Today's episode is brought you by fan duel right now new customers can bet just five dollars and if your bet wins you'll get three hundred dollars and bonus bets to use across the app head to fanduel dot com to get started i'm west goldberg in a minute we're going to decide who is the scariest player in the NBA before we look ahead to the very first NBA cup night we're're doing it with the help of lockdown's local experts. I have two of the best with me as always from the Lockdown Nuggets podcast. He's a senior NBA writer over at the Action Network. It's Matt Moore. Matt, happy Halloween. It's my favorite day of the year where all parents get the steal from their children as we take their candy mercilessly. Because by God, that is not theirs. That is our candy. Those Reese's peanut butter cups are going in dad's pile. That's what's happening right now. From the Lockdown Bulls podcast, also a Bears and Bulls creator for Bleach report, it's Hayes. Hayes, what is the best Halloween candy?

Ooh, Snickers still. I mean, Snickers is the best candy period. So I'm always going to rock with Snickers or Sour Patch Kids. Those are the two. These are all goaded answers. My only thing with Snickers, why do Milky Way exist? Because Snickers is just Milky Way with peanuts. It's better. It's just, it's better in every way why do we even have the

milky way but rizs peanut butter cup is the highest selling i just found this out the highest selling

Halloween candy that there is makes sense uh i think the other thing when i when i was a kid like

gummy bears were not an option like you would never get going now you have like all these packages

of gummy bears which i think it's just like it just goes to show you that society can get better if we choose.

A friend of mine was telling me that he went to Halloween last year and in addition to

candy for the kids, dads were handing out beers at the door, which I think is also just a great

pro move. It is Halloween. And to celebrate, we've got some spooky segments that we're going to get to, including a draft of the scariest players in the NBA. But first, it's time for a game of trick or treat. I'll ask you guys about some of the things that are trending in the league right now, and you're going to tell me if they're real, a treat, or if they're fake, a trick. Easy enough. Let's start with the 76ers who are 4 and 0 despite a limited version of Joel and Bede.

Still know Paul George, but they are being led by their back court of Tyrese and rookie VJ Edgecombe.

So we asked locked on 76ers if they think that this start is a trick or a treat.

Are the Philadelphia 76ers tricking or treating their fan base?
