Is the MVP race already locked up for SGA, or can Jokic still make a late push? Plus, the Celtics make franchise history in an unexpected way, Jeanie Buss drops a revealing comment about Anthony Davis, and we debate which of the NBA’s worst teams could actually make a Finals run.
Did Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just slam the door on the MVP race, or can Nikola Jokic still flip the narrative? We break down OKC’s dominant win over Memphis, SGA’s fourth-quarter takeover, and why the head-to-head matchups with Denver could decide everything. Meanwhile, the Celtics pulled off a franchise-first with Derrick White and Payton Pritchard making history—but does it actually matter for Boston’s title hopes?
Then, we take a closer look at Jeanie Buss’ eyebrow-raising comments on Anthony Davis and how his desire to avoid playing center may have pushed him out of Los Angeles. Over in Milwaukee, Giannis Antetokounmpo reached the 20,000-point mark, and we discuss whether he’s still underrated as a pure scorer. Plus, James Harden turned back the clock with a 50-point explosion—just as the Clippers started to slip.
Finally, we debate a fascinating question: which NBA team with a losing record right now has the best shot at making the Finals? Are the Pacers quietly dangerous? Could a Warriors run still be on the table? And what about the Heat or the Hawks? Don’t miss this loaded episode of Locked On NBA!
