I hosted this episode of the State of the New York Knicks Podcast, talking with Knicks fans and pointing out what we're all seeing as the Knicks dropped Game 3 to the Hawks. I broke down how I saw Jalen Brunson lock up Dyson Daniels while also getting scored on in key moments by CJ McCollum, and I pointed out OG Anunoby's uneven defensive night where I watched him give up efficient looks to Jalen Johnson and Jonathan Kuminga but also clamp down on Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Daniels, and McCollum in other stretches. I also talked through what I saw from Karl-Anthony Towns, especially how he made things difficult for CJ and Jalen Johnson with no threes allowed, and I gave my take on what all of this means for the Knicks as we move forward in the series.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Esler are back on a Tuesday edition of Cash That Ticket on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, riding a 2-0 Monday into one of the biggest nights of the NBA first round. The pod opens with a clean recap of the night before, with the Oklahoma City Thunder team total cashing easily at 131 points and Connor Prielipp's strikeout prop for the Twins hitting at exactly five, getting there by the hook after a fifth-inning escape that had Dave convinced the bet was gone. Three games on Tuesday's NBA playoff schedule and a full MLB card give the guys plenty to dig into. The first matchup up is Celtics and Sixers at 7:10 Eastern, with Boston holding a commanding 3-1 series lead and laying 11.5 at TD Garden. Dave makes the case that Philadelphia simply cannot score against this defense, pointing to just one game above 100 points all series and a team total sitting right around 100 that he expects the Sixers to come up short of. Munaf identifies Jayson Tatum's rebounds plus assists combination at 17.5 on DraftKings as the player prop of the game, citing consistent production all series long in both categories. Dave adds VJ Edgecombe at over 12 points as a bounce-back candidate after the Sixers rookie went 0-for-11 from three over three straight games following his 30-point Game 2 masterpiece. Both analysts land on the Celtics to cover and close it out. Then it's on to the Knicks and Hawks at 8:10 Eastern, a 2-2 series back at Madison Square Garden where New York is laying 6.5. Dave targets the Knicks team total over, noting New York has hovered right around 110 all series while Atlanta's defense has been a liability. Munaf brings up the game-five intensity factor and how the 3-2 edge makes both teams play harder defensively before landing on CJ McCollum's points over 20.5 as his prop of choice, arguing Atlanta has no offense without him producing. Dave goes off the board with Jonathan Kuminga at over 12 points, citing his 19 and 21-point efforts in Atlanta's two wins, his nearly 29 minutes per game role, and a bounce-back profile after a quiet Game 4. The night closes with Spurs and Blazers at 9:40 Eastern, with Victor Wembanyama back after his concussion and San Antonio holding a 3-1 lead at home. Dave likes Portland's team total under 101.5, pointing to the Blazers being held under 100 points twice in the series with Wembanyama active and noting that no adjustment Portland has tried has solved the defensive problem. Munaf makes the Spurs minus-11.5 his official best bet, calling out the coaching mismatch between Mitch Johnson and Thiago Splitter as an underreported factor and projecting a wire-to-wire blowout similar to the 111-98 Game 1 result. The MLB rundown covers the full Tuesday board, with Dave scanning everything from the Reds and Rockies to the Astros, Dodgers, Cardinals, Pirates, Orioles and more. Dave's best bet is the Cincinnati Reds team total over 4.5 runs with Tomoyuki Sugano on the mound for Colorado, a wind blowing out at Great American Ball Park, and the Rockies bullpen projected to regress away from Coors. Breaking news midway through the show confirmed the Phillies fired manager Rob Thompson and that Shohei Ohtani will pitch tonight but not bat for the Dodgers.
