Tim Legler and Adam Mares break down the best games and biggest stories across the NBA, starting with how Franz Wagner’s injury impacts the Orlando Magic and the fallout from Desmond Bane firing the ball at OG Anunoby. They discuss Jalen Johnson’s emergence as a triple-double machine, James Harden cracking the top ten on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, and their predictions for the NBA Cup quarterfinals. The guys also dive into the Lakers’ late-game win behind a huge fourth quarter from LeBron James, whether the Sixers can keep winning with Joel Embiid battling physical struggles, and a reevaluation of every Eastern Conference team’s true ceiling. Are the Celtics capable of more than another second-round exit? Are the Knicks still real championship contenders? Plus, why the Raptors have become one of the biggest risers of the season, why the Pistons might actually have an Eastern Conference title path, and what Atlanta’s future looks like once Trae Young returns.
