Matt Stroup and Ryan Knaus highlight some takeaways from the first week and a half of the NBA season, with Luka Doncic, Robert Covington and Jusuf Nurkic all off to slow starts. We also highlight some ridiculous production from Nikola Jokic, a statistical bonanza from Jerami Grant in Detroit, and impressive work from rookies James Wiseman and LaMelo Ball, who had his breakout game on Wednesday. Plus: a season-long bet on the scoring output of Luguentz Dort, which Matt will probably lose.
