

Finals stats: 18.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists per game

Reason for being on the list: Aside from Game 2 (when the Pacers were in a slump as a team), his consistency was a benchmark. As the Pacers' leading scorer and rebounder in the series, he had only three turnovers in total. Siakam's offense was largely focused on the 18-foot area, and he only made eight three-pointers in the first three games, but the Thunder were never able to limit him. He proved his ability to play big when the Raptors won the championship in 2019 and still maintains the same mentality.

4. Jalen Williams, Thunder

Finals stats: 20.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists per game

Why he's on the list: He's yet to fully dominate the series, with his performances fluctuating, but perhaps he's gaining momentum. He led the team to a five-point lead in the final quarter of the third game, showing the potential to take over the game. As the Thunder's second point of offense, and Siakam's defense, his performance will have a direct impact on the course of the series — especially as the Pacers further contain Alexander.

5. Nembhard, Pacers

Finals stats: 11.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists per game

Why it's on the list: Despite hitting a key three-pointer in the first game, his core value in the series is more on the defensive end. When he was defending Alexander, he shot just 35 percent from the field, well below his usual level. Nembhard's confidence continued to grow as the game progressed, and every defense that forced Alexander to make a tough shot rewrote the Pacers' championship probabilities. Even if the chances of winning the FMVP are slim, if the Pacers end up winning the cup, he will be an Indiana hero.
