Two of the NBA's top MVP candidates will face off when the 76ers and Celtics take the floor on Wednesday night.

Philadelphia center Joel Embiid is chasing his second consecutive scoring title, averaging 33.4 points per game on a career-high 53.1 percent shooting from the field. He has been spectacular for a Philadelphia team that has won 11 of its last 15 contests.

Boston forward Jayson Tatum isn't far behind Embiid in the scoring department, posting 30.9 points per game and leading the Celtics to the best record in the Eastern Conference. Tatum won't turn 25 years old until March, but he has already established himself as one of the league's elite two-way players.
