It is Monday, May 4, 2026, and round two of the NBA playoffs is officially underway.

Munaf came in even hotter, revealing he had grabbed futures tickets on the Sixers to come out of the East at 25 to 1 when they were trailing Boston 3-1, and his case rests heavily on Paul George sho…","meta_description":"Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday.
