SleepyJ and Mackenzie Rivers talk opening night NBA and much more. The guys also give out the first agreed upon player prop best bet !! SleepyJ hosts RJ Bell's Dream Preview for NBA opening night with Mackenzie Rivers. They discuss title odds, awards, and team outlooks. Oklahoma City opens as favorite at +200, and Mackenzie argues they're slightly undervalued given age curves and experience, citing SGA's playoff performance and team growth. Sleepy admits underrating OKC last year due to small-market bias, learning that team cohesion beats star power. They move to other contenders: Mackenzie likes Cleveland's continuity but questions their playoff ceiling; Sleepy doubts Donovan Mitchell's leadership and depth, calling the Cavs regular-season strong but playoff vulnerable. They debate Mitchell's limitations as a facilitator and team chemistry. Sleepy shifts to Houston, citing VanVleet's injury but optimism around Durant, Thompson, and Sengun. Mackenzie praises Durant's adaptability but notes Phoenix's example of misfit stars, still bullish on Houston's upside. Sleepy predicts Rockets could shock people and offers a bold take: betting on Philadelphia and Joel Embiid for MVP at 150-1 and title at 35-1. He argues Embiid looks rejuvenated and motivated by disrespect. Mackenzie agrees, calling those odds insulting and noting Embiid's elite stats despite limited games. They analyze how Philly could rival Knicks or Cavs if healthy. Then they examine bottom teams: Washington, Utah, Brooklyn, and Chicago. Both agree the Wizards are awful, but Sleepy also thinks the Bulls may implode, predicting a rebuild. Mackenzie critiques Chicago's poor contracts and lack of direction since Derrick Rose's injury. Sleepy sees Brooklyn outperforming its 19.5 win total. Transitioning to opening night bets, they preview Houston at OKC. Mackenzie's power ratings made OKC -7.5 but adjusts to -5.5 with Jalen Williams out, leaning Rockets slightly. Sleepy thinks OKC still reliable, given consistency and home edge. They discuss player props—Sleepy leans under KD 23.5 points, expecting him to defer to young teammates; Mackenzie initially leans over but concedes the market's caution. Next, Warriors at Lakers: LeBron's absence moves the line from Lakers -3.5 to Warriors -2.5. Mackenzie analyzes the line evolution, doubts L.A.'s defensive narrative, and argues the Warriors remain superior. He critiques media bias inflating Lakers' perception and calls Warriors -2 a fair play, making it his best bet. Sleepy agrees, taking Luka Doncic (now on Lakers) over 30.5 points, predicting he'll shoulder offense in LeBron's absence. They debate whether LeBron's rest is strategic “LeBron to the rescue” PR timing, likely returning in late November. Mackenzie estimates Lakers around 43–44 wins, under the 46.5 total. They close with promo code NBA25 for 25% off pregame.com. Sleepy endorses Mackenzie as the top NBA handicapper, praising his discipline and analytics. Both recall strong past results and share their agreed prop bet: Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga over 20.5 points, rebounds, and assists, believing he'll step up under bright lights in L.A. They end optimistic for a profitable NBA season and sign off encouraging listeners to enjoy opening night. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Pick Prediction by Tony T. Rockies at Thunder Injuries Tate, VanVleet and Finney-Smith are out for Houston with Crawford questionable. Jalen Williams, Kenrich Williams, Topic and Joe are out for OKC.
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.

Seth and Sean discuss Rockets' G Fred VanVleet's ACL tear being just the most recent devastating thing to happen in Houston sports. Who worships these sports gods and why?!
Reaching this very intense part of the year with football season in full swing now, baseball season slowly concluding, and basketball season on the horizon, there was a lot of hype surrounding the city of Houston rolling into the 2025-26 season. Looking back on each league's legal tampering period during the offseason and free agency, wasting no time on contract signings and extensions, Houston appeared to have a very promising future across all 3 leagues in the years to come. However, taking a drastic turn recently as the Astros' playoff hopes slowly slip, the Texans' 0-3 start, and Shams Charania breaking the news that Rockets' Guard Fred VanVleet endured a torn ACL yesterday and may miss the season's entirety, things do not look as promising as they once did for Houston. Regressing a bit, Dan, Chris, & Ari share how they feel about Houston's current teams and their current positions, and which of the 3 could turn their season around before it becomes too late.

No ha arrancado la temporada en la NBA y los Houston Rockets ya han sufrido uno de los grandes golpes a sus aspiraciones en la Conferencia Oeste.Fred VanVleet, jugador fundamental en la rotación de base para la franquicia podría perderse toda la campaña 25/26 por una rotura del ligamento anterior cruzado de una de sus rodillas según ha informado Shams Charania.Justo la temporada en la que Houston lograba dar un salto en sus aspiraciones con la incorporación de Kevin Durant, valorado por los insiders de ESPN como el mejor movimiento del verano en la NBA, la lesión de un jugador clave como VanVleet podría obligar al equipo a reconsiderar su rotación o realizar otros movimientos.VanVleet, que la próxima temporada cobrará 25 millones de dólares, promedió la pasada campaña 14.1 puntos y 5.5 asistencias con un 34% en triples.En este vídeo analizamos en profundidad cómo impacta, cómo afecta y qué supone la lesión de Fred VanVleet para los Houston RocketsPuedes suscribirte aquí a Gigantes para apoyar el proyecto (https://www.gigantes.com/tienda/)Suscríbete y síguenos en redes sociales:
No episódio desta semana, o destaque vai para a lesão de VanVleet e os caminhos que os Houston Rockets podem seguir. Damos ainda algumas equipas que vão estar no nosso League Pass inicial e falamos da sondagem da ESPN sobre alguns dos principais assuntos da NBA.
Following the conclusion of the 2024-25 NBA season, the free agency period in the NBA is officially underway now as the Houston Rockets waste no time in aiming to make another playoff run for the 2026 season. Jumping out early trading for Kevin Durant followed by extensions signed for players like VanVleet, Jabari Smith Jr., and Steven Adams the Rockets look to be huge contenders coming out of the West for next year. Following the signing of Dorian Finney-Smith and bringing back Clint Capela on a 3-year deal, host of Locked On Rockets Ben DuBose joins Sean and Dan discussing the Rockets' offseason moves thus far and the possibility of making a finals appearance with a bit of a renewed Rockets roster.
As free agency negotiations officially begin around the NBA, the Rockets are continuing a busy offseason. With Kevin Durant already in the fold, Houston has recently agreed to new contracts with Jabari Smith Jr. and Fred VanVleet, and there are rumors that Lakers forward Dorian Finney-Smith could be an attainable target during the opening days of 2025 free agency.Sponsored by Karbach Brewing, Monday's episode explores all the various implications. Discussion topics include include how Smith and VanVleet's relatively inexpensive deals could the Rockets help fill out future rosters, as well as why Finney-Smith is a worthwhile target to potentially backfill the role of Dillon Brooks (traded to Phoenix in the Durant deal).

Kevin Durant is officially a Houston Rocket — and Rob is joined by recurring guest Jerry to break it all down.They start in Houston, where both agree KD's fit is perfect next to VanVleet, Adams, and a rising young core. Jerry sees a short but real title window, while Rob highlights the front office's commitment to fit and praises the vets staying put.Then it's on to Phoenix, where the return of Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and a top-10 pick sparks mixed reviews. While Jerry likes Green's upside, both hosts question the Suns' head-scratching draft night — including a center overload and no clear point guard in sight.Follow us on social media:

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for Wednesday. The guys are ramping up for the NBA stretch run and provide best bets. The latest episode of the NBA podcast on RJ Bell's Dream Preview, hosted by Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers, covers key NBA topics as the regular season nears its end. With around 16–17 games left, they discuss team performances, injuries, and betting angles for the Lakers, Bucks, Thunder, Celtics, Suns, Rockets, Timberwolves, and Nuggets. The Lakers' situation is a focal point, especially LeBron James' groin injury, sidelining him for 1–2 weeks. Mackenzie, holding an under 49.5 wins bet on the Lakers, sees hope as they've lost to the Celtics and Nets. With a tough schedule ahead, including games against the Thunder, Bucks, and Nuggets, he believes they may struggle to reach 50 wins despite improving as a team. Shifting to the Bucks, Milwaukee holds a 36–27 record with the sixth-hardest remaining schedule, including key matchups against contenders. Mackenzie projects them to surpass 46.5 wins and sees playoff potential, though he doubts they can challenge Boston or Cleveland. He also critiques the Kyle Kuzma trade, questioning whether he improves the team over Khris Middleton. The episode highlights a marquee matchup between the Thunder and Celtics. Boston is a 4.5-point favorite, but Mackenzie argues Oklahoma City has been the better team. He points to Boston's weak home-court advantage and statistical inferiority, supporting a bet on the Thunder. Munaf notes Oklahoma City's impressive 24-7 road record and believes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will exploit Boston's defense. The Suns' fading playoff hopes are another focus. With chemistry concerns, including reports of Kevin Durant's frustration, Phoenix struggles to stay competitive. Sitting outside the play-in tournament, they must overtake the struggling Mavericks. However, Munaf and Mackenzie question their motivation, especially given recent locker-room tension. Meanwhile, the Rockets, currently fifth in the West at 40–25, are dealing with depth issues. Injuries to Amen Thompson and Fred VanVleet complicate their guard rotation. Mackenzie sees value in betting on Phoenix, given Houston's instability and VanVleet's struggles. Munaf agrees, predicting strong performances from Durant and Booker. Next, the Timberwolves vs. Nuggets matchup is analyzed. Denver, a 3.5-point home favorite, seeks revenge after losing twice in Minnesota. Mackenzie leans toward a Nuggets moneyline bet, citing their superior clutch play and Nikola Jokić's ability to dominate late in games. He notes Denver's outstanding home record, making them a solid bet. Munaf's best bet is the over (237.5) in Mavericks vs. Spurs. He highlights San Antonio's poor defense without Victor Wembanyama, leading to high-scoring games. The Spurs have allowed an average of 256 combined points in their last six contests. Despite missing key scorers, Dallas remains potent, and both teams play at a fast pace. Munaf expects a high-scoring affair. The episode concludes with discussions on March Madness contests at Pregame.com, promo codes for betting packages, and upcoming player prop bets. Munaf and Mackenzie tease their next episode, covering Friday's games. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
