NBA Star Power Index: Jayson Tatum, Devin Booker going scorched earth; Giannis upstages Embiid in MVP showdown

Also, Nikola Jokic continues his assault on history and Paul George authors an epic return

Welcome back to NBA Star Power Index: A weekly gauge of the players getting the most buzz around the league. Inclusion on this list isn't necessarily a good thing -- it simply means you're capturing the NBA world's attention. This is also not a ranking. The players listed are in no particular order. This column will run every week throughout the regular season. 

Giannis served the Sixers a 40-piece on Tuesday as the Bucks, who've won 11 of 15 since the All-Star break, moved into the East's No. 2 seed, one game up on both Boston and Philadelphia. 

Antetokounmpo added 14 rebounds, six assists and three blocks to his ledger. The last of those blocks was a potential game-saver as Joel Embiid, after an offensive rebound, had a point-blank layup that would've tied the game with less than two seconds to play before Giannis erased it.
