Tuesday's podcast explores the parameters, including why new three-year contracts for VanVleet (around $90 to $100 million, in total) and Adams ($40 to $45 million, in total) could be the sweet spot for both the player and team.

Potacast'in yeni bölümünde Kaan Kural ve Orkun Çolakoğlu Play-Off'larda ikinci maçların tamamlanmasının ardından mikrofon başına geçiyor. Her zamanki gibi Doğu Konferansı eşleşmelerinin değerlendirilmesiyle başlayan sohbette ilk olarak Cleveland Cavaliers-Miami Heat eşleşmesi konuşuluyor. Cleveland'ın sezon boyunca ortaya koyduğu hücum standartının şimdiye kadar Miami Heat'i ne kadar zorladığı ve Cavaliers'ta Donovan Mitchell'ın performansının konuşulmasının ardından Jimmy Butler'ın ayrılığı sonrası nasıl bir Play-Off geçireceği merak edilen Heat'te Tyler Herro ve Davion Mitchell'ın takıma kattıkları mercek altına alınıyor. Ardından Boston Celtics-Orlando Magic eşleşmesi ile sohbet devam ediyor. Magic'in Franz Wagner ve Paolo Banchero haricinde hücumda eksiklik hissetmesi ve skor üretememesinin Boston açısından işleri nasıl kolaylaştırdığı, serinin ikinci maçında Jason Tatum'un yokluğunda Jaylen Brown'un performansı ve iki takım arasındaki kadro kalitesinin incelenmeisnin ardından Konferansın "old school" eşleşmesi olan New York Knicks-Detroit Pistons eşleşmesine geçiliyor. Pistons'ta Malik Beasley ve Dennis Schröder'in performanslarının Cade Cunningham'i rahatlatması, New York Knicks'in kısıtlı rotasyonla oynaması ve ikinci maçtaki zayıf hücum performansının konuşulmasıyla birlikte Doğu Konferansı'nın son eşleşmesi olan Indiana Pacers-Milwaukee Bucks eşleşmesi masaya yatırılıyor. Indiana'da özellikle Andrew Nembhard'ın kendinden emin oyun karakterinin Tyrese Haliburton'ın yaratıcılığıyla birleşmesinin, Damian Lillard'ın yokluğunda Bucks'a adeta tek başına liderlik etmek durumunda kalan Giannis Antetokounmpo'yu nasıl etkilediği konuşulan konular arasında.    Ardından Batı Konferansı değerlendirmelerine geçiliyor. Oklahoma City Thunder ve Memphis Grizzlies eşleşmesinde, Grizzlies'in son Play-In maçından 36 saat sonra Thunder deplasmanına çıkmasındaki şanssızlık ve takımlar arasındaki kalite farkının üstünde duruluyor. Scottie Pippen Jr'ın Shai Gilgeous-Alexander'a yönelik savunmasının övgüleri toplamasının ardından Houston Rockets-Golden State Warriors eşleşmesi ile sohbet devam ediyor. Warriors'ta özellike Jimmy Butler'ın sakatlığının ikinci maçın kaybedilmesindeki nedenlerden biri olduğu, ilk maçta beklenti altında kalan Jalen Green'in ikinci maçta iyi bir performans göstermesi ve Rockets'ta henüz istenen katkılı veremeyen Fred Van Vleet ve Amen Thompson'ın performanslarının maçlar üzerindeki etkisi hakkındaki saptamaların ardından Los Angeles Lakers-Minnesota Timberwolves eşleşmesi ile devam ediliyor. Jaden McDaniels ve Anthony Edwards'ın performanslarının karşısında Lakers cephesinde Luka Doncic'in performansı, yine Lakers'ın Jaxson Hayes'e seride az süre vermek zorunda olması ve bu eşleşmenin Rockets-Warriors eşleşmesine yönelik benzerliklerinin konuşulmasıyla programın son bölümü şu ana kadarki en heyecanlı eşleşme olarak ön plana çıkan Los Angeles Clippers-Denver Nuggets mücadelesine ayrılıyor. Seride oynanan iki maçın da kaderini son topların belirlemesi, Clippers'ın Harden-Zubac üzerinden kurguladığı Pick&Roll oyununu Kawhi Leonard ile desteklemesi, Denver'da Michael Porter Jr. ve Aaron Gordon'un performansları bu bölümde değerlendiriliyor. İkinci maçta hayal kırıklığına yaratan performansına rağmen maçı triple doube ile maçı bitiren Nikola Jokic ve uzun süre hafızalardan silinmeyecek "Prime" Kawhi Leonard performansı... Hepsi ve daha fazlası bu bölümde!

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for Wednesday. The guys are ramping up for the NBA stretch run and provide best bets. The latest episode of the NBA podcast on RJ Bell's Dream Preview, hosted by Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers, covers key NBA topics as the regular season nears its end. With around 16–17 games left, they discuss team performances, injuries, and betting angles for the Lakers, Bucks, Thunder, Celtics, Suns, Rockets, Timberwolves, and Nuggets. The Lakers' situation is a focal point, especially LeBron James' groin injury, sidelining him for 1–2 weeks. Mackenzie, holding an under 49.5 wins bet on the Lakers, sees hope as they've lost to the Celtics and Nets. With a tough schedule ahead, including games against the Thunder, Bucks, and Nuggets, he believes they may struggle to reach 50 wins despite improving as a team. Shifting to the Bucks, Milwaukee holds a 36–27 record with the sixth-hardest remaining schedule, including key matchups against contenders. Mackenzie projects them to surpass 46.5 wins and sees playoff potential, though he doubts they can challenge Boston or Cleveland. He also critiques the Kyle Kuzma trade, questioning whether he improves the team over Khris Middleton. The episode highlights a marquee matchup between the Thunder and Celtics. Boston is a 4.5-point favorite, but Mackenzie argues Oklahoma City has been the better team. He points to Boston's weak home-court advantage and statistical inferiority, supporting a bet on the Thunder. Munaf notes Oklahoma City's impressive 24-7 road record and believes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will exploit Boston's defense. The Suns' fading playoff hopes are another focus. With chemistry concerns, including reports of Kevin Durant's frustration, Phoenix struggles to stay competitive. Sitting outside the play-in tournament, they must overtake the struggling Mavericks. However, Munaf and Mackenzie question their motivation, especially given recent locker-room tension. Meanwhile, the Rockets, currently fifth in the West at 40–25, are dealing with depth issues. Injuries to Amen Thompson and Fred VanVleet complicate their guard rotation. Mackenzie sees value in betting on Phoenix, given Houston's instability and VanVleet's struggles. Munaf agrees, predicting strong performances from Durant and Booker. Next, the Timberwolves vs. Nuggets matchup is analyzed. Denver, a 3.5-point home favorite, seeks revenge after losing twice in Minnesota. Mackenzie leans toward a Nuggets moneyline bet, citing their superior clutch play and Nikola Jokić's ability to dominate late in games. He notes Denver's outstanding home record, making them a solid bet. Munaf's best bet is the over (237.5) in Mavericks vs. Spurs. He highlights San Antonio's poor defense without Victor Wembanyama, leading to high-scoring games. The Spurs have allowed an average of 256 combined points in their last six contests. Despite missing key scorers, Dallas remains potent, and both teams play at a fast pace. Munaf expects a high-scoring affair. The episode concludes with discussions on March Madness contests at Pregame.com, promo codes for betting packages, and upcoming player prop bets. Munaf and Mackenzie tease their next episode, covering Friday's games. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
