Hoops Tonight - NBA Questions: Celtics & Thunder COLLISION COURSE? Lakers & Warriors Finals threats?

Jason Timpf is joined by the Nerd Sesh guys to answer five big questions through the first few games of the NBA season. The guys discuss if Jayson Tatum's Boston Celtics and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's Oklahoma City Thunder have separated themselves as the clear-cut top contenders for the NBA Finals. Later, they debate whether Steph Curry's Golden State Warriors or Donovan Mitchell's Cleveland Cavaliers are the bigger surprise threat before answering if Giannis Antetokounmpo's Milwaukee Bucks or Nikola Jokic's Denver Nuggets will turn it around after a slow start. Next, Jason and the Nerds debate whether LeBron James' Los Angeles Lakers or Luka Doncic's Dallas Mavericks are more likely to go on a deep run in the NBA Playoffs. The show ends with the guys discussing if Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns are legitimate contenders after their fast start to the year.
