    About this Episode

    Matt Stroup and Jared Johnson dive into a 10-game Wednesday NBA slate, looking at some notable hot streaks and slumps -- and what to make of them. Are D'Angelo Russell and Ricky Rubio going to be trustworthy fantasy options going forward? Should we be concerned about cold streaks for Trae Young and Andrew Wiggins? And is this the calm before the storm or the beginning of the end for Lou Williams? We tackle those questions and many more on this episode.
