Oladipo figures to be the favorite after a breakout campaign in which he hit career highs across the board. Considered an underachiever after four NBA seasons between the Orlando Magic and Oklahoma City Thunder, Oladipo became an All-Star his first year in Indiana after last summer's Paul George trade.
Capela became a crucial part of Houston's attack, while Dinwiddie averaged a career-high 12.6 points per game.
The winner will be revealed June 25 at the NBA Awards show in Los Angeles.
