On this week's episode of The Underdog, Chris Horwedel and Bo Dunn talk about:
1:23- Los Angeles Lakers - Sitting at 1st place in the West, the Lakers are clearly the best team in the league, right?
10:17- Golden State Warriors - Is this the clearest-cut case of tanking we've seen since the 76ers?
13:25- Houston Rockets - James Harden is averaging 39.2 points per game, can he average 40? Is he a better natural scorer than Michael Jordan?
15:03- New Orleans Pelicans - Averaging 25.9, 7.3 and 3.9, has Brandon Ingram has ascended into star territory this season?
17:35- Denver Nuggets - Mired in 3rd place, do the Nuggets need to get aggressive and make a move for a star to win the West?
19:30- San Antonio Spurs - At 5-9 through 14 games, is this Pop's last season and will they look to move Demar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge?

27:51- Oklahoma City Thunder - The Thunder find themselves in the horrible position of being bad, but not terrible, will they ensure they change that by the deadline?
28:28- Utah Jazz - In order to take the next step in the West, the Jazz need to be aggressive and upgrade from Mike Conley at PG
28:54- Memphis Grizzlies - While Ja Morant has been sensational, the Grizzlies should be worried about the lack of growth from Jaren Jackson Jr.
29:45- Phoenix Suns - Averaging 14.5 points and 5.6 boards in just 24 mins, Aron Baynes deserves to be in the MIP discussion
31:00- Sacramento Kings - Given the Buddy Hield extension and his desire to start, the Kings will need to move Bogdan Bogdanovic at the deadline
32:09- Minnesota Timberwolves - Overshadowed by Karl-Anthony Towns' incredible season, Andrew Wiggins has elevated his game significantly. Is this the real Wiggins or a mirage?
