Joel Embiid may have finished in second place in MVP voting behind Nikola Jokić the past two seasons, but he would not be runner-up on this day. With Jokić and the Denver Nuggets in town, Embiid pulls no punches in having one of the best offensive performances in another otherworldly season of production. Embiid — an All-Star in six consecutive years — picks Denver apart on mid-range pull-ups, second-chance putbacks, dunks on strong drives to the rim where he gets to showcase his underrated handles and stepback jumpers over the Joker from inside and outside the arc, all while playing game-changing defense. Embiid hit 40 points for the ninth time this season and 35th time in his career, picking the Nuggets apart with 47 points, 18 rebounds, five assists, three steals, two blocks and five three-pointers as the 76ers claimed a 126-119 victory on January 28, 2023.
