Welcome to Hoops with Noops. Happy Friday and happy NBA Cup day! I’ve said it here before, but will mention again that no matter how important you think the NBA Cup is, players are taking it seriously and giving us some of the best games we’ve had in November and December in years.
Motivation and level of effort had generally be low to begin the season in the past, but the NBA Cup seems to have solved some of those problems. Point differential is the tiebreaker for teams that finish with the same record and we’ve seen teams play hard through the very end of the game to make sure they win by as many points as possible or to keep their opponent from winning by too many. Winning or losing by 20-plus points makes no difference in a regular regular season game, but in an NBA Cup game it matters.
Let’s enjoy what should be a good night of basketball and maybe even win some money. Be sure to check the FTN Discord for any adds later in the day, but here’s what I’ve bet already.
NBA Best Bets for Friday
Boston Celtics at Washington Wizards
