The Atlanta Hawks, Dallas Mavericks, Philadelphia 76ers, and San Antonio Spurs aim for playoff contention with key players like Trae Young, Kristaps Porzingis, Anthony Davis, Cooper Flagg, Joel Embiid, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, De'Aaron Fox, and Victor Wembanyama.

This episode of Locked On NBA Game Night explores the playoff prospects of teams that missed the postseason last year. Hosts Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit, Locked On Mavs) & Camille Davis (@CamilleMonae, Locked On Bucks) analyze the Atlanta Hawks' offseason moves and their -600 odds to make the playoffs. They discuss the potential of the Dallas Mavericks with Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg, the Philadelphia 76ers' chances with a healthy Joel Embiid and Paul George, and the San Antonio Spurs' young roster led by Victor Wembanyama. The hosts also touch on Kyrie Irving's recent streaming comments and a Reddit post about all-time NBA teams based on player initials.
