2025 NBA Cup Semifinals Showdown: Which Underdog Will Shock the Knicks and Spurs?
Furthermore, Orlando will be without SG Franz Wagner, its leading scorer and shot creator. That means Magic All-Star forward Paolo Banchero will get more usage in the NBA Cup semifinals. Paolo plays more iso-ball, is a bad outside shooter, and has an inefficient shot selection. NYK has two of the best defensive wings in basketball to throw at Banchero, too.Â
My other pro-Under factors include: New York scores fewer points on the road than at home. The Knicks are missing their two best 3-point shooters. The NBA Cup is in Las Vegas at a venue with unfamiliar sightlines, and this is a more meaningful game, so there should be more effort on defense. Both teams have higher defensive ratings than offensive ratings.Â
