Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily, presented by Amazon Prime for February 2nd,

2026. I'm Dave Before here with Zena Keda and S. Berraheny. Coming up, the Thunder get a big

win over the Nuggets, even though Yokic was back. We're going to talk about that. The All-Star reserves are out. Who got yokech was back we're going to talk about

that the all-star reserves are out who got snubbed and we're going to talk about some trades that

happened over the weekend good morning everybody what's up guys hope you had a good weekend good

morning morning dave how are you happy black

i'm not too bad um heck of a game we got last night at least the matchup right um the thunder

looked pretty good they pick up the win 121 11 guys this was a game where shea gild Gildes Alexander came out looking like he was trying to

seal the deal on the MVP award. And frankly, I don't know, he might have. He dominated the nuggets.

I mean, every single time, they had blankets on him, guys. And he somehow was still hitting shots. shots hit a ridiculous shot from his butt this guy he was he was on another level last night he also what i love most is that while he was providing assists and also finding his own shot it was just his gravity was on display right just how many guys he pulled which allowed case and wallss to go off, which allowed Isaiah Joe to get those open threes. Like, that to me is another way you showcase why you are the most valuable player on your team or in the league is just how much attention you draw and how much you open up just by existing out on the court. Yeah, it looked like he kind of wrapped up those three letters.

I don't know.

I don't know. We might have to give Yokic a little time to get acclimated. Exactly. It's not that long left, though, S. No, you're right. Yokic, he missed a bunch of games and that's going to work against him. I know. That's true. I believe that that's stamped in the passport, right?

Absolutely.

Yeah.

But anyway, so he had 34 points.

13. I know. I believe that that's stamped in the passport, right?

Absolutely.

Yeah.

But anyway, so he had 34 points, 13 assists.

And, you know, to your point about the gravity, the, the Thunder were 19 of 48 from three.

And as we hit, we hit this, right? All these teams with the math problem.

And they did the math last night, right?
