Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA playoff betting. The guys also give out best bets. This episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview: NBA Playoff Edition with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers provides an in-depth analysis of two critical NBA playoff matchups: Knicks vs. Pacers Game 4 and Thunder vs. Timberwolves Game 5. The conversation opens with a reflection on Game 3, where the Knicks overcame a 20-point deficit to win. This turnaround stemmed from strategic adjustments—starting Mitchell Robinson and bringing Josh Hart off the bench—allowing New York to clamp down on Indiana's offense. Jalen Brunson struggled with foul trouble and inefficiency, contributing just six field goals on 18 attempts and a single assist. Despite his limited impact, the Knicks held Indiana to only 42 second-half points, a stark contrast to the Pacers' usual offensive rhythm. Hart's late-game rebounds and composure at the free-throw line stood out, and Towns' fourth-quarter scoring lifted the team to its first win of the series. Mackenzie discussed RJ Bell's "fourth quarter win share," an advanced stat favoring teams with strong late-game control, suggesting the Knicks had been more dominant across multiple quarters despite their earlier losses. Looking to Game 4, the hosts note the Pacers as 2.5-point home favorites with a 220.5 total. Mackenzie and Munaf favor the Knicks and the under, emphasizing that a defensive-focused Knicks approach correlates strongly with low-scoring games. Brunson's role is expected to shift toward playmaking, reducing his shot volume. His under 29.5 points prop is Mackenzie's best bet, backed by historical splits where he's gone under this line 20 times versus 19 overs. Meanwhile, Towns is averaging over 25 points and 11 rebounds per game in the series and is projected to exceed both point and rebound props. Transitioning to the Thunder-Timberwolves series, OKC leads 3-1. Game 3 saw a dominant Timberwolves blowout, but OKC rebounded in Game 4 behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 40-point near triple-double and key support from Jalen Williams and the bench. SGA's leadership was pivotal—his late-game assists demonstrated poise under pressure. Mackenzie praised SGA's situational IQ and contrasted it with Anthony Edwards' passive play. Edwards is averaging only 17 FGA per game, the lowest of his postseason career, and scored just 24 PPG despite efficient shooting. Postgame, he deflected criticism, saying he didn't struggle because he didn't take enough shots. Mackenzie critiqued this mindset, calling for Edwards to embrace higher usage when it matters most. With SGA elevating his impact and Edwards retreating, Mackenzie believes the Thunder's edge in leadership and strategy is decisive. In Game 5, OKC is an 8.5-point favorite. Munaf's best bet is the Thunder team total over 114.5, citing strong home scoring trends. SGA's over 6.5 assists is another key angle, supported by three overs in four games and an average of 8.5 APG. The Thunder have shot below their season average from three, suggesting positive regression is likely at home. Mackenzie projects a potential 120–102 OKC win and predicts they'll close the series. The hosts close with futures discussion, noting the NBA's growing parity. The Thunder are +225 favorites for next season, while teams like the Knicks, Pacers, Cavs, and Wolves range from 8/1 to 12/1. Mackenzie emphasizes the historical rarity of such dispersed odds beyond the top team. He speculates Giannis may be traded, naming the Knicks and Rockets as possible destinations. He lauds Sam Presti's roster-building and envisions OKC as a possible dynasty. In conclusion, Munaf and Mackenzie agree the Finals might be lopsided but promise strong betting value through derivatives and props. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's Tuesday's with Tony Allen presented by ESCO. TA joins the show live from Los Angeles and they'll spend the first hour talking about the Thunder going up 3-1 on the Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards not having an impact offensively, SGA and the multiple ways he beats you, the legend he compares to, Minnesota leaving Jalen Williams wide open, the growth of Chet (3:00) and then they'll go into Pacers/Knicks including if the Knicks were better without Brunson, Aaron Nesmith's ankle injury, KAT's 4th quarter in Game 3 and if the Pacers respond tonight (49:35). We'll catch up on some stuff we missed late last week/yesterday including Jaren Jackson Jr missing All-NBA and if we think he'll just play out the final year of his contract (1:17:32), PJ Haggerty transferring to Kansas State (1:23:54) and the new HBO Documentary on Pee Wee Herman called "Pee Wee As Himself" (1:30:50)

The Knicks took Game 3 on Sunday, with Brunson and Hart leading the charge. They look to continue their road winning streak tonight in Indiana, where Tyrese Haliburton's dad will be in attendance. Jerry provided an update, noting Charles Barkley had counted the Knicks out when they were down 13. In baseball, the Yankees defeated the Angels, and the Mets beat the White Sox on a Francisco Lindor sac fly. Gio avoided the norovirus, unlike his daughter, and Stephen Waldron is out due to an appendectomy. Finally, Pablo Torre rented the Airbnb where the Bill Belichick Ring camera footage was taken.

Jerry starts with Charles Barkley thinking the Knicks were finished when they were down 13. Brunson was asked about the criticism of Thibs. The Yankees beat the Angels after beating the Rockies over the weekend. The Mets beat the White Sox as Francisco Lindor hit a sac fly to win it in the ninth.

You want Knicks talk before the big game tonight? Here it is. The Knicks took game three on Sunday night. And the two biggest guys that came through at the end of the game were Brunson and Hart. The Knicks have been winning on the road and will try to do so again tonight in Indiana.

Hour 1 The Knicks took Game 3 on Sunday, with Brunson and Hart leading the charge. They look to continue their road winning streak tonight in Indiana, where Tyrese Haliburton's dad will be in attendance. Jerry provided an update, noting Charles Barkley had counted the Knicks out when they were down 13. In baseball, the Yankees defeated the Angels, and the Mets beat the White Sox on a Francisco Lindor sac fly. Gio avoided the norovirus, unlike his daughter, and Stephen Waldron is out due to an appendectomy. Finally, Pablo Torre rented the Airbnb where the Bill Belichick Ring camera footage was taken. Hour 2 Tonight is Game 4 for the Knicks and Pacers and calls came in about people surprisingly wanting the Knicks coach fired, despite their run to the Eastern Conference Finals. Jerry provided an update with OG Anunoby on the Knicks' Game 3 win, and Kevin Harlan's funny "I'm wet, I'm dirty" comment from Game 2. Bill Simmons had Jon Stewart on his podcast where they talked about WFAN, Mike & The Maddog, and "two bald guys." The Yankees beat the Angels thanks to an Anthony Volpe bases-clearing double, making them 13 games over .500, and the Mets won on a Francisco Lindor sac fly, with Gary Cohen on the call. There were also furries in the crowd. Finally they discussed the missing Larry Johnson 4-point ball and more about the furries. Hour 3 Tonight's Knicks-Pacers Game 4 is being hyped as another "biggest game in 25 years." A caller who caught Boomer's football from Friday weighed in, and questions arose about how "furries" got into Citi Field. Jerry's update covered the Knicks-Pacers preview and the Thunder's 3-1 series lead over the T-Wolves. The Yankees beat the Angels again, with Anthony Volpe hitting a 3-run double, as heard on Dave Sims's call. Jerry also shared audio from an Australian radio show about short-lived marriages. The Mets secured their third straight win. A caller even wondered if Phil Simms is a fox furry. The hour concluded with talk of the "Kickoff To Summer" with Chris Lane and more anticipation for the Knicks game. Hour 4 The Jets reportedly wanted to keep the "tush push," potentially for Justin Fields. Gio's contacts found the Brett Favre documentary disappointing, and he wondered about the vanished NJ drones. The conversation then shifted to numerous calls about the Knicks-Pacers game. Jerry's final update included Coach Thibs discussing the Knicks' Sunday comeback. A young fan subtly asked Aaron Rodgers about playing for the Bears, while Joe Burrow preferred an international game over more Baltimore primetime matchups. The Yankees beat the Angels with a Volpe bases-clearing double, and the Mets won against the White Sox on a Lindor sac fly. The "Moment of The Day" involved furry talk with Eddie and Phil Simms. The show concluded with discussions about the high-rated, commercial-heavy Indy 500 and the lengthy challenge reviews in NBA playoff games.

For the first time in 25 years, the Knicks won an ECF game. Karl-Anthony Towns played like garbage in the first three quarters, but then he put up 20 points in the fourth. Has any other NBA player redeemed themselves in a single quarter like KAT did? Tom Thibodeau is being hailed as the Knicks savior for finally using his bench... but would he have done it if KAT and Brunson hadn't gotten into foul trouble? Is Haliburton aura farming? No championship team has lost a playoff game by 40+ points until the Thunder lost to the T-Wolves, so they can't win a championship… or can they?

Verno and Jacoby return to break down the Nuggets' Game 7 loss and preview the start of the Western Conference finals between the Timberwolves and Thunder. They discuss how the Thunder can continue their championship run, debate whether people are still not giving enough credit to the Wolves for making back-to-back conference finals, and talk about who the best player in this series will be. Next, the guys discuss the rapidly growing rivalry between Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers and Jalen Brunson and the Knicks as they eagerly await Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. They discuss Karl-Anthony Towns's role in the series, Andrew Nembhard's shooting, why Haliburton's up-and-down performances won't matter as much, and why having Brunson feels like having Mariano Rivera.

Boomer feels the Knicks are still disrespected despite being series favorites and second favorites for the championship. Gio believes the animosity is directed at the fan base, not players like Jalen Brunson or Mikal Bridges. Jerry provided an update, starting with Juan Soto's explanation for his slow hustle on a ball hit off the Green Monster. The "All The Smoke" podcast reportedly dislikes the Knicks due to their fans, though Brian Windhorst on the Dan Patrick show highlighted the Knicks reaching the finals, especially the Brunson storyline, as compelling. Shaq recalled David Stearns asking his preferred draft location, choosing Orlando for its warm climate. In a surprising twist, the "All The Smoke" podcast later praised the Knicks' organ player.

Hour 1 The Mets lost to Boston, with much of the focus on Juan Soto's lack of hustle after hitting a single. Rumors suggest Soto is unhappy with the Mets, preferring the Yankees, and some in the organization are concerned. Pete Alonso also had a poor throwing error. Jerry's update covered the Mets' loss and Carlos Mendoza's discussion of hitting with runners in scoring position. Soto defended his effort when questioned about his slow start out of the box. Tyrese Haliburton expressed excitement about playing at MSG, despite an incident where Knicks fans threw trash at a Pacers fan, prompting Haliburton to invite the fan to Indiana for Game 4. Finally, the NFL is reportedly allowing players to participate in Olympic flag football in 2028. Hour 2 Boomer feels the Knicks are still disrespected despite being series favorites and second favorites for the championship. Gio believes the animosity is directed at the fan base, not players like Jalen Brunson or Mikal Bridges. Jerry provided an update, starting with Juan Soto's explanation for his slow hustle on a ball hit off the Green Monster. The "All The Smoke" podcast reportedly dislikes the Knicks due to their fans, though Brian Windhorst on the Dan Patrick show highlighted the Knicks reaching the finals, especially the Brunson storyline, as compelling. Shaq recalled David Stearns asking his preferred draft location, choosing Orlando for its warm climate. In a surprising twist, the "All The Smoke" podcast later praised the Knicks' organ player. Hour 3 Concerns are reportedly growing within the Mets organization about Juan Soto's unhappiness, which seemed evident in his performance against the Yankees. Calls poured in discussing Soto's struggles and attitude. Boomer also contrasted Caitlyn Clark as a "needle mover" with Soto as a "negative needle mover." Jerry then played audio of Pete Alonso's errant throw to Senga, and Frank The Tank had another outburst after the Mets' loss. The segment concluded with a cameraman from the Discovery Channel's "Storm Chasers," sparking Gio's desire to witness a tornado. Hour 4 Discussion centered on Juan Soto's "perks" with the Mets, leading to a tangent about the availability and use of "nudie magazines" at airports and in the WFAN bathroom. Jerry's final update included sounds of the Mets' loss in Boston, highlighting Soto's single after misjudging a ball off the Green Monster.
