00:00Let's start big picture looking at it overall.
00:08The pre-NBA Cup favorites were the NBA championship favorites in the reigning NBA title winners
00:16in the Boston Celtics.
00:18They are no longer even in the top ten as their fate is not necessarily in their hands
00:24here as things would go to earn one of those two wildcard spots around the NBA Cup.
00:32So the co-favorites currently are the Orlando Magic and the Oklahoma City Thunder both at
00:37a 5-1 price.
00:39The Knicks will play Orlando tonight in a crucial game in East Group A we'll talk about
00:44in just a moment at Madison Square Garden.
00:47They're only 50 cents back.
00:48The Warriors have the second best price of teams from the Western Conference at 6-1 followed
00:53by the Rockets at plus $7.50 to round out that top five.
00:57Yeah.
00:58I mean, listen, it's a interesting setup here, Ben, so far, right?
01:04Because three of the six group winners have already been decided in this group play action.
01:09So we've got kind of uncertainty every place else here and that Knicks-Orlando game I think
01:16is fantastic here tonight because Orlando pretty much already because they've blown
01:21everyone as long as they don't lose by what 40 points here tonight to the Knicks.
01:26They're good, right?
01:27So it's the Knicks that are on the verge of elimination here tonight.
01:32That's why you kind of see the Magic and the Knicks kind of at the same price, Ben.
01:36So who do you think wins that game should also be part of your who you think is going
01:41to win the NBA Cup because the way Orlando is playing right now, they could very well
01:48run the table on anybody here, Ben, including the Knicks here tonight and including run
01:53the table for this NBA Cup.
01:55I think there's some value with them.
