Pelicans No. 1 In West, Zion MVP Talk? | Mavericks Need To Get Luka Help | Wizards Time To Rebuild?

Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Jake Madison (@Locked On Pelicans) to discuss the New Orleans Pelicans rise to the number one spot of the Western Conference riding a 7-game win streak behind MVP-caliber numbers from Zion Williamson. What did the two recent wins against the Suns tell the rest of the NBA? Should Zion be getting MVP recognition? How deep is the Pelicans-Suns rivalry? How underrated and impactful has Larry Nance Jr. been?Then Nick Angstadt (@Locked On Mavericks) stops by to talk about the Dallas Mavericks struggles in close games this season and their desperate need to get Luka Doncic more help. Why is Luka shouldering such an enormous offensive load? Why has the Mavs defense regressed from last season? What is the ideal role for Christian Wood in Dallas?Lastly, Brandon Scott (@Locked On Wizards) jumps in to break down the Washington Wizards going 1-9 over their last 10 games and some off-putting comments from franchise star Bradley Beal. Are the Wizards currently stuck in NBA no-man's land? What do Beal's recent comments say about his commitment to DC? Is it time to rebuild for the Wizards? If so, can they cash in on guys like Kyle Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis?#Pelicans #Mavericks #WizardsSubscribe to the Locked On NBA YouTube Channel: Locked On NBAFollow/Subscribe/Listen Anywhere: linktr.ee/LockedOnNBASupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers: lockedonpodcasts.com/offersBuilt Bar – Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
