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.

On today’s episode, Jason is joined by longtime Los Angeles Lakers reporter Jovan Buha.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses why he believes the Miami Dolphins are doing the right thing by tanking the upcoming 2026 season and getting an early start on the 'March for Arch' Manning for the 2027 NFL Draft, whether it's fair or foul to say that Fernando Mendoza wouldn't go first overall in the 2026 NFL Draft if he had come out in a more star-studded draft class like the one we saw in 2024 with Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels, the real reason why Victor Wembanyama felt compelled to play hard in the NBA All-Star Game, and why Luka Doncic and LeBron James appear at-odds as it pertains to the Los Angeles Lakers season-long outlook. #OddCouple Follow Jason on Twitter and Instagram.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Tuesday. Tuesday's edition of Cash That Ticket on RJ Bell's Dream Preview, hosted by Munaf Manji, centered on a busy NBA slate and a night that blended betting success, on court controversy, and evolving league storylines. Coming off a 2 0 night on best bets, Manji opened by noting momentum built from Nikola Jokic clearing a rebounds and assists prop and a college basketball win from Uncle Dave, setting the tone for another analysis heavy episode focused primarily on professional hoops. The biggest headline from Monday night came in Charlotte, where tensions between the Pistons and Hornets escalated into a chaotic midgame altercation that evoked memories of past NBA flashpoints. A hard foul and ensuing confrontation involving Jalen Duren, Miles Bridges, and Isaiah Stewart spilled across the floor before officials and teammates intervened. While the incident stopped short of anything more severe, suspensions were still pending, and the league was expected to review the situation closely. Detroit ultimately snapped Charlotte's nine game winning streak with a 110 104 victory, a result that also cashed the under Manji had leaned toward pregame. Beyond the fight, Manji highlighted several league wide trends impacting both teams and bettors. Utah's handling of a close game against Miami drew scrutiny after key starters sat for the entire fourth quarter despite being within reach, a clear signal of draft positioning priorities. The situation reinforced a growing angle for bettors, especially with live markets, when evaluating teams openly embracing late season losses. Elsewhere, Golden State edged Memphis by one point, Cleveland rallied late to beat Denver, and Oklahoma City handled the Lakers without Shai Gilgeous Alexander, prompting candid postgame comments from LeBron James about Los Angeles falling short of championship caliber. That admission fueled broader speculation about the Lakers' direction and the possibility that this season could mark the end of James' tenure in Los Angeles, with roster construction and long term planning increasingly shifting toward Luka Doncic. Looking ahead, Manji broke down a short Tuesday card, emphasizing defense, pace, and situational spots. He backed the Knicks at home against Indiana, citing elite recent defensive form and strong Madison Square Garden performance, leaned under in Clippers Rockets due to Houston's slow tempo and defensive identity, supported Phoenix laying points versus a depleted Dallas squad, and ultimately locked in San Antonio against the Lakers as his best bet. With depth, defensive consistency, and favorable scheduling on their side, the Spurs were positioned as the most reliable play of the night. Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's Kevin O'Connor show, we've got a trade-deadline special! Kevin O'Connor is joined by Tom Haberstroh to dissect any and all movement in the league before the 3 PM ET buzzer, going through the biggest winners and losers in what may be the weirdest trade deadline in NBA history.First, the pair discuss the Milwaukee Bucks' decision to retain Giannis Antetokounmpo, and what that means for the landscape of the NBA–and for the future outlook of the Golden State Warriors, especially after the anticlimactic end of the Jonathan Kuminga saga. Were the Warriors the biggest losers of the trade deadline? Will another team arise in the summer to win the Antetokounmpo sweepstakes?Next, they discuss the James Harden trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and if this move can bring the city of Cleveland to the Finals once again.Then, they muse on what exactly made this deadline so weird: multiple All-Stars being traded to bad NBA teams. They ask: why are bad teams trading for good players? Why are the Utah Jazz putting their top-8 protected first round pick in jeopardy? Why such a paltry return for Anthony Davis, who was traded for Luka Doncic just last year?Plus, they cover all the bases with the more local trades made, from the Chicago Bulls picking up 9 second round picks to the Boston Celtics acquiring their long-coveted big man in Nikola Vucevic. Plus more questions: why didn't the Sacramento Kings trade for Ja Morant? Why did the Philadelphia 76ers let go of Jared McCain? All that and much, much more on today's KOC Show!(0:16) Trade deadline instant reactions(4:33) Giannis not traded by Bucks(10:39) Warriors trade Kuminga to Hawks(25:49) Cavs get James Harden(43:34) Wizards acquire Anthony Davis(48:22) Clippers trade Zubac to Pacers(55:57) Jazz trade for Jaren Jackson Jr.(1:02:18) Ja Morant stays in Memphis(1:07:45) Timberwolves trade recap(01:10:18) What are the Chicago Bulls up to?(01:13:05) Celtics trade Simons for Vucevic(01:19:04) 76ers trade Jared McCain to OKC

In this in-depth Hoopsology Podcast interview, Ryan Ward breaks down the true state of the Lakers ahead of the All-Star break, including concerns about defensive effort, leadership, roster construction, and whether the organization is already thinking beyond this season.
