Welcome everyone! We have a nice four game slate on our hands for today. I know everyone will be focused on the NFL slate but don't forget about the NBA games being played. One matchup certainly stands out more than the others!

 

 

Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks are heading to twister country in Oklahoma. Shai Gilgeous Alexander will try to stop the fast paced Atlanta Hawks. The pace in this game will be wild.
