They met in preseason; the Bucks were the winners then. Still, things have been different in competitive action. The Heat have been more consistent and hold a better record, while the Bucks haven’t been great. Nonetheless, we’re predicting the Bucks to win this, as they have a 100% record in the NBA Cup and are defending champions.</p> <ul> <li>Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves</li> </ul> <p>The Oklahoma City Thunder vs Minnesota Timberwolves game is arguably the pick of Thursday’s action. OKC are the best team in the NBA currently, and continues to look good money to be NBA Champions again. Even in the NBA Cup, they’ve been unbeatable so far, which is why we’re predicting that they will have another victory against a strong Timberwolves team. SGA remains a focal point and continues to perform highly, which is why we’re predicting another 30+ points game.</p> <ul> <li>Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets</li> </ul> <p>GSW vs the Rockets is an appealing game for NBA Cup bettors this week, with both teams having everything to play for. It’s a shoot-out between these two; both have only one win over three games in the NBA Cup. Based on their regular-season form, we’re predicting the Rockets to win.</p>
