Embiid's Streak Continues Amid MVP Eligibility Concerns; Knicks and Celtics Score Significant Wins

As Embiid risks his MVP chances due to missed games, the Knicks and Celtics secure victories against the 76ers and Jazz respectively, with standout performances from Brunson and Tatum.

Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers continues his 30-10 streak, but risks his MVP chances due to the NBA's new rule requiring players to participate in at least 65 regular-season games to be eligible for awards. Embiid has already missed seven games and can only miss ten more before becoming ineligible.
The 76ers suffered a significant loss to the New York Knicks, with a final score of 128-92. Despite Embiid's performance, the team's overall performance was lackluster, leading to their defeat.
The Utah Jazz also experienced a significant loss against the Boston Celtics, with a final score of 126-97. The Jazz's performance was marked by unbalanced shots and a lack of physicality.
Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks scored 29 points in their victory against the 76ers, contributing significantly to their win.
Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics scored 30 points and hit five 3-pointers in their victory against the Jazz, leading the team to their seventh victory in eight games.
