The Denver Nuggets and the Philadelphia 76ers squared off in Denver on Tuesday night in a rivalry game, but one part of the rivalry was missing. 76ers star Joel Embiid missed this game due to his knee injury that he has been managing throughout the season, so Nikola Jokic was the only superstar big man on the floor.

Nikola Jokic had 27 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists for his 19th triple-double of the season, Aaron Gordon was nearly perfect from the floor and the Denver Nuggets beat Philadelphia 144-109, extending the 76ers’ losing streak to seven games.
