The conversation begins with a focus on the NBA, where Zachary Cohen and Will Hill discuss the ripple effects of injuries to Anthony Edwards and Dante DiVincenzo for the Timberwolves, making Denver a strong favorite in Game 5 despite a 3-1 series deficit. They debate the value of the Nuggets' series price at plus $1.35 and highlight the potential for a comeback.

I think Denver plus 135 is a good bet. And I think those conversations, whenever this Denver season ends, are probably going to start because Jokic has never been a trading guy. Why would he? He's had a good team. There's only one year left on his deal.
