The NBA Cup quarterfinals are here. Seven teams remain in the battle to win the league's in-season tournament, and that number will be cut to four by the end of Wednesday night. The East side of the bracket is up first. The Magic took down the Heat in Tuesday's opener, and the Raptors are hosting the Knicks for a spot in the semifinals. On Wednesday, the Thunder will host the Suns before the Lakers and Spurs meet up.
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.
