We have a jam-packed episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!

First, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones continue dissecting first-round playoff action! They salute the Timberwolves and Knicks for winning their series, examine what's next for the Nuggets and Hawks, then share what they'll be looking for as the first round comes to a close this weekend.

From there, the guys shift to the WNBA to talk through more preseason action!

Azzi Fudd makes her preseason debut as she, Paige Bueckers and the new-look Dallas Wings take on the Caitlin Clark-led Indiana Fever. The guys discuss how the Wings looked to attack, the usage of Bueckers and Fudd within the high-paced offense, and some early returns on the Wings' defense. Clark's comfort inside the arc -- as a driver and mid-range scorer -- popped in this one for the Fever. How scary can they be when Aliyah Boston re-enters the equation?

Angel Reese also made her preseason debut with the Atlanta Dream, returning to her old stomping grounds to take on the Chicago Sky. The context around Reese is different, as was her usage. The guys discuss the positives of those shifts on both ends of the floor, and how Reese can become even more impactful as she gains more reps within the new system.

We finally got a look at the Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire. Nekias and Steve talk through the early returns of their foundations -- spacing, defensive activity, and overall empowerment. There's a lot to like and build on!

From there, the guys shift to the WNBA to talk through the early returns of preseason action!

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever wowed with their tempo, while the early returns of the Liberty's spacing tweaks were encouraging. We got the debuts of Ariel Atkins (Sparks), Rickea Jackson (Sky), Chennedy Carter (Aces) and others.

The rookies also made strong impressions! From lottery picks like Olivia Miles (Lynx), Lauren Betts (Mystics), and Gabriela Jaquez (Sky), to other first rounders like Flau'jae Johnson (Storm), Raven Johnson (Fever) and Cotie McMahon (Mystics); even later picks like Ta'Niya Latson (Sparks) and Rori Harmson (Mystics) had an impactful run.
