NBA Cup east picks
Predicting who will advance from the NBA Cup semifinals in the Eastern Conference.
The Toronto Raptors have been one of the surprise teams in the NBA this year.
After winning just 25 games a season ago, the Raptors have stormed out to a 15-10 record in 2025. They’ve also dominated their NBA Cup matches, going 4-0 in those games with a +55 point differential, the third-best mark in the league.
However, their NBA Cup dreams could come to a screeching halt as they prepare to host the New York Knicks on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
At 16-7, the Knicks have the best overall record of any Eastern Conference team in the NBA Cup tournament. Furthermore, the team recently got OG Anunoby back after the forward suffered a hamstring injury in mid-November. Anunoby will now face his former team, and he has never lost, boasting a 4-0 record against Toronto since joining the Knicks.
