00:00All right, let's check out the Western Conference standings and the odds to make the playoffs of the

00:03FanDuel Sportsbook, Gilbert. And certainly we've seen a complete flip. Dallas and Phoenix now at

00:08the bottom. Golden State has moved up into a position where you know they're going to get in,

00:12and you know, certainly Sacramento, even though they lost last night, they've been the beneficiary

00:16of the struggling Mavericks and Suns. So needless to say, it looks like Dallas is in a free fall

00:20here. They're probably going to fall, I would guess, below 10. Do you see any other teams

00:25jumping in, or does this kind of feel like the way it's going to end at this point?

00:29It does feel like this is the way it's going, and I'm very curious to see if Phoenix can make

00:34up that ground with Dallas. Dallas actually got a win last night, and as we mentioned, Phoenix

00:38wasn't able to get over the hump in Memphis last night. So Phoenix, I think, is going to be a

00:42little bit more difficult for them to kind of make that push. Now granted, I don't think either of

00:46those teams are going to get any wins in the play-in tournament, so it does kind of feel like

00:50those top nine teams are going to be vying for those eight spots, and it does feel pretty secure

00:54there. Golden State jostling for position with the Clippers and the Timberwolves is going to be

00:59very interesting to see how that plays out, but when it comes down to the second half of it,

01:03I think Sacramento is the only team that maybe could make a push to get into the top eight

01:07and maybe upset some of those teams, but it does feel like the top eight is going to be

01:11set one way or another.
