The NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) award is an annual award given to the best performing player of the regular season in the NBA. Based on two weeks of NBA action in the month of November, the NBA has already considered six (6) MVP candidates (refer to the attached Players.rds and Games.rds datasets). Based on previous years, players winning the award had averaged at least 23 points (pts) per game, averaged at least 5 rebounds (reb) a game, averaged at least 5 assists (ast) a game, and averaged at most 5 turnovers (to) a game.
Based only on the above criteria, how many player(s) is/are on track to win this award? That, how many player(s) satisfy all the criteria. Type the NUMBER only.

This question asks to determine how many of six MVP candidates meet all of these thresholds based on two weeks of November NBA action: at least 23 points per game, at least 5 rebounds per game, at least 5 assists per game, and at most 5 turnovers per game.
First, identify the six MVP candidates referenced in the prompt by consulting the provided data sources (Players.rds and Games.rds). Since those datasets are not included here, I cannot extract the actual player names or their per-game averages directly.
Next, for each candidate, compute or verify the four metrics over the two-week window: points per game (ppg), rebounds per game (rpg), assists per game (apg), and turnovers per game (topg). The criteria are: ppg ≥ 23, rpg ≥ 5, apg ≥ 5, and turnovers per game ≤ 5.
If a candidate satisfies all four conditions, mark them as meeting the criteria; if even one metric fails, they do not.
When the six candidates are evaluated, the count of players meeting all criteria is simply the number of players who satisfy every threshold simultaneously.
Potential pitfalls to avoid:
- Averaging versus total totals: ensure you’re using per-game averages, not season totals, since the criterion specifies per-game values.
- Handling edge cases: if a candidate’s two-week sample is incomplete or has missing game data, decide whether to exclude that candidate or treat missing values as not meeting the threshold, depending on the data quality rules you’re following.
- Rounding: confirm whether the averages are reported with certain precision; apply the same rounding rules used in the dataset when comparing to the thresholds.
Once you have the per-game averages for all six candidates, you can tally the ones who meet all four conditions and report that count as a single number to fill the blank.
In summary, the required output is a single integer representing the number of players among the six candidates who satisfy all four criteria over the specified two-week October window (November period in the prompt), based on the attached datasets.
