Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk sports betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Cash That Ticket podcast for a Friday, May 15, 2026 episode that covers more ground than most, starting with two NBA playoff closeout games and working all the way through the MLB Friday card, a PGA Championship round one update, and a genuine milestone moment as Munaf officially becomes a Pregame Pro on Pregame.com — selling picks for the first time after years of giving them away for free on this pod, and receiving a full public endorsement from Dave that was honest, direct, and exactly what you would expect from a man who has been in the pick-selling business long enough to know the difference between a handicapper and a salesman. On the NBA side, the guys break down Game 6 of Cavaliers versus Pistons at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, where the Cavs hold a three-games-to-two lead after surviving overtime in Detroit behind 30 points from James Harden and a 31-free-throw performance that Dave argues is simply not repeatable — not the free throw volume, not the 40 percent three-point shooting, not the pace that produced 211 points in regulation plus overtime, and both hosts land on the under at 211 and a half as their conviction play, with Dave adding Detroit plus four and a half as his side bet, pointing to the Pistons' history of holding opponents under 101 points in five of their six wins this postseason and the brutal minutes load both rosters are carrying out of an overtime game where Cade Cunningham played 48 of 53 available minutes and Evan Mobley, James Harden, and Donovan Mitchell each logged 43. In the Western Conference, San Antonio leads Minnesota three to two and travels to Target Center as road favorites, and Dave likes the Timberwolves in the spot — citing the loss of emotional fuel that powered the Spurs' 29-point blowout in Game 5 after the Victor Wembanyama ejection, the correctable nature of Minnesota's poor shooting and paint numbers from that game, and his standing rule about backing home underdogs in elimination games, which Munaf reinforces with data showing the Wolves have consistently been excellent coming off losses and pointing to Anthony Edwards as a player who needs a signature moment tonight, with both hosts taking Minnesota plus five and a half and the over at 218 and a half and flagging Naz Reid three-pointers made and Jaden McDaniels points and rebounds as the ancillary prop angles on the Wolves side. On the MLB card, they fade Aaron Nola against the Pirates and Braxton Ashcraft, building the case around Nola's fly-ball evolution, his seven home runs in 42 innings, his trend of pitching worse in back-to-back matchups against the same team, and the road context at PNC Park tonight, preferring the Pittsburgh first-five-innings run line as the cleanest execution vehicle. In the Subway Series, Cam Schlittler — who is putting up historic numbers not seen since Walter Johnson in 1913 — starts for the Yankees at Citi Field against Clay Holmes and the Mets, with cold temperatures, wind blowing in, and a total of seven making the first-five-innings under the natural play for both hosts. Dave's best bet is the over in the Rockies-Diamondbacks game at Coors Field, where Merrill Kelly arrives with a 7.62 ERA and 19 hits allowed in 14 road innings, and Munaf's best bet is the under eight in Atlanta between the Braves and the Red Sox, with Spencer Strider making his third start back from an oblique strain against a Boston offense that has scored five combined runs over its last four games.

Arash, Grant, Beav, and newest Sporting Tribune member John Browner — a San Diego sports radio veteran with nearly a decade on the air — come together on a very special Drake drop night for a packed episode of TST Today LIVE, heard on KIRN 670 AM in Southern California, 98.5 The Bet in Las Vegas, and the Hawaii Sports Radio Network. The crew breaks down the NBA Playoffs with the Spurs leading the Timberwolves 3-2 heading into a pivotal Game 6 at Target Center. Is Victor Wembanyama already the most dominant force in the postseason? Can Anthony Edwards and a hobbled Wolves squad force a Game 7? The panel weighs in with strong takes on both sides. Then, the LeBron James game ball story takes center stage. John Browner drops a sharp analysis of why this is a classic Klutch Sports media plant — and why the Lakers have done nothing but cater to LeBron for years, from drafting Bronny James to hiring his podcast co-host JJ Reddick as head coach. The guys also react to the NFL Schedule Release, with the Chargers once again setting the gold standard for creative schedule drop videos. John gives a raw, emotional breakdown of what the Chargers' departure meant to San Diego fans — and why Dean Spanos still hasn't been forgiven. Finally, the conversation shifts to the NBA Draft, with John Browner making a passionate case for why Darius Acuff Jr. is being criminally underrated and why the Clippers should absolutely NOT trade away their fifth overall pick.

Still, there is a chance to rally in Game 6 at Target Center and force a Game 7. 21:00: The Frost season ended, the Lynx season is showing some early promise, the Wild are trying to hang on Wednesday, the Twins got a gem from Bailey Ober and the Vikings are headed to Mexico City.

The Minnesota Timberwolves beat the New Orleans Pelicans in their final game of the regular season last night. But for many fans, the main event was sitting courtside. Kevin Garnett returned to the Target Center for the first time in eight years. The MVP played for Minnesota for 12 years starting in 1995, and again in 2015 for his final year before retirement. He's beloved among many Wolves fans, but kept his distance from the team for years due to a sour relationship with former owner Glen Taylor. Now that the franchise is under new ownership, Garnett has signed on as a team ambassador and the Wolves plan to retire his number 21 jersey. Meanwhile, heading into draft night Monday, the Minnesota Lynx features a nearly entirely new roster. In the past weekend, the Lynx signed multiple players in free agency and also lost several players. Minnesota Now sports contributors Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson joined the program with those sports headlines and more.

This episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast explores two critical fronts in the modern labor movement: the massive mobilization for civil rights in Minneapolis and the rapidly evolving union landscape of the video game industry. As of January 29, 2026, Minnesota is at the center of a national crisis following the tragic death of Alex Pretti, a VA nurse and AFGE member, while video game workers across the globe prepare for a historic international strike at Ubisoft. Part 1: Minneapolis Labor Federation Mobilizes Against ICE Guest: Chelsie Glaubitz Gabiou, President of the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Following the Day of Truth and Freedom on Jan. 23, Chelsie Glaubitz Gabiou joins the show to discuss a community in motion. Despite subzero temperatures, an estimated 90,000 people rallied in Minneapolis to demand an end to ICE's "occupation" of local neighborhoods. Key Discussion Points: The Scale of Resistance: Why nearly 100,000 people marched in -23°F weather and how the Target Center became a hub for solidarity within 48 hours. The Death of Alex Pretti: A look at the tragic killing of the AFGE Local 3669 member and why labor leaders argue that current enforcement tactics are making workplaces and communities less safe. Building a Defense: The surge in Constitutional Observer and nonviolent action trainings, which have tripled in participation as union members choose preparation over retreat. Economic Blackout: How 1,000 small businesses stood with labor while major corporations remained silent. "The resilience of our community is so strong right now. You cannot go into a neighborhood that is not self-organizing." — Chelsie Glaubitz Gabiou Part 2: United Videogame Workers-CWA & The Future of Gaming Guests: Vlada Monakhova (Montreal) & Anna Webster (Los Angeles), United Videogame Workers-CWA (Local 9433) The "dream job" of game development is facing a reality check. With United Videogame Workers (UVW-CWA) nearing 600 members since its March 2025 launch, organizers are proving that even "creatives" need the power of a union contract. Key Discussion Points: The Ubisoft Strike: Details on the February 10-12 international walkout called by five unions in response to studio closures and the 5-day return-to-office mandate. The "Art Factory" Myth: Shifting the industry mindset from "passion-driven" to "worker-led" to combat exploitation and $200M cost-cutting plans.
