NBA Cup bracket and schedule 2025: Where to watch the elimination games
The NBA Cup quarterfinals are here. Six teams remain in the running to win the season’s tournament, and that number will be reduced to four by the end of Wednesday night. The semifinals are in the East as the Magic and Knicks were both victorious on Tuesday night. The Magic rallied after giving up the first 15 points to the Heat to come back and defeat their in-state rival. The Knicks, meanwhile, got 35 points from Jalen Brunson in a road win over the Raptors.
The Magic and Knicks will meet in the semifinals on Saturday. The Western quarterfinals will take place Wednesday evening as the Thunder host the Suns before the Lakers and Spurs meet.
The 19-1 Thunder are currently the favorites to win the 2025 NBA Cup (-125 at FanDuel). The Bucks won the competition last year and the Lakers won the initial version in 2023.
