Action Network NBA senior writer Matt Moore (@HPBasketball) brings Albert Nguyen (@AnalyticsCapper) on to break down the weekend in the NBA from an awards perspective on this episode of Buckets!

The Rookies are on fire to start the year and while Paolo Banchero is a tank, Bennedict Mathurin and Jaden Ivey are firing out of the gate. Where’s the best value to bet on Rookie of the Year and is Banchero appropriately priced?

Then, they do the MIC check with the Most Important Covers of the weekend, including the Sixers going to 0-3 and how bad things are going to get. Are the Jazz sustainable and how do you bet them before the market catches up? Plus, yeesh, the Lakers. Then they do a round if 'If You Had To Bet' on the awards markets to get a sense on where the way-too-early value is.
