## Resource

It’s Thursday boys and we have an absolutely epic night on the sports calendar. We start off in the NBA. The Knicks go to Atlanta with the series tied 1-1 with an absolutely MASSIVE Game 3 coming up. Then we got the Raptors, who look like they’re on a one way trip to Cancun trying to stay alive back in Toronto against Cleveland. Top things off with Nuggets vs Timberwolves with both teams trying to take a strangle hold on the series. Then we break down our favorite plays for the NFL Draft. Fernando Mendoza? Jeremiyah Love? Giants two picks in the Top 10? Ty Simpson where will he go? We break it down. Hop in with a lock. Time to make some money. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
