This week's tailgate we dive back into some NBA action as the season rolls along (1:53). We discuss the hot start with new teammates James Harden and Joel Embiid. We also look at the Nuggets who are looking to maintain playoff seeding while awaiting the return of Murray and Porter Jr. Then we give our thoughts on the MVP candidacy of DeMar DeRozan. We end the show as usual by giving out this weeks shot bets (16:20) and giving our final shots of the week (19:50).
