I have no desire to back either of these teams given their current injury issues. Instead, I think that the under is the best bet for this game. We should see some role players have big games, but the lack of stars like Trae Young and Tyrese Haliburton will hurt the scoring output in this one. I'll go with the under in what should be a low-scoring but competitive game in the NBA Cup.
