Who will win the biggest awards for the 2021-22 NBA season?

Giannis Antetokounmpo picked up where he left off on opening night, pouring in 32 points with 14 rebounds and 7 assists. Is a third MVP in his future or will another superstar take home the award? Could we see a repeat winner in the Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokic?

The early race for Rookie of the Year is looking like the Detroit Pistons' Cade Cunningham vs. the Houston Rockets' Jalen Green. But is a dark horse candidate lurking among the Class of 2021?

What about Defensive Player of the Year? You can't go wrong picking three-time winner Rudy Gobert. How likely is a fourth award in five years for the anchor in the paint for the Utah Jazz?

The races for Sixth Man, Most Improved Player and Coach of the Year, meanwhile, are all wide open.

We're only two games into the campaign, but our NBA experts are already making their picks for the six major awards.
