Pat Beverley was the MVP tonight for the Sixers. He completely took Jamal Murray out of the second half and upset Denver’s balance between stars in a big way – 9:54 PM

Disastrous end to the third quarter. Some really bad decisions from Oubre, a Korkmaz/Morris/PatBev/Maxey lineup, and the Sixers are down 5 with some minutes sans Embiid coming. Danger zone for Philly. – 9:25 PM

Sixers and Nuggets stayed relatively even during the non-Embiid/Jokic minutes. Another productive off-the-bench night for PatBev, who has eight points on 3-of-4 shooting. – 8:18 PM

38-36 Denver lead at the end of 1.
Embiid has 14/3/5, with Maxey (7 points and 4 assists), Batum (5) and Pat Bev (5 in the final minute) chipping in as well.
Both teams are shooting north of 60% from the field, and excellent from 3 as well (Nuggets 4-7, Sixers 6-11) – 8:03 PM

A lot of moving defensive pieces so far — Jokic has been moved around a bunch (Embiid, Oubre, Batum, Beverley) with Embiid mostly toggling between Jokic/Gordon. Sixers struggling a bit with switches and the off-ball stuff, Denver has punished them.
And a casual 14-3-5 for Joel – 8:02 PM

Several more players could be impacted this season. Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (14 games missed), Heat center Bam Adebayo (10 games) and Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox (six games) would each be supermax eligible if they make All-NBA this season. “Me, honestly, it doesn’t affect how I think about basketball,” Adebayo told ESPN. “I love to play basketball. I love the game. So, for me, I’m gonna play regardless. “I think it’s crazy that we have to have a rule that you have to play games, just because in my mind, I feel like everybody loves basketball the way I do. … -via ESPN / January 16, 2024
