We have a fun episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!

Giannis Antetokounmpo is reportedly “ready for a new home” — which opens a host of questions. Should the Bucks move him? If so, how soon, and who makes sense for him? Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones Jr. discuss it all.

From there, the guys talk about the very-good-but-kinda-flawed Houston Rockets. From the budding Kevin Durant-Alperen Sengun two-man game, to the highs and lows of the Amen Thompson experience, to the importance of role guys like Reed Sheppard and Jabari Smith.

Finally, they close by previewing the upcoming slate of Unrivaled games. Friday’s slate will be played in Philadelphia, the first time Unrivaled has taken its show on the road! The guys talk about those matchups, as well as some interesting lineup and advanced data through the early portion of the season.
