Lakers Panic Move Incoming? | Hawks Streaking | NBA Cup Elimination Day Preview

Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association

From the Lakers’ struggles to the chaotic finish of NBA Cup group play, today’s episode of Locked On NBA covers all the latest drama and key questions across the league. Are the Lakers doomed without major changes? Can the Hawks turn their streak into long-term success? Who will emerge from the final night of NBA Cup action, and are teams like the Nets and Raptors ready to embrace the tank?

• Lakers at a Crossroads: After a dismal 80-point outing and five losses in seven games, is Father Time finally catching up with LeBron James? With Anthony Davis showing cracks and the team struggling with depth, we analyze whether it’s time for a major move or if patience could still pay off.

• Atlanta Hawks’ Hot Streak: With back-to-back wins over the Cavaliers and a four-game winning streak, could the Hawks be an Eastern Conference dark horse? Or is their inconsistency—beating the best but losing to the worst—a dealbreaker?

• NBA Cup Group Play Chaos: It’s the final night of group play, and the scenarios are wild! Which teams will make it to Vegas? We break down pivotal matchups, including the Grizzlies’ uphill climb against the Mavericks and the tie-breaking math behind tonight’s games. Plus, a closer look at the intriguing Magic vs. Knicks showdown, where the #2 offense meets the #2 defense.

• Tanking Talk: Are the Nets and Raptors too good to tank? We examine whether Toronto should embrace a rebuild or push forward with their current core. Meanwhile, is Brooklyn quietly positioning itself for a top draft pick?
