NBA PLAYOFF TALK! (Real + Fantasy) 🏀 🔥

The fantasy basketball playoffs are finally here but massive injuries are already threatening to ruin your season. Join Chris Long @ChrisLongNC and Todd Paul on the Weekly Tip-Off as they break down the fallout from Cade Cunningham’s injury and highlight the players you need to target for your championship run.

In this episode we take a deep dive into the shifting landscape of both conferences as the regular season winds down. We discuss the incredible eleven game winning streak by the Atlanta Hawks and why the Detroit Pistons might be in serious trouble without their star ball handler. We also give flowers to the Los Angeles Lakers for their recent dominance and debate whether Luka Doncic and LeBron James have what it takes to make a deep run through a crowded Western Conference.

Stick around for the end of the show where we pivot to the future of the league. We analyze the top talent currently competing in March Madness and debate which prospects are worth a top pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. Whether you are a Hornets fan looking for hope or a Lakers fan enjoying the ride this episode has something for every basketball junkie.
