Austin and Pausha are back to discuss recent injuries, including the Rockets’ Alperen Sengun and the Timberwolves’ Karl-Anthony Towns, then break down where this leaves both teams (8:00). Then, they talk through the Mavericks’ unimpressive record—despite MVP candidate Luka Doncic lighting the league on fire—and suggest what another playoff miss could mean for the team (30:50). Later, they run through another edition of Rapid Fire questions, in which they propose moving Zion Williamson from the Pelicans to Miami (58:48).

Hosts: Austin Rivers and Pausha Haghighi
