It’s NBA Cup time again this Saturday and there are plenty of primetime matchups to look out for. I’ve got tips and stats for two of the best matchups. First-up, the Pistons and Magic go to battle in Detroit. Then, it’s the Spurs looking for a road upset against the Nuggets.
Orlando Magic (11-8) at Detroit Pistons (15-3)
Saturday 29/11/2025 at 11:30am AEDT. Venue: Little Caesars Arena (Detroit)
The Pistons are coming off a rare loss this season and that should fire them up to bounce back against the Magic in NBA Cup action on Saturday morning. Here are my NBA betting tips for this one.
| SGM Bet | Cade Cunningham Over 5.5 Rebounds – Jalen Suggs Over 5.5 Assists – Franz Wagner Over 21.5 Points | $4.20 |
|---|---|---|
| Best Bet | Pistons -2.5 | $1.83 |
Last 5 Form
Detroit Pistons
Detroit come off their first loss in a month when they went down to the Cetlics in Boston 117-114. But, they still sit atop the East with a 15-3 record and have won 7 of 8 at home this season.
Orlando Magic
The Magic hold a 4-1 record in their last 5 games. Last game, they thrashed the undermanned 76ers by 41 pts. But they’ll be expecting a much closer game this Saturday.

Best Bet
The Pistons are tough to beat at home, winning 7 of their last 8. After a loss against the Celtics, that should be motivation enough to beat the Magic. Orlando haven’t been overly great on the road this season, going 4-5.
NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Pistons against the Magic.
- 1st Leg – Cade Cunningham Over 5.5 Rebounds: Cunningham has 8, 11 and 8 rebounds in his last 3 games, making the 5.5 rebounds target a safe bet.
- 2nd Leg – Jalen Suggs Over 5.5 Assists: Suggs had a tough shooting game last game but his assists were on point. He finished with 11 in a big win over the 76ers and has gone over 5.5 assists in 4 of his last 5 games.
- 3rd Leg – Franz Wagner Over 21.5 Points: Wagner is usually a reliable scoring threat for the Magic. He comes off 21 pts last game and has a ceiling of 37 in 1 of his last 5 games. He also has a good record against the Pistons, scoring 30+ pts in 2 of his last 3.
San Antonio Spurs (12-5) at Denver Nuggets (13-4)
Saturday 29/11/2025 at 1:30pm AEDT. Venue: Ball Arena (Denver)
Two of the best teams in the West go head to head on Saturday afternoon when the Nuggets host the Spurs. Here’s my betting tips and stats for this matchup.
| SGM Bet | Peyton Watson 15+ Points – Nikola Jokic 10+ Assists – De’Aaron Fox 25+ Points | $5.00 |
|---|---|---|
| Best Bet | Spurs +7.5 | $1.83 |
Last 5 Form
Denver Nuggets
Denver hold a solid 3-2 record in their last 5. However, they’ve lost back to back home games and they’ll be looking to avoid going 0-3.
San Antonio Spurs
After a loss against the Suns, the Spurs bounced back in their last game, beating the Trail Blazers 115-102. They’re 4-1 in their last 5 and continue to play well despite the injury to Wemby.

Best Bet
The Spurs should head to Denver with a lot of confidence after a 13 pt road win and they’re now 2-1 in their last 3 road games. Denver haven’t been great at home lately, losing close games against the Kings and Bulls. So take the Spurs to cover.
NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Nuggets against the Spurs.
- 1st Leg – Peyton Watson 15+ Points: With Aaron Gordon out with injury, Watson is stepping up. He comes off 27 pts in the Nuggets last win and has scored 32 pts recently too.
- 2nd Leg – Nikola Jokic 10+ Assists: Jokic is always a good target in the assists markets and this game should be no different. He totalled 16 assists last game and had 10 assists in his last game against the Spurs.
- 3rd Leg – De’Aaron Fox 25+ Points: Fox is averaging 26 pts in his last 5 games and offers good value to continue the trend. He has scored 25+ pts in 3 of his last 5 matches against the Nuggets too.
