ODDBALL - Giannis Fakes Out Jaylen Brown, Cavs Hot Streak, Jokic an MVP Lock?

While Amin is away, friend of the show Israel Gutierrez joins Charlotte as co-host. Giannis Antetokounmpo taunted Jaylen Brown with the "too slow" move, prompting Brown to call him a "child" in the post-game interview. Giannis insists he’s just having fun. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers remain undefeated 11 games into the season, and with the Warriors playing like a top team in the West, Izzy and Charlotte wonder if it feels like 2016 all over again. JJ Redick is holding his own in his first head coaching role, but he’s struggling to control his emotions—especially when D'Angelo Russell takes questionable shots. The Nuggets are back on track, thanks to Nikola Jokic’s historically great start to the season. After recapping the latest NBA injuries, Charlotte and Izzy bring back Hot Streak to share their thoughts on the DraftKings odds for Klay Thompson's return to Golden State as the Mavericks and Warriors kick off the Emirates NBA Cup opening round.
