2025 NBA Cup Odds: Thunder Favored; Lakers in Contention

Published November 28, 2025

After the NBA preseason, but before the NBA postseason, and then mixed into the NBA regular season, is the NBA in-season tournament, now known as the NBA Cup.

Make sense?

For the third consecutive year, the NBA will host the NBA Cup (remember, it was formerly the in-season tournament), where all 30 teams are separated into different groups within their respective conferences and participate in group play, seeing which squads can qualify for the knockout rounds.

The Lakers won it in 2023-24, and the Thunder won it last season.

Which squad will stop OKC from defending its NBA Cup title, if any?
