The Oklahoma City Thunder have taken a commanding 3-1 lead in the WCF following a Game 4 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves Monday night. How has OKC taken Anthony Edwards out of his offensive game and forced the Wolves' role players to make plays? How has the physicality been in the WCF, and is SGA getting a more favorable whistle than others ? Karl Anthony-Towns had the performance of a lifetime, dropping 20 fourth-quarter points in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals to help the Knicks avoid an 0-3 record.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA playoff betting. The guys also give out best bets. This episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview: NBA Playoff Edition with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers provides an in-depth analysis of two critical NBA playoff matchups: Knicks vs. Pacers Game 4 and Thunder vs. Timberwolves Game 5. The conversation opens with a reflection on Game 3, where the Knicks overcame a 20-point deficit to win. This turnaround stemmed from strategic adjustments—starting Mitchell Robinson and bringing Josh Hart off the bench—allowing New York to clamp down on Indiana's offense. Jalen Brunson struggled with foul trouble and inefficiency, contributing just six field goals on 18 attempts and a single assist. Despite his limited impact, the Knicks held Indiana to only 42 second-half points, a stark contrast to the Pacers' usual offensive rhythm. Hart's late-game rebounds and composure at the free-throw line stood out, and Towns' fourth-quarter scoring lifted the team to its first win of the series. Mackenzie discussed RJ Bell's "fourth quarter win share," an advanced stat favoring teams with strong late-game control, suggesting the Knicks had been more dominant across multiple quarters despite their earlier losses. Looking to Game 4, the hosts note the Pacers as 2.5-point home favorites with a 220.5 total. Mackenzie and Munaf favor the Knicks and the under, emphasizing that a defensive-focused Knicks approach correlates strongly with low-scoring games. Brunson's role is expected to shift toward playmaking, reducing his shot volume. His under 29.5 points prop is Mackenzie's best bet, backed by historical splits where he's gone under this line 20 times versus 19 overs. Meanwhile, Towns is averaging over 25 points and 11 rebounds per game in the series and is projected to exceed both point and rebound props. Transitioning to the Thunder-Timberwolves series, OKC leads 3-1. Game 3 saw a dominant Timberwolves blowout, but OKC rebounded in Game 4 behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 40-point near triple-double and key support from Jalen Williams and the bench. SGA's leadership was pivotal—his late-game assists demonstrated poise under pressure. Mackenzie praised SGA's situational IQ and contrasted it with Anthony Edwards' passive play. Edwards is averaging only 17 FGA per game, the lowest of his postseason career, and scored just 24 PPG despite efficient shooting. Postgame, he deflected criticism, saying he didn't struggle because he didn't take enough shots. Mackenzie critiqued this mindset, calling for Edwards to embrace higher usage when it matters most. With SGA elevating his impact and Edwards retreating, Mackenzie believes the Thunder's edge in leadership and strategy is decisive. In Game 5, OKC is an 8.5-point favorite. Munaf's best bet is the Thunder team total over 114.5, citing strong home scoring trends. SGA's over 6.5 assists is another key angle, supported by three overs in four games and an average of 8.5 APG. The Thunder have shot below their season average from three, suggesting positive regression is likely at home. Mackenzie projects a potential 120–102 OKC win and predicts they'll close the series. The hosts close with futures discussion, noting the NBA's growing parity. The Thunder are +225 favorites for next season, while teams like the Knicks, Pacers, Cavs, and Wolves range from 8/1 to 12/1. Mackenzie emphasizes the historical rarity of such dispersed odds beyond the top team. He speculates Giannis may be traded, naming the Knicks and Rockets as possible destinations. He lauds Sam Presti's roster-building and envisions OKC as a possible dynasty. In conclusion, Munaf and Mackenzie agree the Finals might be lopsided but promise strong betting value through derivatives and props. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Andrew Sharp joins KOC on this episode to discuss the Oklahoma City Thunder's 3-1 lead in the WCF. Has Anthony Edwards regressed to the point of being this era's version of Playoff James Harden?

SGA dropped 40 as OKC takes a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference Finals

Leroy opens with a very underwhelming story about a turtle in his pool. The crew dives into the Panthers' sluggish 3-0 loss to the Canes and whether the Cats can bounce back. It's time for Game Balls and Game Bums, plus Brittney tries (and fails) to sell Tobin on F1 — he's not here for the vroom vroom. Hour Tua gets spicy with a heated debate over why Liam Eichenberg is still on the team. Is an anti-bullying campaign against Tobin in order? Tyreek Hill says he's back "in the lab" — but is he committed to Miami? Tuesday means it's time for “Damage is Done,” with shots at Giannis, Knicks fans, and more F1. Paul Maurice drops a “shotgunning beer in church” analogy after the Panthers' loss, and we finally learn what Marchand was really eating during intermission. Tobin's Mixed Bagn hits on SGA's free throws, Ant's struggles, and Bob's wisdom. Things spiral as JFig trashes Shakira (karaoke included), and the crew argues whether “Hips Don't Lie” is bigger than any Taylor Swift song. Oh — and Dolphins are now banned from banging the Panthers' drum. Who should replace them? Plus: Alright Oh No, Memorial Day madness, JFig v. Tobin, and even more F1.

Zach on how much blame should be placed on Anthony Edwards after their game four loss to the Thunder. | Why the debate over SGA drawing fouls is stupid. |Can the Knicks even the series versus the Pacers? | Aaron Rodgers teases his next team. |

JR opens Tuesday's show by talking about SGA and the OKC Thunder squeezing a win out against Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves, what Edwards had to say postgame, and the NFL players around the league that didn't show up to OTAs. Where are they!?

The Knicks MONSTER Comeback Gets Gil Back On The Bandwagon as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the New York Knicks overcoming another 20 point deficit in the NBA Playoffs to get back into the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers. They discuss how Karl Anthony Towns put the team on his back with a zesty 20 point 4th Quarter and break down how the Knicks' bench led by Josh Hart could be the secret in this series before giving their take on Jeff Teague's belief that Jalen Brunson is too ball dominant to win an NBA Championship. They then break down the game from the Indiana Pacers side as Tyrese Haliburton's clutch shots didn't fall in Game 3 leading the Gil's Arena Crew to debate if the Pacers need a true #1 option to overcome the Knicks before reacting to the news that the team will allow Haliburton's pops back into the stadium for the rest of the NBA Playoffs. Next, they move over to the Western Conference Finals where they break down how Anthony Edwards & The Minnesota Timberwolves BLEW OUT The OKC Thunder in Game 3 and discuss what changed for the Wolves that allowed them to overcome the Thunder's NBA leading defense.

The Thunder beat the Timberwolves and all anyone wants to talk about are free throws. Here on Oddball we think everyone, including Chris Finch, needs to stop complaining.

Anthony Edwards needs to step up and can get the T-wolves a win if he takes more shots. Michael Malone takes a dig at Nikola Jokic, but SGA is the real MVP. Plus, we play Hot Streak, reveal some never-before-seen photos of SGA, and discover Amin has a distant cousin who is a Russian NBA prospect!  Learn more about your ad choices.
