Steve Alexander and Matt Stroup recommend some of the most notable fantasy waiver wire pickups, including Talen Horton-Tucker after the high ankle sprain to LeBron James over the weekend. We also look at Jordan Poole, who’s had some big games recently in the absence of Steph Curry, and the rising rookie combo of Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart for the Pistons. Plus, some high-upside stashes ahead of the trade deadline in Oklahoma City and New Orleans.

Ryan Knaus, Raphielle Johnson, Steve Alexander and Jared Johnson join Matt Stroup to highlight a wide range of recent fantasy hoops developments. We discuss the injury that's expected to sideline Anthony Davis for multiple weeks (or longer), and what it means for the Lakers' rotation — most notably Kyle Kuzma. Plus, the emergence of rookie Saddiq Bey with Blake Griffin's Pistons career nearing an end. We also discuss more encouraging signs from Zion Williamson, and a monster February for Steph Curry and Terry Rozier so far.

Hey everyone! My name is Miguel Garcia and I’m the host of the Sports As A Weapon Podcast…A working-class sports podcast on the entanglement of pro sports, radical politics, & working-class sports fan culture…. And we just talk about sports too!

In today’s episode, I will be discussing Police Violence and the continued police killings of Black People. Specifically, I will focus today’s show on the shooting of Jacob Blake by Police in Wisconsin this past Sunday and the outrage from the black community and NBA players like George Hill and LeBron James. Blake was shot in the back 7 times at point-blank range by white police officers in broad daylight and in front of his children.

To end today’s show, I also discussed last week’s newly released video from June 2019 of Alameda County Sherriff Deputy Alan Strickland pushing Toronto Raptors President Masai Ujiri moments after the Toronto Raptors had defeated the Golden State Warriors in game 6 of the NBA Finals to capture their first-ever NBA championship and discuss previous police brutality incidents involving two NBA players, Sterling Brown and Thabo Sefolosha. Finally, I will end the show with my thoughts on LeBron James reading “The Autobiography of Malcolm-X" and Breaking News came in as I was recording that the Toronto Raptors could boycott game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals versus the Boston Celtics on Thursday...

After a week hiatus, I am back to give you my NBA Power Rankings Top 10 NBA teams going into the NBA Bubble playoffs. I also share a not no nice experience on Twitter with another fellow tweeter, and I round it off with Damian Lillard taking Skip Bayless soul in a Monday afternoon tweet.

NBA Power Rankings

It was impossible to predict what would happen during the season restart after 4 1/2 months off. But even expecting the unexpected, we have to be surprised by the performances of some teams in Orlando.

The title favorites have seemingly had a tough time adjusting. The Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers are a combined 7-10. The Lakers have had the worst offense in the restart, and the Bucks ranking 11th defensively over the last 11 days may be more shocking than that. Both Milwaukee and the Clippers lost to the Brooklyn Nets last week.

The Phoenix Suns probably shouldn't have been invited to the restart. But they were, they have their first five-game winning streak in 5 1/2 years, and they're still very much alive in the chase for eighth and ninth place in the Western Conference. The San Antonio Spurs went to Orlando to develop their young players and they've found themselves in the middle of that same chase.

Two playoff series in the East are set. The No. 1 seed Bucks will face the No. 8 seed Orlando Magic, while the No. 2 seed and defending-champion Toronto Raptors will face Brooklyn, the 7 seed. We also know that the Boston Celtics are the No. 3 seed in the East, while the Lakers are No. 1 in the West.

Everything else will be determined in the next seven days, with the Western Conference play-in series taking place on Saturday and, if necessary, Sunday.

With the top teams all stumbling, there's no obvious No. 1 in this week's rankings. Fortunately, this isn't college football or basketball, and the rankings don't really matter. 

Feel free to disagree.

Zion has returned to the bubble -- so what does that mean? Lou Will leaves the bubble for "personal reasons" and is caught partying with a rapper + a preview for the Pels scrimmage with the Nuggets. Don't usually post on Saturdays, so you know it's got to be good. Tune in!
