2024 NBA Cup odds indicate that the Knicks are favored to win, with the Cavaliers and Warriors also seeing a rise in their chances. This unique in-season tournament, known as the NBA Cup, takes place after the NBA preseason and before the postseason, intertwining with the regular season.
Does that clarify things?
For the second consecutive year, the NBA Cup will showcase all 30 teams, divided into groups within their respective conferences. These teams will engage in group play, vying for a chance to qualify for the knockout rounds.
Last season, the Los Angeles Lakers claimed the first-ever in-season tournament trophy, marking a significant achievement in their franchise history.
Can LeBron James and his teammates replicate that success this year?
If they falter, which team stands the best chance of dethroning the defending champions?
