The NBA playoffs are heating up, and so is the action on The Dunker Spot! Hosts Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones are back with a deep dive into the matchups that will define the next round, while also breaking down the biggest moves from a whirlwind WNBA free agency period.
First, the hardwood battles. The guys break down the two confirmed series with a scout's eye. Out West, the classic Spurs-Blazers showdown promises tactical chess matches and explosive guard play.

Duncan and Jones unpack the key storyline for every possible combination.
Then, they pivot to the WNBA, where free agency is reshaping the league's landscape. The duo reacts to the latest major signings, including Betnijah Laney-Hamilton returning to the Liberty and the terms for a star like Satou Sabally.
