- Bam Adebayo has recorded a double-double in each of his two games against the Magic this season and has +110 odds to record one tonight.
- Brandon Ingram has scored less than 20 points in five of his last seven games against the Knicks.
ORLANDO, Fla. – Tuesday marks the beginning of the 2025 NBA Cup Quarterfinals, starting with the Miami Heat against the Orlando Magic, followed by the Toronto Raptors hosting the New York Knicks.
Heat vs Magic Game Odds
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat | +1.0 (-115) | -110 | O 235.5 (-110) |
| Magic | -1.0 (-105) | -110 | U 235.5 (-110) |
The one point spread at legal sports betting sites indicates that this one is essentially a toss up, as well as the moneyline for both teams sitting at -110.
The Magic will be without their leading scorer Franz Wagner for the first time this season after he suffered a high left ankle sprain against the Knicks on Sunday.
Last season, Orlando recorded a mediocre 8-14 record in games without Wagner.
So far this season, they’ve won both of their contests against Miami, but it took Wagner to lead them in scoring each time. Without their top offensive threat, it will be difficult for the Magic to keep pace with Miami’s frantic playstyle.
Bet Miami to win outright at -110 odds and bet on Bam Adebayo to record a double-double at +110 odds.
Adebayo is averaging 19.2 points per game and 9 rebounds per game this season, recording nine double-doubles in 18 games, including one in each of his two games against the Magic. He has recorded a double-double in four of his last six games overall.
Knicks vs Raptors Game Odds
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knicks | -5.0 (-110) | -200 | O 226.5 (-110) |
| Raptors | +5.0 (-110) | +170 | U 226.5 (-110) |
Legal NBA betting sites list the Knicks as five point favorites on the road, winning seven of their last eight games while the Raptors have lost five of their last six.
Karl-Anthony Towns is listed as questionable for this one with a calf injury, but was reportedly able to practice on Monday, casting some optimism over his status tonight.
For Toronto, RJ Barrett remains out with a knee sprain, which has led the Raptors to go 3-5 since the end of November. Toronto is 12-5 with Barrett in the lineup this season.
The Knicks defeated the Raptors 116-94 just over a week ago. Bettors should lean towards New York to cover the five point spread here for another comfortable win.
A player prop that bettors may want to consider in this one is Brandon Ingram under 22.5 points at -105 odds.
Ingram had been struggling prior to his 30 point performance against the Celtics, scoring under 22.5 points in the previous five games and shooting just 37.8% from the field during that span.
He also has not had the best track record against the Knicks, scoring under 20 points in five of his last seven games against New York while shooting 42% from the field.
