The NBA cup final is set to happen today in Las Vegas! OKC will face off against the Bucks and Giannis Antekotounmpo, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton are all still questionable. Khris Middleton already hinted that he’ll play and both teams should be at full strength to decide who will be the next Cup champion! If you look at the past 10 games, OKC is 9-1 on the back the 2nd best defensive rating, that sits at 103.4. And they’re also 5th in offensive rating! And what about their major (and only?) weakness? Well, they have improved via Isaiah Hartenstein and rank 17th on reb%. But the Bucks are not too far behind! They have a record of 8-2 on the past 10 games, ranking 2nd in efg% and ts%! Giannis has been averaging a ridiculous 34.4 ppg, 10.3 rpb and 6.4 apg in those 10 games on 63% from the field, with just seven threes taken total. But he’s not the only one responsible for the 2nd best shooting efectiveness. Damian Lillard, A.J. Green and the myriad of Bucks shooters have been spectacular! With a 215.5 O/U and OKC favoured by -5.5 points (ESPN data), let’s get right into this NBA Cup battle!

OKC -5.5

Captain

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Salary: $18,000 / $12,000

In December, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 31.7 ppg, 6 rpg, 5.3 apg and 2.3 spg and leading OKC to a 5-1 record. Those are MVP worthy stats, and Shai is facing a defense that allows the most points and 4th best fg% to opposing teams! If you were ranking both teams stars today, Shai should get the edge vs. Giannis due to the fact that the former is facing the team the allows the worst fg% to opposing PFs and is bottom-10 in points and assists allowed. In the past three Bucks game, they allowed a 35/7/10 from Trae Young, 32 points from Jalen Suggs and 34 points and 11 assists from Dennis Schroeder. His past performance merged with how the Bucks have been doing against opposing PGs bumps Shai from a great option to an absolutely amazing play today!
