Episode Description from the Publisher

We have an action-packed episode of The Big Number coming your way! Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine break down how Karl-Anthony Towns is becoming an offensive hub by unlocking Jalen Brunson and the Knicks’ offense. Are the Knicks making a case to come out of the East? Next, the duo discusses why the Celtics offense is going through a deep freeze and how the Philadelphia 76ers have halted the Celtics’ offensive weapons. Is this pattern for Boston in the postseason cause for concern? Then, they share what has led to Jalen Duren’s drop from the regular season to the postseason and make sense of Evan Mobley’s performance in the Cavs’ series against the Raptors. Should the Cavs consider making serious moves? Plus, Adam Silver sent out an NBA draft lottery reform proposal to 30 GMs across the league. Tom and Dan give you the details and walk through a draft simulator based on the new proposed reform. All that and more!
