Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler closed out the February schedule on the Cash That Ticket podcast with another winning recap, noting a 2-0 night on Thursday and a combined 19-5 run in best bets for the month, including a perfect 7-0 week to that point. They revisited Manji's Pelicans team total over 123.5 and Essler's Derrick Jones Jr. points prop over 10.5, highlighting lineup news that helped the play and Jones Jr. leading the Clippers with 18 points. The Friday NBA discussion opened with Cleveland at Detroit, a short slate night, where both hosts leaned toward taking the points with the Cavaliers despite Donovan Mitchell being ruled out. Essler cited market movement toward Cleveland and suggested expectations that James Harden and Dennis Schroeder would play, while noting Cleveland's interior defense could blunt Detroit's paint scoring and force more jump shooting. Manji agreed, emphasizing Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen as rim protection anchors, calling the number a stretch for Detroit, and adding an under lean at 227.5 alongside Cleveland plus the points. The second featured matchup was Denver at Oklahoma City, with the Thunder favored by 8.5 and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returning after missing time. Essler acknowledged the “OKC tax” but sided with Denver's value as a road underdog, referencing recent outright wins and competitive results in similar spots, and leaned under, arguing Oklahoma City's defense should hold even if offensive timing was imperfect. Manji also took the points, describing division familiarity and motivation, and pointed to Nikola Jokic rebound and assist related props as potential angles, especially if Jamal Murray were unavailable. The episode then shifted to MLB win totals, starting with Cleveland's 79.5. Essler praised the Guardians' manager and prior overachievement on a low payroll, but argued the roster could regress, questioning the rotation depth behind Gavin Williams and the lineup's run production, and leaning under as other AL Central teams improved. Manji echoed concerns, saying Cleveland's offense has often lagged, that last season's division outcome owed partly to Detroit's stumble, and that the win total could be tight but tilted under. They followed with Arizona's 79.5, where Essler leaned under again, citing pitching uncertainty without Corbin Burns until midseason, concerns about bullpen reliability, and skepticism that additions like Nolan Arenado and Carlos Santana would be enough, especially with age and recent production trends. Manji countered with an over, arguing a change of scenery could help Arenado, that the lineup had recognizable depth, and that Arizona could stay competitive long enough to benefit from Burns returning and possible in-season pitching upgrades. The show delivered a promo code for pregame.com, FastBreak20, for 20 percent off through March 8, and discussed the value of longer-term packages over daily buying given natural variance. For best bets, Essler went with Cameron Johnson over 18.5 PRA in the Denver-OKC game, citing elevated minutes and potential opportunity depending on Murray's status, while Manji backed Boston Celtics first half minus 10.5 versus Brooklyn, citing Boston's bounce-back profile after losses and Brooklyn's back-to-back road situation. They wrapped by reiterating disciplined bankroll management and their focus on providing serious, vetted information even in a free format. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Segment 1, Grant dives into the complicated current state of the LA Clippers. Sitting at 27-30 on the season, the team is at a massive crossroads amid rumors of looming league punishments surrounding the Aspiration scandal, which could potentially void Kawhi Leonard's contract. However, there is a massive silver lining shining at the Intuit Dome: Bennedict Mathurin. Since arriving at the trade deadline, Mathurin has been an absolute revelation, including a 38-point showcase against the Nuggets. Grant breaks down why the 23-year-old's elite isolation scoring proves he can be the franchise's next foundational star. In Segment 2, we shift from the future of LA basketball to its legendary past to honor the "Godfather of Showtime." We hear directly from Pat Riley following the long-awaited unveiling of his 8-foot bronze statue outside Crypto.com Arena. Grant plays the best audio clips from the Star Plaza ceremony, reacting to Riley's moving speech about adversity, the iconic Giorgio Armani suit immortalized in bronze, and the unforgettable moments shared on stage with Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Are the Lakers pretenders or contenders? Arash Markazi and Grant Mona are joined by Mykell Mathieu to break down a packed week in Los Angeles sports. In Segment 1, the guys hold nothing back while dissecting the Lakers' brutal 111-89 blowout loss to the Boston Celtics at Crypto.com Arena. Despite solid scoring nights from Luka Dončić and LeBron James, the Lakers were outhustled and outplayed by Jaylen Brown and Payton Pritchard. The crew discusses the harsh criticism surrounding the team's effort and whether this roster truly has what it takes to compete for a championship this season. In Segment 2, the conversation shifts to the other side of LA. The Clippers shook up the NBA at the trade deadline, shipping out James Harden and defensive anchor Ivica Zubac to get younger with Darius Garland and Bennedict Mathurin. Arash, Grant, and Mykell debate if this was a necessary reset or a massive mistake that leaves Kawhi Leonard on an island for the rest of the season. Finally, we wrap up with the boys in blue! Baseball is officially back, and we've got all the updates from Dodgers Spring Training in Glendale—from Shohei Ohtani throwing live bullpens to the newest additions making an immediate impact.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler head into Friday's card riding momentum after a 2 0 best bet performance, highlighted by South Florida's decisive 21 point win over Memphis and Orlando's explosive turnaround against Sacramento in which the Magic outscored the Kings 113 to 66 over the final three quarters while drilling 27 three pointers. With confidence high, attention shifts to a pair of late NBA matchups beginning with the Clippers visiting the Lakers. Despite the Lakers laying seven and a half points with Luka Doncic set to return, both hosts expressed caution about paying a perceived Lakers premium. The teams rank among the slowest paced in the league, and prior meetings have produced mixed total results. The Clippers enter on the second night of a back to back after poor three point shooting in their previous outing, a factor Essler expects to correct. Manji echoed the sentiment, noting the minimal travel and supporting the Clippers plus the points while also leaning under the total of 225 and a half given pace and recent trends. The nightcap features Denver in Portland with the total climbing above 240. Essler backed the Trail Blazers, citing Denver's road struggles in February, heavy minutes in their prior game, and Portland's continued push for playoff positioning. Manji preferred a split approach, targeting Denver early while playing the full game over based on tempo and recent back to back trends. Player props remain central to both analysts' strategy. Essler's best bet targets Deni Avdija over 34 and a half points rebounds and assists, pointing to his recent production and the likelihood of elevated scoring in a high total environment. Manji counters with Jalen Johnson over 43 and a half PRA in Atlanta's matchup with Miami, emphasizing the fast pace shared by both teams and Johnson's consistent minutes and prior success against the Heat. The discussion also continued their MLB season win total preview. Both agreed on the White Sox over 66 and a half wins, noting last year's modest negative run differential, bullpen reinforcements, and realistic path to incremental improvement in a competitive but manageable division. The Miami Marlins generated debate. Essler favored the over 72 and a half, citing strong front line pitching and promising young talent, while Manji leaned under due to divisional strength and the possibility of midseason trades should the club stumble early. As the NBA resumes full stride and baseball season approaches, the duo remains focused on disciplined value, careful market observation, and selective aggression in both sides and props.
