Jokic is without his 2nd best player, Lukas performances still werent that bad and who is gonna be above Jokic and Luka. I doubt anyone will wanna give Embid the mvp because of what happened last year. SGA isnt performing better than Jokic or Luka and might actually have the better team than the both of them (well better than the Nuggets without Jamal) and everyone else is a step behind.

Also same goes for Giannis. He should be way higher, but because of a bad start to the season, he is close to the bottom. Doubt it will stay that way though.
