NBA Midseason Media Survey by Mark Medina
NBA 季中媒體調查

A select group of NBA beat reporters expect two major storylines to unfold in
the second half of the 2022-23 season.

They believe the Boston Celtics will win the NBA championship, rectifying
last season’s loss to Golden State in the NBA Finals. And they predict
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic will collect his first Kia MVP trophy.

NBA.com used the midpoint of the season to survey 30 beat reporters or
columnists representing each NBA market, including two reporters in New York
and two in Los Angeles. The reporters responded to questions about the best
teams, players and coaches at the halfway mark.

Percentages are based on 30 total votes for each question.

Some of the respondents in this survey also vote for the NBA’s Kia
Performance Awards, announced annually after the conclusion of the season.
The results in this survey are unrelated to those awards.

The list of panelists who took part in this survey can be found at the bottom
of these results.

NBA 記者預測兩條故事線會發生在 2022-23 賽季下半段賽程

他們相信波士頓賽爾提克隊將贏得 NBA 總冠軍，彌補上賽季在 NBA 總決賽中輸給金州勇
士隊。 並預測獨行俠Luka Doncic將獲得他的第一個Kia MVP 獎杯。

NBA.com 請了 30 名 NBA 球隊記者或專欄作家以問卷調查，關於最佳球隊、球員和教練
的問題。而調查數據的百分比將基於 30 張選票。

本次調查中的包含了一些年度表現獎，但本次調查的結果與最終獎項無關。參與投票名單
將於文末列出。
