Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA action to get you ready for season tip-off. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers tip off the final preseason Dream Preview pod before the 2025-26 NBA season, reviewing win-total moves, roster news, and championship outlooks. They note minor market shifts after injuries: VanVleet's torn ACL drops Houston slightly, LeBron's sciatica lowers the Lakers from 48.5 to 46.5 wins, and Westbrook joins Sacramento on a one-year deal while Keegan Murray nurses an injury. Their power rankings open with Denver, Golden State, Houston, and Minnesota in a near tie, joined by the Cavs, Clippers, and Thunder. Munaf edges Denver over Golden State for balance and depth, while Mackenzie touts the Clippers' underrated strength versus market skepticism. Both put Oklahoma City and Cleveland atop the league, debating whether Giannis's future or trades could reshape the field. They agree Minnesota's Anthony Edwards is elite yet not proven as a true championship alpha; he scores big but lacks sustained playoff efficiency. The Rockets intrigue with Kevin Durant's arrival but lose VanVleet's stabilizing playmaking; Amen Thompson's defense and Reed Sheppard's shooting are swing factors. Mackenzie fears spacing issues; Munaf sees potential if Sheppard hits threes. They finalize top fives: Thunder, Cavs, Clippers, Nuggets, Warriors for Mack; Thunder, Cavs, Denver, Warriors, Knicks for Munaf. Title odds show Thunder +245, Nuggets 6-1, Cavs 7.5-1, Knicks 8.5-1, Rockets 11-1. Mack picks Thunder over Cavs; Munaf predicts Knicks emerge from the East, citing depth, health, and Brunson's leadership, while both name Golden State the best non-Thunder Western threat. They expect Knicks-Thunder Finals (12-1 exact) with Knicks as a value play at 30-1. In division futures, they call the Cavs locks in the Central, Magic favorites in the Southeast, Bulls as a win-total over sleeper, and Thunder runaway winners in the Northwest. Spurs, led by Wembanyama's ascendance, are their pick to challenge Houston in the Southwest; Dallas could surprise if Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis mesh. They project the Pacific race between Warriors (+185) and Clippers (+175), favoring Golden State's health and chemistry. Discussion closes on Jonathan Kuminga's two-year $48 M deal—potential trade chip more than core piece. Best bets: Mackenzie likes Milwaukee under 43.5 wins due to defensive decline and Giannis uncertainty; Munaf backs Memphis under 41.5 given injuries to Bane, Clark, and weak defense. They also praise Orlando's continuity, fade Atlanta overhype, and recommend Thunder futures as the smart chalk. Closing plugs remind listeners to grab Mackenzie's season package and enter Pregame's Beat Dave Esler contest for $500 prizes. Both hosts sign off energized for tip-off and weekly NBA coverage ahead.

The Lakers head to Sin City for their next stop on their exhibition tour, as the second game of a back-to-back, as they face off against the Mavs. And just like the previous night in Phoenix, a split-squad Lakers matched the intensity of the Mavs starters to gain a double-digit lead in the first half.
