DEN vs PHI ScoutingDEN vs PHI Scouting
Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

Nikola Jokic records his 19th triple-double of the season, Nuggets cruise to 144-109 win over 76ers
DENVER -- — Nikola Jokic had 27 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists for his 19th triple-double of the season, reserve Aaron Gordon was nearly perfect from the floor and the Denver Nuggets beat Philadelphia 144-109 on Tuesday night, extending the 76ers’ losing streak to seven games.
Jokic finished his triple-double late in the third quarter with an assist that led to a dunk from Gordon. Jokic didn't play in the fourth quarter.
Gordon was 6 of 7 from the floor — 3 of 3 from 3-point range — and hit all four attempts at the free-throw line to finish with 19 points. The Nuggets had six players in double figures, including a 23-point performance from Julian Strawther .
Tyrese Maxey had 28 points and 10 assists for a Sixers team that remains without standout big man Joel Embiid due to swelling in his left knee.
This game was part of the NBA’s “Rivals Week” — a matchup that was expected to feature the last four NBA MVPs in Embiid (2023) and Jokic (’21, ’22, ’24). It got sidetracked by the injury to Embiid, who hasn't played in Denver since 2019.
Takeaways 76ers: Paul George (sore groin), Andre Drummond (toe) and Guerschon Yabusele (right knee) returned to the 76ers lineup. George finished with 11 points, Drummond eight and Yabusele 22.
Nuggets: Denver pushed the pace and tied a season high for points. The team also outscored the Sixers 39-7 on the fast break.
Key moment Philadelphia cut Denver's lead to eight early in the third quarter before the Nuggets went on a 24-12 run.
Key stat The Nuggets shot 61.2% from the field and 51.6% from 3-point range.
Up next The Nuggets host Sacramento on Thursday night, while the 76ers return home to play Cleveland on Friday night.
