  • In a highly anticipated matchup, Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic are going head-to-head in the NBA. These seven-footers have often been compared and are strong contenders for the coveted MVP award this year. This would be the third consecutive season where they finish as the top two contenders for the award, a feat achieved by only a few others, including LeBron James and Kevin Durant in previous years. Currently, Embiid is the favorite to win the MVP, leading the league in scoring with an average of over 33 points per game, along with impressive rebounding and shooting statistics. However, Jokic is not far behind, with odds of plus 175 to win the award for the third straight year. He is among the top five players in both rebounds and assists and maintains an average of nearly 25 points per game. NBA analyst Vince Carter weighs in on this matchup, acknowledging Jokic's quest to become the fourth player in history to win three consecutive MVP awards, while highlighting Embiid's exceptional performance this season. Carter believes that Embiid is determined to prove himself against Jokic and lead his team to a championship. Despite initially downplaying his MVP aspirations for this year, Embiid's impressive statistics and unwavering commitment to his team make him a strong contender for the MVP title.
  • Subtitles section
  • Of the best players in the NBA.
  • Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid going head-to-head tonight, but plenty linking them together on paper.
  • The seven-footers could finish top two for the MVP award for the third straight season this year.
  • The only pair to do that regardless of order, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, who did it, 2011 and 12 to 2013, 2014.
  • Now Embiid, the current odds-on favorite to win right now.
  • He currently leads the NBA in scoring, averaging just over 35, 33 rather, points per game, along with 10 rebounds and a career-high 55% shooting from the field.
  • But Jokic right behind him with plus 175 odds to win the award for the third straight year.
  • He's within a top five of both rebounds and assists.
  • He's also averaging just under 25 points per game for the West leading Nuggets.
  • So let's bring in NBA analyst Vince Carter with us now.
  • And we've got this matchup tonight, Vince, coming between the two of these.
  • Jokic trying to become the fourth player to win three straight MVPs.
  • Embiid looking for his first.
  • So convince me that Joel is gonna be the MVP this year.
  • Chelsea, you gave up those numbers, 33 points, 10 rebounds, 55%, and he's playing great basketball.
  • And I don't wanna go against Vegas in their odds.
  • No, I'm just kidding.
  • But no, I just think Joel is playing great basketball.
  • And I think he's looking forward to this matchup.
  • I think every time he matches up against Jokic, it's just to prove a point and let everybody know that he feels like he's as good, if not better than Jokic.
  • And he's trying to will his team into a position where they can play for a championship as well.
  • And we heard him at the beginning of the season said, hey, I'm not worried about the MVP this year.
  • I'm just gonna go out and play basketball and do what I can for my team.
  • Well, by doing that and having that mentality, it's putting him right back in that MVP race again.
  • And he's just continued to be consistent.
  • It's not like we've seen drop off and we haven't talked about it.
  • We've talked about Joel Embiid in this race all year long, right along with Jokic.
  • So this is gonna be a fun matchup.
  • And I think Joel Embiid understands that for what he's trying to accomplish, he needs this game and to play well and dominate.
