Welcome to Week 24 of NBA Awards Watch, where we take pride in attempting to mix small sample sizes from the past week and season-long projections for the league’s most important award!

More from NBA

In an effort to make some sense of the wide open 2014-15 MVP race, we’ve taken a look at the top 10 candidates for each and every week of NBA action. Last week, we took a look at why the MVP race has come down to Stephen Curry and James Harden.

This week, we’re ending the top 10 rankings and cutting it down to a top five because, let’s be honest: this MVP race was narrowed down to Harden, Curry, Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis and LeBron James some time ago anyway.

That being said, with only a few days left in the regular season, it appears that the 2014-15 MVP Award is Stephen Curry’s to lose. This week, we’ll be taking a look at how the other four candidates stack up to Curry and why they won’t be coming out on top.

But first, here are the honorable mentions:

Honorable Mentions: Chris Paul, LaMarcus Aldridge, Marc Gasol, DeMarcus Cousins and Kawhi Leonard

Next: No. 5 - King James
