Happy Thanksgiving from The Heat Check! Trysta breaks down the latest in the NBA, starting with... the Lakers. Trysta hates it, but somehow they keep pulling off escape acts. She recaps the Lakers–Clippers NBA Cup game, how L.A. went from near collapse to now in great shape, and why nothing about this makes any sense.

Then she dives into the red-hot Detroit Pistons. Cade Cunningham is playing at an All-NBA level, the team is on a massive win streak, and they’re doing it without Jaden Ivey! Detroit basketball might be officially back.

Plus:
• New shocking updates in the NBA gambling scandal
• The Clippers sliding and Ty Lue’s seat getting hotter
• Hornets quietly gauging LaMelo Ball trade value — is it real?

Trysta is joined by Chicago sports voice from 670 The Score Lawrence Holmes to talk everything happening across the NBA. They dive deep into the Bulls up and down start, why Lawrence hasn’t missed LeBron, and what makes the Pistons surprisingly deep this season.

They discuss whether the Sixers are actually legitimate contenders, compare the top of the East vs. the West, and rave about just how ridiculously good Nikola Jokic continues to be. Lawrence also makes the case for why the Houston Rockets are LEGIT and the two break down the biggest surprises, disappointments, and storylines from the early NBA season.

On this episode of Heat Check, Trysta officially enters NBA reality-check season... We’re far enough into the schedule to know who’s legit and who’s fooling everybody.

She breaks down whether the Sixers are slipping, why the Bulls are still mid, and how the Warriors crashed back to .500 after a hot start. Then it’s over to Atlanta, where Trae Young is hurt, Jalen Johnson is thriving, and the Hawks suddenly have the second-best defense in the NBA… without Trae. Should they actually consider trading him?

Trysta also dives into the Magic’s scoring problems, Tyus Jones’ shocking scoreless stretch, whether the Jazz and Lauri Markkanen are secretly good, and the play heard around the world: Wemby dunking on Draymond… followed by Wemby’s calf strain that could sideline him for weeks.

Plus: the Pelicans fire Willie Green, Zion is injured again, and New Orleans looks like a full organizational mess with the league’s worst record.
