NBC Sports Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes OKC and SGA tonight: Thunder to win NBA Cup (+125) and SGA for Cup MVP (+140)

“OKC has the defensive advantage over Milwaukee and that's what this final will come down to. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been a 30-point machine and there's not a defender on the Bucks that can slow him down in the fourth quarter.”

Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper) got a slightly better number on the Thunder to cover the spread and win the Cup: Oklahoma City -4.5

“Fair for me is -6.5 and the match-up advantages for OKC are plentiful starting with elite defense and exceptional offense at the point of attack. The bench for OKC will also likely put pressure on the Bucks so like betting opportunities when Giannis comes out are worth tracking in-game.”

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) likes Giannis to have a monster game: Giannis 30+ points/12+ rebounds (+140)

“Maximum effort. That's going to be a constant theme for each team as they prepare to win the NBA Cup. There aren't many players who get more motivated than Giannis Antetokounmpo. I expect him to do everything in his power to put the team on his back and try to come out with the win.”
