Watch Ovie Soko, Mo Mooncey and Jaydee Dyer on a new episode of Heatcheck, Sky Sports' NBA debate show.
With a schedule now in place for the NBA's return to action at the Disney Wide World of Sports complex in Orlando, Florida, Ovie and Mo will examine the latest details released by the league.
Is the 22-team possible play-in game format harsh on the teams currently occupying the eighth seed in the East and the West, the Orlando Magic and the Memphis Grizzlies? Will the neutral site have an effect on teams who have proven to be dominant at home?
Ovie and Mo will also discuss how dangerous a healthy Portland Trail Blazers could be in the playoffs if they are able to overhaul the Grizzlies for the West's final playoff berth. The Blazers have proven playoff performers in Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, the veteran presence of Carmelo Anthony and, most intriguingly, starting center Jusuf Nurkic set to return to action for the first time in over a year.
The Chicago Bulls started the 2019-20 season with a young team hoping to make a step forward and become a playoff team in the East but a disappointing campaign means they will not be heading to Orlando for the restart. What went wrong in Chicago this year?
In Posted Up, the guys continue to build their all-time starting fives. This week, they make their picks for shooting guard, with Michael Jordan certain to be leading the conversation.
Don't forget, you can engage with the show, ask Ovie and Mo questions and have your say on every topic discussed - and remember to use #SkySportsHeatcheck on Twitter!
