ESPN's First Take debated whether Boston's Jaylen Brown or Denver's Nikola Jokic deserves NBA MVP honors before tonight's primetime matchup, sparking fan backlash over the comparison. Brown averages 29.2 points, 7 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in 51 games while Tatum recovers from an Achilles injury, though advanced stats favor Jokic's 28.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 10.5 assists with elite efficiency for the fourth-place Nuggets. Boston thrives even without Brown at times, highlighting team depth, yet some see him as an underdog load-carrier; official ladders still rank Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jokic ahead.
