Previewing High-Stakes Matchups and Playoff Expectations

Verno and Jacoby go through some of Monday’s NBA action, starting off with the Wolves' encouraging comeback win against the Thunder in OKC. They then discuss the hot Pistons, who are riding a seven-game win streak; the Sixers, who got blown out by the Bulls; and the Nuggets' bounce-back win against the Pacers. Next, from Cade Cunningham’s superstar status to Lu Dort’s Defensive Player of the Year chances, the guys share things that they believe will soon become true around the league.
