The pair use this week’s Little Numbers to make a case for the remaining Western Conference starters including Nikola Jokić of the Denver Nuggets, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors and more. Can Luka Dončić be named a starter in spite of how few minutes he’s played? And who will Dan & Tom choose between Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis and Sacramento Kings clutch performer Domantas Sabonis?

To wrap, Tom & Dan give an update on their over/unders competition and make two new picks concerning Victor Wembanyama’s free throw attempts and shot distance.
