Ja Morant reminded everyone last night how awesome basketball is when you get to watch him PLAY basketball and his incredible buzzer beater win against the Pelicans. But don't sleep on Steph Curry and his ability to say "night night" to the Celtics and all the hater talk that the Warriors' dynasty is on the ropes. Plus, WORD COUNT WEDNESDAY settles on who is the main "Tyrese" of the league, why the Oklahoma City Thunder are FOR REAL with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Charlotte has some words for Emily Ratajkowski being denied her courtside Knicks tickets...

Draymond Green is probably miserable and mad as hell right now and it's not because of what you're thinking. As players around the league express their concern for Draymond - yes, even Rudy Gobert - Amin and Charlotte look at the latest coverage and insight from ESPN's Ramona Shelbourne. Amin pays tribute to Hall of Famer George McGinnis, who passed away at age 73, and is one of the great pioneers of the game from the underappreciated ABA that made the NBA what it is today. After a dramatic and emotional week in the NBA, we could all use a little HYPE ME UP... especially the very tired new father, Luka Doncic. Plus, we're more than a quarter of the way into this season and some teams are living up to the hype, some are already disappointing, and a few have far exceeded expectations... Amin and Charlotte make their selections in BANK, BUST OR BOTH? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A mystery is afoot in the NBA: did Giannis get the official game ball from his career high and Bucks franchise record 64 points or is the real one in the hands of Pacers' rookie, Oscar Tshiebwe? The details of the real ball's whereabouts may be as uncertain as Draymond Green's return to the court after being suspended indefinitely. Meanwhile, Charlotte and Amin take a look at the other side of the Warriors future when it comes to Klay Thompson's rejected contract offer. Then, Oddball introduces a new game that pops... AGENDA REVEAL PARTY. Yes, the fear is real for Amin & Charlotte. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Suspension? Certainly. But will anything change for Draymond Green going forward after being ejected last night for flailing and hitting the Phoenix Suns Jusuf Nurkic? Sorry, not sorry, for what Amin and Charlotte have to say about it. Plus, Draymond wasn't the only one ejected last night as Nikola Jokic received an unwelcome goodbye against the Bulls on Serbian Heritage Night in Chicago. What's the latest in Ja Morant's lawsuit and his claim of self-defense? And the Wizards are moving where now? Charlotte and Amin try to figure out the strange decision behind Ted Leonsis' plans to move the Wizards to Virginia. Don't forget, it's Wednesday, which means WORD COUNT. Should D'Angelo Russell stay with the Lakers? Where's the best fit for Pascal Siakam and which team at the bottom can hope to avoid the title of "worst team in the league"... let's get counting!

Luka Doncic had a triple-double (by the first half!) in the Mavericks' 50 point win against the Utah Jazz while Nikola Jokic recorded his 128th triple-double against the Clippers... and yet the Nuggets' loss.
