In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink Podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene to talk about the one thing that matters most: Nikola Jokic vs. Joel Embiid. Among the topics discussed:

+ After a recent strong stretch of play, has Michael Porter Jr. become No. 3 in the pecking order for Denver? 

+ The Nuggets find themselves in the midst of a brutal 10-game stretch. What can be learned during this grueling stretch?

+ Does Jokic vs. Embiid have the early makings of Russell vs. Wilt 2.0?
