Read on for some of our top NBA Cup betting predictions:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Oklahoma City Thunder vs Phoenix Suns</strong></li> </ul> <p>The Oklahoma City Thunder and Phoenix Suns will face off this season, featuring two of the best teams in the tournament. In the last six meetings between these two teams, OKC has emerged victorious. We <strong>predict that the Thunder will win</strong> again.</p> <ul> <li><strong>New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks</strong></li> </ul> <p>The Knicks and Bucks have already played each other once in the NBA regular season so far, with the Bucks winning 121-111 at home. It was the first time in six games that they had won, having lost the last five meetings between them. Games consistently feature 220+ total points, and we<strong> predict this trend to continue</strong>. The Bucks are struggling, but we think there’s <strong>value in backing them</strong> with this one.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Los Angeles Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks</strong></li> </ul> <p>Games between the Lakers and Mavericks have been challenging to call in the past; Dallas has an 11-9 record in the last 20 meetings. However, the Purple &amp; Gold have won the last two, both of which featured<strong> Luka Doncic</strong> playing against his former team, who had 45 points last time. We <strong>predict he’ll have 30+ in this one</strong>, as he continually performs at an exceptional standard.</p>
