Kings No. 3 Seed Behind Fox, Sabonis | Pacers Lose 7 Straight With Haliburton Absence | OKC Thunder Play-in Tournament Bound?

Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Matt George (@Locked On Kings) to discuss how the Sacramento Kings have climbed to the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference and found offensive success through the duo of De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. What have been the keys to unlocking the second best offense in the NBA? How has Fox been so effective in the clutch? Looking back on the Sabonis-Haliburton trade, how much of a win-win was it for both franchises?

Then Tony East (@Locked On Pacers) jumps on to break down why the Indiana Pacers have lost 7 straight games without Tyrese Haliburton and how Haliburton's extended absence may impact the moves made at the NBA Trade Deadline. What's the current timetable on Haliburton? Where do the Pacers currently miss Haliburton the most? Who has Rick Carlisle leaned on in Haliburton's absence? What can be done to right the ship? Will the Pacers be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline?

Lastly Rylan Stiles (@Locked On Thunder) swings by to explain how the OKC Thunder look like they might be NBA play-in tournament bound this season behind some incredible play from star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and how the rest of the young core is progressing. Are the Thunder making a push for the play-in? What's the biggest leap SGA has taken this season? How has Josh Giddey evolved as a scorer? What has impressed the most about rookie Jaylen Williams? How do you weigh the benefits of a play-in or playoff experience vs. bottoming out and having another chance at a top draft pick?
