About this episode

On today's episode, Jason makes his official predictions for round one of the NBA Playoffs. Will the two MVP frontrunners - Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid - even make it out of the first round? Can the Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors survive without Luka Doncic and Steph Curry being fully healthy? Will Giannis Antetokounmpo and the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks be able to sweep the plucky Chicago Bulls? Can the upstart Minnesota Timberwolves upset Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies? Will Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics get revenge Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets? Jason has the answer to all those questions - and more! Plus, our fearless leader closes the show with a very special NBA Playoffs weekend edition of the Best Bet
