he NBA Cup Quarterfinals are here, and if you’re looking to place a bet, the odds for tonight’s two matchups are intriguing, as a couple of massive injury questions loom. First you have the dominant Oklahoma City Thunder hosting the Phoenix Suns, whose chances to keep it competitive all come down to whether superstar Devin Booker suits up. In the late game, it’s the Los Angeles Lakers welcoming the San Antonio Spurs, who will be missing their star big man, Victor Wembanyama, to Crypto dot com Arena. These mid-season high stakes games present some exciting betting opportunities, so let’s quickly review the odds for both.
NBA Cup Quarterfinal Odds – Suns vs Thunder
*Rob Gray-Imagn ImagesThis NBA Cup Quarterfinal between the Phoenix Suns and the Oklahoma City Thunder may be a runaway regardless, but the health of Devin Booker is a huge storyline when it comes to the odds. The Thunder are unbelievably hot right now, sitting at 23-1 and undefeated at home, which is why they’re massive favorites, giving up around 14.5 points on the spread. They’ve got the MVP candidate, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and a top defense, so everyone expects them to roll to Vegas.
However, the whole betting landscape shifts if Booker is upgraded from questionable and plays tonight. He’s Phoenix’s key scorer, and his presence alone is enough to make that huge spread look risky. If he plays, the Suns have a shot of keeping things interesting as they did lose by just four points to OKC a couple of weeks ago. If he sits, though, expect the Thunder to make quick work of a short-handed Phoenix team and move on to the semi-finals. It’s a classic high-stakes, wait-and-see situation.

*Bill Streicher-Imagn ImagesThe late NBA Cup Quarterfinal features the Los Angeles Lakers hosting the San Antonio Spurs, and the betting line is heavily in L.A.’s favor, currently sitting around Lakers -7.5. The main reason for the big spread is the Spurs are playing without their star center, Victor Wembanyama, who is officially out with a calf strain. That’s not only a major detriment to their offense, but also a huge defensive loss against a Lakers team that’s been firing on all cylinders, led by MVP-level play from Luka Doncic and consistent production from LeBron James.
Despite Wembanyama’s absence, the Spurs are not a pushover; they’ve actually gone 8-3 in his absence, fueled by a fast-paced, high-scoring offense led by De’Aaron Fox. The high projected Over/Under, which is currently near $240$ points, indicates this should be a fast-paced shootout. While the Lakers have the home-court advantage and star power, the Spurs’ ability to push the tempo means they could certainly keep this game tight and challenging for the favorites.
