NBA Podcast: Playoff Odds, Another COVID Season + 2022 NBA Draft Chatter

This article is part of our Fantasy Basketball Podcast series.

Nick Whalen is joined by James Anderson to discuss a grab bag of NBA topics, including Stephen Curry (likely) breaking the three-point record Tuesday night at MSG, the impact of COVID on fantasy basketball, the Lakers' trade prospects, and another disheartening Zion Williamson update.

Then, the guys touch on the Cavs' upside, Minnesota's playoff chances, and updated odds for Defensive Player of the Year, Coach of the Year and MVP. Finally, they finish out by talking Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren, Jabari Smith and Jaden Hardy in comparison to the star-studded 2021 rookie class.
