Today's word of the day is ‘onward' as in the NBA playoffs as in the Pistons as in the Cavaliers as in 76ers. We had a couple of Game 7s and they all delivered. Two different teams came back from 3-1 deficits! Only 15 teams have ever done that and two happened on back to back nights! We start with what happened with the Nuggets though. A Jokic-led team blew it against a Timberwolves team without its three leading scorers! (8:00) The Boston Celtics blew a 3-1 lead at home! Joel Embiid was too big, too strong, too good. Jaylen Brown decided to have a livestream on Sunday and he went off on the referees. He went off on flopping. It was quite something. (23:20) The Orlando Magic fell apart. Another 3-1 lead. Another collapse. Never seen anything like Game 6. Credit to the Pistons for battling back. (31:30) One more thing about stadium planning! (35:00) The Cavaliers won their Game 7. Played against a Raptors team without Brandon Ingram and were too much. (39:00) Review: Crime 101. (41:30) NPPOD. (45:30) Miami is out of the Super Bowl rotation. A city that has hosted 11 Super Bowls. No more. Why? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for the May 1 edition of Cash That Ticket, and the slate is as loaded as any Friday of the playoffs. The show opens with a full Thursday night recap after Minnesota eliminated Denver in six games, with Jaden McDaniels going for a career-high 32 points and 10 rebounds while Terrence Shannon Jr. added 24 in a starting role forced by a three-guard injury pile that left the Timberwolves shorthanded going into the clincher. Jamal Murray shot 4-of-17, finished with 12 points and four assists, and the Nuggets are done. Minnesota advances to face San Antonio on Monday. The Knicks destroyed Atlanta 140-89 on a night where the Hawks never threatened, and Philadelphia beat Boston to force a Saturday Game 7 in the Eastern Conference. Then the guys get into tonight's three elimination games and that is where the real work begins. In Orlando, the Magic are catching four points at home against Detroit in a game where Franz Wagner is out and the Pistons are laying points for the first time in the series on the road in a must-win spot for the home team. Dave likes the Magic plus four and the under at 210. Munaf builds a detailed case for Desmond Bane over 2.5 three-pointers made at plus-117 on DraftKings, citing three consecutive games with three-plus threes, five-plus threes in both Orlando home games, 8.83 attempts per game from deep, and 35-plus minutes of run with Wagner sidelined. In Toronto, Cleveland has never won on the road in this series and the Raptors outplayed the Cavaliers in every stat but three-point shooting in Game 5, losing by five while outrebounding Cleveland by 13 and posting 32 assists to Cleveland's 20. Brandon Ingram moves to doubtful mid-show and the line shifts a full point across every book, but both Dave and Munaf had already made their call on Toronto at plus points before the downgrade was official. In Houston, the Rockets try to force a Game 7 without Kevin Durant, who is out again with a bone bruise in his ankle. LeBron James is 41 and playing six games in thirteen days on the road. Austin Reeves is back but has become a defensive liability. Reed Sheppard had his coming-out moments in Game 5. Amen Thompson is playing like a seasoned postseason veteran. Dave and Munaf both land on Houston to cover and the under at 205.5, noting that three of five games in this series have finished at 205 or below. The MLB card gets a full breakdown too, with Dave delivering his best bet of the year candidate in the Red Sox team total over 4.5 runs against Mike Burrows and the porous Astros bullpen at Fenway Park. Munaf adds the Royals at Mariners under with Cole Ragans and Bryan Woo on the mound as his cleaner baseball play. There is also discussion of the Dodgers at St. Louis under, the Twins team total against Patrick Corbin, the White Sox run line against San Diego, and whether Shane McClanahan at minus-150 is worth it against San Francisco. All this plus the Pregame.com promo code HIT20 for twenty dollars off a thirty-day MLB all-access package at one hundred and nineteen dollars, and a Monday preview that will bring the official April best bets recap, second-round series previews, and the full Timberwolves versus Spurs Game 1 breakdown.
