NBA Cup Finals Odds & Betting: Bet on the 2024 NBA Cup 

Also known as the Emirates NBA Cup, this prestigious tournament is played throughout the regular NBA season, debuting in 2023/24, where it was initially referred to as the In-Season Tournament. It follows a traditional format that many sports betting fans will be familiar with, starting with a group stage before progressing to a single elimination bracket all the way to the Grand Finals.  

Each conference is split into three groups of five, leading to a total of six groups, with a round-robin format being implemented. Throughout November, Tuesdays and Fridays are dedicated to the NBA Cup, however, it’s worth noting that all of these games also count towards the main NBA season. Each team will play two games away during the group stages, alongside two at home.  

Four teams from each conference will progress to the Quarter-Finals, with the hosts of each game being determined via whoever had the best record throughout groups. The semi-finals and the finals will be played in Las Vegas, however, the grand final will not count as a game for the regular season.   

All players who are part of the team that wins the NBA Cup will receive $500,000, with this honour going to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2023. The MVP, as voted on by media members and fans, was LeBron James.  

In the 2024 iteration of the NBA Cup, the Grand Finals will take place on Wednesday the 18th of December, with tip-off being scheduled for 1:30 am BST. The semi-finals will be played on the previous weekend, the 14th and 15th of December at 9:30 pm BST and 1:30 am BST, respectively.

To Reach The Final

As the name of this bet suggests, it involves picking a team that will reach the grand finals match in the NBA Cup.
