The Denver Nuggets were denied a matchup with one MVP but will get a chance against another one Monday night.

Reigning league MVP Joel Embiid didn't play Saturday when Denver defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 111-105. Giannis Antetokounmpo, who won back-to-back MVPs in 2019 and 2020, is coming totown with the Milwaukee Bucks in a matchup of two recent NBA champions.
