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.

Hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop break down a jam-packed episode covering the latest NBA media-day developments, fantasy football pain, a heavy slate of NFL picks, college football upsets, and the closing moments of the MLB regular season. Expect a conversational, game-by-game NFL preview, betting angles, and candid takes on roster news and injuries. The show opens with college and NBA talk (00:00:48) — including a reassuring two-minute Jason Tatum video, tempered expectations on his recovery, coach Mazzulla's tone and tactics, and how missing pieces (Fred VanVleet's season-ending injury, Kevin Durant's ongoing point-guard search, Reed Sheppard's readiness) shift the contender landscape. They also hit Al Horford's new Golden State deal and toss out quick NBA futures bets for the season. The conversation transitions to football (00:06:07) and a full NFL recap (00:11:10). The hosts confess fantasy mishaps (00:21:34) and debate whether late scratch news should spark commissioner intervention. From there, they dive into weekly NFL picks — Rams over the Niners on a short week, a Vikings–Browns preview, Colts vs. Raiders breakdown, Saints vs. Giants reasoning, Cowboys–Jets chaos, Ravens vs. Texans concerns, and betting notes like a Bowers anytime TD (+195) and a Vikings–Browns under play. College football gets the spotlight (00:31:53) with Virginia's OT win over FSU, Oregon edging Penn State, Boise State at Notre Dame, Vanderbilt's surprising start, and the wild post-upset scenes. They also highlight standout performances and preview the next big matchups. Baseball coverage digs into playoff races (00:54:44), Yankees/Red Sox implications, the Guardians' late surge, the Mets' collapse, and the incoming automated ball-strike challenge (00:57:57) — weighing accuracy versus flow. The episode closes with an NBA preseason preview (01:03:21) as Will and Zach mix betting strategy, weekly NBA futures stances, and candid takes on what to expect over the next seven days: injuries to monitor, sleepers to target, and bold picks to watch as the NFL and NBA seasons heat up.
