Since Embiid went down, Maxey has a record of 8-11, not good, but for reference Kyrie has 2-5 record w/o Luka, Murray played only 1 game w/o Jokic (close loss to OKC).
Nothing stands out about Sizers record w/o Embiid but with Maxey, their problem is that Maxey missed a lot of time also.

I think Jokic has opened a healthy gap on SGA, and the odds of SGA closing it with OKC remaining schedule are slim.


Meh I'd still bet on OKC to win the one seed gun to my head. OKC probably wins ~58 games and Denver wins ~57 games


What? Denver isn't going 6-4 the rest of the way. They've gone 12-2 since the all star break and have a ridiculously easy schedule ahead. I'd be surprised if they lose 3 more games.

The race is over. Jokic and the nuggets aren’t gonna play some .500 ball all of a sudden.

Don't forget Doncic has player 61 games to Jokic's 68. So the gap is much bigger than it appears.

Denver beats Memphis
Dallas beats Utah

Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
The Brodie = All-out energy

Pacers have scored on 11 out of their 12 possessions in the 4th. Scary bad defence from the clippers

Mavs in the playin and Jokic in first- kinda not really fair - SGA the betting second and Luka is kinda again a brides maid. Also you can love Luka but he still isn’t in the top 3 when Embiid plays - he still 4 or 5 considering if you like SGA or Luka more

The funny thing is SGA and Jokic might vote for Luka if they had a vote lol’
There is a ton of mutual respect at the top right now

2013 LeBron is the last player to win both MVP and FMVP. Will 2024 Jokic be the next one?

Nuggets 2-1 without Jokic.

Mavs 3-6 without Luka.

They almost lost to Portlands GLeague team and they beat Clippers during "after the Harden trade" losing streak on the night where Reggie Jackson and Deandre Jordan did their Kobe/Shaq during 3-peat impersonation.
