2024 NBA Cup: Bracket, semifinal matchups, how to watch knockout games
2024 NBA Cup predictions for the final four teams
Predictions for which four teams will advance to Las Vegas from the 2024 NBA Cup quarterfinals.
The 2024 Emirates NBA Cup semifinals have arrived, and the four remaining teams are converging on Las Vegas to determine the winner of the second edition of the NBA’s in-season knockout tournament.
T-Mobile Arena will host Saturday’s semifinals as well as Tuesday night’s championship game. The action will start with an Eastern Conference battle between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Atlanta Hawks.
Milwaukee swept East Group B before holding off the Orlando Magic in the quarterfinals, with Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s 37 points leading the way. Atlanta won East Group C and claimed a semifinal place by ousting the New York Knicks thanks in part to a double-double from Trae Young.
Later on Saturday, the Oklahoma City Thunder face the Houston Rockets in a game between the top two teams in the Western Conference standings.
Oklahoma beat the Dallas Mavericks 118-104 in the quarterfinals, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander‘s 39 points a major factor. Houston, meanwhile, capitalized on a late collapse by the Golden State Warriors to win their quarterfinal 91-90.
