Milwaukee Bucks vs Orlando Magic
Milwaukee Bucks (-7) $1.88

The Bucks play host to the Magic in the first NBA Cup Quarterfinal.

This is the first time these two sides meet in the regular season.

Orlando hasn’t enjoyed traveling to Milwaukee in recent times, with their last away win against the Bucks coming in September 2019!

Milwaukee has won 20 of the last 23 games against the Magic, although two of those three defeats came last season.

Orlando enters this knockout fixture without their two most productive played, with both Banchero and Wagner missing through injury.

The Magic have too much to overcome here, a full-strength Bucks side should get the job done comfortably on home court.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks
Dallas Mavericks (+4) $1.92

OKC host the Mavs in the 2nd Quarterfinal.

This pair have faced off once already this season, with Dallas narrowly winning in Oklahoma 121-119.

The makes it three straight wins and five in the last six for the Mavericks when playing OKC.

The Thunder hold the best record in the West and rightfully so head into this game as warm favourites.

Although, the Mavs are the form side in the competition, going 9-1 across their last 10 games.

Luka and Kyrie are both big game players, and I’m expecting them to take over in this knock-out fixture,

Dallas to cover as underdogs.
