Jaylen Brown, Lauri Markkanen headline Monday's high-flyers featuring several Dunk of the Year contenders

There was something in the water around the NBA today, with the nine-game slate delivering a plethora of Dunk of the Year contenders.

We're not even a week into the season.

Featuring the usual suspects in Jaylen Brown, Miles Bridges and John Collins to a surprise slam from Lauri Markkannen, Monday's action made for a mean mixtape.
