Pistons – Bucks, who will win Group B in the East?
The Pistons and Bucks are in the same group in the first round of the NBA Cup. Both teams also won their first three matches, turning their evening clash into a true Group B final in the East. The winner will get their ticket to the quarter-finals of the competition, the loser will have to take out the calculators to hope for a favorable tie-breaker. Can Cade Cunningham and the Pistons achieve the feat against the unstoppable Giannis Antetokounmpo?
In Group A in the East, we have a similar scenario with the Magic and the Knicks, undefeated for the moment in the NBA Cup and who are competing for first place in the group. We will also keep an eye on it.
