About this episode

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few quick thoughts on the New Orleans Pelicans and Atlanta Hawks advancing in the NBA Play-In tournament. Or, more specifically, he recaps a few of his player props that helped make him (and our listeners) a little dough. Later, ESPN NBA analyst Brian Windhorst swings by to discuss whether or not Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets should be the favorites to win the Eastern Conference this year, the perceived pressure on Kyrie Irving heading into the postseason, the overall uncertainty surrounding Luka Doncic’s calf injury, why the Los Angeles Lakers head coaching job is more desirable than folks would lead you to believe, what’s next for Russell Westbrook, the likelihood that superstar players like Jimmy Butler, Damian Lillard and Karl-Anthony Towns get moved this offseason, and much more!
