Ben Anderson, Utah Jazz insider for KSL Sports and Jake & Ben, joins the program to talk about the Utah Jazz recent fine over resting Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr.

Jason Walker and Eric Frandsen continue their preview of Mountain West games coming up this weekend and take a look at the bracketology for the league.Sacramento State is making the move to the MAC, paying $20 million for the privilege to do so. Does the deal make financial sense and will it ultimately be worth it for Sacramento State and the MAC?The Utah Jazz were fined for tanking, Jason and Eric talk about what actually went into the Jazz being fined $500k for sitting Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr., along with more discussion on how the media and NBA have handled this story.

On this episode of The Drive & Dish NBA Podcast, hosted by Kevin Rafuse (@rafusetolose) and Justin Cousart (@JustinContheAir), Kevin is joined by Sam B. Albuquerque (@sambalbuquerque) to break down a busy trade deadline. First, Kevin puts on his homer hat though and breaks down Paul George's 25 game suspension and the Sixers trading Jared McCain to OKC. Why Kevin and Sam think the PG suspension is not the end of the world, but why the McCain trade is a disaster. After the break, Jaren Jackson Jr. is officially shut down for the season after being traded to the Jazz. What this signals for a Grizzlies rebuild and a larger tanking race signal from Utah. Plus, why Utah came out of left to make this move. Next, Anthony Davis is headed to Washington to team up with Trae Young and the new look Wizards. Does this move make sense now? Then, a major swap between the Clippers and Cavaliers as James Harden and Darius Garland swap places. Why the Clippers made this move despite a turn around and if this makes the Cavaliers true contenders. Plus, a few quick hitters with the Bulls and red hot Hornets making moves. Listen to the show wherever you get your podcasts and watch the show on YouTube!

Utah Jazz e Indiana Pacers foram multados nesta semana por como tentaram perder de propósito. Outros temas serão o novo formato do All-Star Game, a dispensa de Jeremy Sochan pelo San Antonio Spurs, os grandes jogos de Cam Thomas e Ousmane Dieng pelo Milwaukee Bucks e a polêmica de Giannis Antetokounmpo se tornando acionista de um "mercado de previsões".No Both Teams Played Hard lemos histórias sobre o Bola Presa ajudando um restaurante em Curitiba e um canal de corrida de rua.....NESTE EPISÓDIO Introdução do tema - 0:45 Carinha do Jabá - 3:40 James Harden - 5:56 Detroit Pistons e briga - 20:25 Jeremy Sochan dispensado - 29:50 Cam Thomas, Ousmane Dieng e Bucks - 41:28 Giannis e as apostas - 51:15 Jazz, Pacers e tanking - 1:00:03 All-Star Game - 1:14:51 Both Teams Played Hard - 1:26:06...|OS PARÇAS DO BOLA PRESA|ASSINE O BOLA PRESA E RECEBA CONTEÚDO EXCLUSIVO Por R$30 por mês você tem grupo no zap, bingo e mais de 100 podcasts exclusivos extras .CAMISETAS INSIDER Com nosso cupom BOLAPRESA você tem 15% OFF, já aplicado automático se usar o link abaixo:

After decades of hundreds and hundreds of NBA teams constantly pumping the brakes and tanking to improve their draft position, the NBA decided to draw a completely arbitrary line in the sand.After the media suddenly, randomly, and arbitrarily expressed anger and horror over the Jazz rightfully treating last weekend's games like extended exhibition and training to prepare for the future--something many teams have done before--the NBA decided it couldn't let the fury continue and levied its biggest fine ever for conduct detrimental to the league.Mark Russell Pereira (@markrussell.pereira.bsky.social) tackles this issue, noting that the actual punishment was issued after recording the meat of the show. On either end of that discussion, we discuss Jaren Jackson Jr.'s necessary surgery to remove a benign mass in his knee, and some clever ideas to alleviate tanking issues while explaining why the NBA is so problematic with this issue to begin with.Sound off in the comments.

On Night 24 of 40 Days & 40 Nights, EJ discusses the Knicks signing Jeremy Sochan, Kevin Durant's comments challenging narratives related to the NBA All-Star Game, Utah's Jaren Jackson Jr. being shut down for the season, the new trailer for Spider-Noir, rumors about the plot of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and the potential of seeing more Netflix-era characters in Daredevil: Born Again Watch "40 Days & 40 Nights" hosted by EJ Stewart LIVE every Weekday at 8am & 6pm Eastern on YouTube, X and Instagram!

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. With the NBA schedule narrowed to three games on the final night before the All Star break, the focus shifts to motivation, roster management and market value as teams navigate the last hurdle before extended rest. Milwaukee travels to Oklahoma City, Portland visits Utah and Dallas heads to Los Angeles to face the Lakers, creating a compact but nuanced betting board. The Bucks and Thunder both enter on the second leg of a back to back after wins. Oklahoma City handled Phoenix comfortably, limiting starter minutes in a 136 to 109 victory, while Milwaukee earned a 116 to 108 road win in Orlando behind a 34 point effort off the bench from Cam Thomas and 11 assists from Kevin Porter Junior. With injury reports pending, including concern around Jalen Williams for the Thunder, depth and pace become central themes. Oklahoma City has thrived even without key contributors, yet the compressed schedule and looming break raise questions about intensity. Milwaukee, meanwhile, has been held under 103 points in five of its last six games and scores nearly nine fewer points per game on the road than at home, reinforcing the case for a lower scoring profile despite Oklahoma City's offensive ceiling. In Utah, the Trail Blazers look to rebound from a 133 to 109 loss in Minnesota, where defensive lapses and inefficient shooting defined the night. Portland has already scored at least 136 points in both prior meetings with the Jazz this season and now faces a Utah team adjusting after news that Jaren Jackson Jr is likely to miss the remainder of the season for knee surgery. The Jazz have been in developmental mode, and while recent defensive metrics have shown improvement compared to their season long ranking near the bottom of the league, personnel uncertainty clouds projections. Utah has covered six straight games and continues to compete in first halves before rotations thin late. Portland's offensive consistency against this opponent and Utah's shifting frontcourt structure make scoring expectations a primary angle. The late game features Dallas at the Lakers, with Los Angeles favored despite ongoing lineup fluidity. Luka is out, while LeBron James and Austin Reaves anchor the Lakers' attack. Dallas has struggled on the road with only five wins away from home, yet underlying defensive effective field goal metrics compare favorably to Los Angeles. The Lakers remain below league average defensively and have not consistently separated from opponents, even at home. Market inflation tied to brand perception contrasts with statistical parity, particularly if Dallas receives solid contributions from secondary scorers in an elevated spotlight environment. Beyond the NBA card, the college basketball futures discussion highlights the importance of two way efficiency. Historical trends emphasize teams ranked inside the top tier in both offensive and defensive efficiency. Programs such as Michigan, Florida, Duke, Arizona, Houston and Connecticut fit that profile, while Vanderbilt presents long shot value given its balanced metrics and conference strength. As the All Star break arrives, the betting landscape demands careful attention to minutes allocation, motivational edges and evolving injury news rather than surface level records.

NBC Sports NBA writer Kurt Helin

0:00 ... Show open ... Ross introduces panel and dedicates show #223 to Jaren Jackson Jr, the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year. 1:17 ... Dave's former team, the Clippers have played well the past month but still became sellers at the deadline ... what was their plan? 2:55 ... The Memphis Grizzlies sent Jaren Jackson Jr to the Utah Jazz in a curious move.  Is there any sense to this move and some other recent moves like trading Dillon Brooks and Desmond Bane? 6:26 ... Dave worked with Danny Ainge in Boston where he pulled off a trade for Ray Allen that helped the Celtics acquire Kevin Garnett and win a title.  Can he pull off a similar trick in Utah? 8:52 ... Utah basically tanked a winnable game last weekend against Orlando ... was it a bad look for the league that needs to be addressed? 10:55 ... Will Jazz coach Will Hardy start feeling the pressure next year with a better group of players? 11:45 ... The Washington Wizards seem to be moving away from their young players by acquiring veterans like Trae Young, Anthony Davis, D'Angelo Russell, and some others.  Will it stifle the progress their young guys were making? 14:34 ... The Wizards seem like a rudderless ship but Dave feels their new GM Michael Winger is smart and there may be subsequent steps involving the guys they acquired. 15:54 ... What about the Celtics trading Anfrenee Simons and getting back Nik Vucevich?  Dave loves the deal for Boston.  Dave also feels like Brad Stevens has done amazing work in making smart moves while keeping the team in good financial shape. 18:27 ... Payton Pritchard is back to his 6th man role with the departure of Simons.  Dave loves this role for him because Pritchard proved he could start in the league and he'll have lots of freedom on the second unit. 20:06 ... Jonathan Kuminga was traded from Golden State to Atlanta with Kristaps Porzingis going to the Warriors ... how does this affect their playoff chances? 21:30 ... How does Kuminga fit in in Atlanta? 23:22 ... What does Giannis Antetokounmpo's future look like?  Is he staying in Milwaukee for the long haul? 24:43 ... Expect to see Giannis in Milwaukee at the start of next season.  Giannis is very loyal.  Dave compares him to what Kevin Garnett went through in Minnesota. 26:09 ... Orlando was quiet at the trade deadline.  They're a well coached team with a good roster but they should be better. 27:16 ... Fun topics to cloe the show... how serious are the Philadelphia 76ers as contenders in the east? 28:27 ... The Charlotte Hornets have been on fire ... do they have a chance to make the postseason? 29:48 ... Dave feels Sacramento is the opposite of the Hornets ... they haven't been to the Finals since 1951 and the owner keeps firing good coaches.  No reason for excitement in SacTown. 32:13 ... The Bulls have made a bunch of trades and didn't get any first round picks while some of their guys made contributions elsewhere.  They never seem to have a breakout season but it's hard to see what direction they're moving in. 33:59 ... Injuries have been a problem across the league and it's making some good players ineligible for postseason awards due to the 65 game rule.  Can anything be done? 36:25 ... Is there anything about the style of play that is causing injuries to occur more frequently?  Dave cites some examples of random injuries 38:46 ... LeBron James needs to play every game the rest of the way since he would need to do that to reach 65 games played.  If he does it, is that good for the team?  Dave transitions into a fun story about how he once played just 5 seconds in a game, and went into that game at the 47:55 mark. 43:49 ... Can the Spurs be a serious contender?  Dave feels like they can and also ticks off some other teams he feels can win it all. 46:49 ... Ross wraps things up and closes out the show.   TRT 47:21                   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As we pass the NBA trade deadline and see at least three certified Hall of Famers get moved, why did a lot of NBA fans feel like an eventful week of trades feel so unfulfilled and pessimistic about teams in tank mode and playoff teams ready to pick off the pieces, but unwilling to give too much away? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back together after Adam held the fort earlier this week to give out grades for each team, talk about the reality of the second apron blues for playoffs teams, and why play-in purgatory seems like the one place teams do NOT want to be down the stretch. The Chicago Bulls finally made big roster changes, but why did all they pick up were guards? Why do Adam and Andrew disagree about what the Utah Jazz (by acquiring Jaren Jackson Jr.) are trying to do? Did the Atlanta Hawks get worse in the short term but have a bright future in the long term? If you're Steph Curry, is it time to ask out of Golden State? Andrew and Adam also talk about playoff teams standing pat, expiring contracts on the move, the dreaded 'player to be named later,' and more! So suit up and take it out in 378 with the NBA-Team!

A long-awaited piece of news broke just before we hit record on this episode: the Utah Jazz have added to the Great Young Core! Andy is jubilant after the Jazz traded for Jaren Jackson Jr. on Tuesday afternoon and shows up to record in what Brendan calls a "murdered-out Utah Jazz ensemble." After a Sports Minute focusing on the Great Young Core and Andy's upcoming Super Bowl experience in the Bay Area, the two discuss the actual big news of the day, LIV Golf receiving OWGR points for the 2026 season. The top 10 finishers at each LIV event will receive points, with nothing going to those finishing 11th or worse. This has already led to complaints from the league and comparisons to the full field receiving points at a non-Tour event like the Hero World Challenge. Andy believes LIV's complaints don't have a leg to stand on given that the league does not abide by some of the usual OWGR guidelines to begin with. Brendan dove into the 2026 LIV media guide to learn more about this year's teams and found some great nuggets while researching this week's fourth Ace. LIV will start its season in Riyadh, with the Saturday finish ending up on FOX Business. On the PGA Tour, the WM Phoenix Open looks to NOT finish in a playoff that runs into the Super Bowl. Andy's list of "5 Guys to Monitor This Week (For Various Reasons)" features a sponsored legend, a three-time major champion, and one of Brooks Koepka's mules! We also spend PLENTY of time learning about the second mule Brooks will be bringing along with him into the field this week. There's a hilarious list of DPWT notables in Qatar to round out this week's schedule before Andy and Brendan read the latest statement from the LPGA regarding Sunday's disaster in Florida. We'll see you on Friday for more! Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12! We'll be hanging out at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of Q&A, Champs Tour Minute, and plenty of Bears chatter.
