2025 NBA Cup Odds: Thunder, Knicks Favored in Semis; SGA Expected to Win MVP

Updated Dec. 11, 2025 11:24 a.m. ET

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 is hosting the NBA Cup (remember, it was formerly the in-season tournament). All 30 teams were separated into different groups within their respective conferences and participated in group play, seeing which squads could qualify for the knockout rounds. 

The Lakers won it in 2023-24, and the Bucks won it last season. Now, we're down to the final four and neither L.A. nor Milwaukee remains.

Let's check out all the odds for who will win the tournament at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Dec. 11
