Cash That Ticket - Thursday April 23rd

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday.

Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Esler are back on the Cash That Ticket podcast for the Pregame.com Podcast Network's Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a full Thursday breakdown covering three NBA first-round Game 3 matchups, the opening night of the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, and an MLB getaway day card with a pair of solid night games in the mix. Coming off a split Wednesday where Dave cashed on the Mets first-five-innings under and Munaf got the hook on Cade Cunningham's PRA by exactly one total point, the guys waste no time getting into the Thursday action. CJ McCollum's 32-point Game 2 performance at Madison Square Garden — where he came back from 12 down in the fourth quarter to lead Atlanta to a 107-106 win over the Knicks — sets the stage for Game 3 in Atlanta, and Dave makes his case for the over at 216.5, pointing to Atlanta's pace, their weak defensive interior, and a market that has moved too far off two cold Knicks fourth quarters. Munaf adds first-quarter Hawks and first-half over angles in the same game. In the Cavaliers-Raptors series, both hosts land on Toronto at home despite the 0-2 hole, citing Cleveland's brutal 9-and-19 road ATS record as a road favorite this season and the reality that the Raptors have actually played Cleveland even across six of the eight quarters in this series. For Denver and Minnesota in Game 3, Dave puts the Wolves at home on the side at plus-2.5 after breaking down why Minnesota was the better team in Game 2 despite the drama of falling behind 14 early, while Munaf makes his official best bet the Timberwolves-Nuggets first-half over at 113.5 — both games in this series have seen both teams combine for 62-62 and 64-64 at the half. On the baseball side, Dave goes back to Joe Ryan and the Twins in the first five innings against a Mets team that is sending Christian Scott to the mound for his first MLB start since returning from Tommy John surgery, and both hosts caution strongly against forcing action on getaway day games without confirmed lineups. The NFL Draft segment covers the near-certain Mendoza-to-Raiders pick one, the Reese-to-Jets pick two, and the burning question of whether New Orleans executes their trade up to the three spot to grab Reese ahead of Arizona's Jeremiyah Love decision. Monroe Freeling gets a spotlight as the projected first offensive lineman off the board to Cleveland at six.
