Analyzing Team Dynamics and Player Opportunities in the NBA

Verno and Jacoby discuss the action-packed MLK Day slate of games yesterday, including the Grizzlies edging out the Timberwolves, the Celtics demolishing the Warriors, Cade Cunningham’s stellar season, and the low-key good Knicks win over the Hawks (04:00). They then debate if Joel Embiid will play Tuesday night against the Nuggets and the growing concerns about his health (27:00). Next, as we inch closer to the halfway point of the season, the guys each share three things that they believe in the most (40:17).
