The NBA season is heating up and the playoff picture is starting to take shape. On today’s All-NBA show, we break down everything happening around the National Basketball Association as teams battle for position and others appear to be headed in the opposite direction.

We start in the Eastern Conference and look at the shifting landscape at the top and in the play-in race. What contenders are separating themselves, and which teams are starting to fall behind?

Then we head out West, where the conference continues to be a brutal nightly fight. From rising contenders to teams trying to stay out of the play-in, we examine how the Western race is shaping up.

We also talk about the return of Jayson Tatum and what his presence means for the stretch run as teams gear up for the postseason.

Plus, a major conversation around tanking. Nearly 10 teams were on losing streaks last week, raising questions about whether the league has a growing tanking problem and what it means for competitive balance.

And off the court, we dive into ownership controversies involving the Los Angeles Clippers and the Memphis Grizzlies—what’s happening behind the scenes and why people around the league are talking.

All that and more as we take a full look at the current state of the NBA. 🏀
