Both Trae Young and Ja Morant sat on Saturday evening's contest, the first of ATL's four consecutive at State Farm Arena. The league-leading scorer off the bench Deandre Hunter will be expected to pick up the slack left behind. Former Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr. and perimeter specialist Desmond Bane pace one of the NBA's hottest teams winning 6 of their last 8 games in the month of December. Memphis currently has the fourth best record in the NBA, second in the Western Conference.

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste elaborate on how and why life looks so much different and easier for Memphis than it does for Atlanta when without its star players including front office decisions to add a reliable backup point guard to the roster and organic feelings regarding ATL's 25 turnover outing

With the past two #1 draft picks hailing from France (Zaccharie Risacher & superstar in the making Vicor Wembanyama), eyes will also be on two of the league's best point guards, Chris Paul and Trae Young in addition to how Atlanta responds after a deep run in the 2nd Annual In-Season Tournament.

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste address the Hawks' energy (or lack thereof) in addition to a slight drop off in their defensive prowess, your personal preference of the various versions of Trae Young, awarding Young for his success en route to being named to the All-Cup Team and likelihood of Young and Jalen Johnson being named to the "new-look" All-Star Game.

And then there were four... one of the hottest teams in the league, the Atlanta Hawks will travel out west to compete against a familiar foe in the Eastern Conference and one they typically have pretty good success against, the Milwaukee Bucks. The two met a little over a week ago, resulting in a win for ATL.

MIL features two of the top scorers in the NBA, Damian Lillard and the league's leading scorer, Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks also add two of the NBA's top 3-point percentage leaders (AJ Green/Taurean Prince), while the Hawks add the league's best in assists and steals (Trae Young/Dyson Daniels).

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste recap Saturday's action, a battle for the In-Season Tournament's Emirates Cup Semifinals including how Atlanta helped Milwaukee secure the win, notice of the traveling Atlanta rabid fan base and a preview of Thursday's matchup versus Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.
