Wednesday’s NBA action will see the first two NBA Cup quarterfinals being played. First up, we have the Magic and Heat going to battle. Then another East rivalry matchup between the Knicks and Raptors in Toronto. Here are my NBA betting tips for each matchup on Wednesday!
Wednesday 10/12/2025 at 10:00am AEDT. Venue: Amway Center (Orlando)
The Heat and Magic go head to head in the 1st NBA Cup quarterfinal on Wednesday morning. Here are my NBA betting tips for this matchup.
| SGM Bet | Jalen Suggs 15+ Points – Tyler Herro 20+ Points – Anthony Black 6+ Rebounds | $4.20 |
|---|---|---|
| Best Bet | Under 234 Points | $1.88 |
The Magic are 3-2 in their last 5 but have lost 2 of their last 3. Last game, they lost a low scoring affair against the Knicks on the road 106-100. They are undefeated in the NBA Cup, going 4-0.
The Heat are not in the best form at the moment after losing 4 of their last 5. Their last game was a shocker too, going down 127-111 on their home court. However, they’ll be fired up to avenge a recent 1 pt loss against the Magic at this arena.

The two sides have met twice this season and the Magic are 2-0. However, both games have been decided by under 5 pts.
| Home | Score | Away | Result | Arena | Margin | Total | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 106-105 | Magic won by 1 pts | @ Orlando | 1 | 211 | Sat 6-Dec-2025 | ||
| 125-121 | Magic won by 4 pts | @ Orlando | 4 | 246 | Thu 23-Oct-2025 |
This should be another tight contest between these two teams and it’s trending towards the Under. The Under is now 5-2 in the Heat’s last 7 games and the Magic also have a nice 4-1 record against the Under in their last 5. The last clash totalled just over 200 points so 234 seems a bit high.
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Magic against the Heat.

In the 2nd NBA Cup quarterfinal, it’s another divisional matchup when the Knicks head to Toronto for a matchup with the Raptors.
| SGM Bet | Josh Hart 8+ Rebounds – Jalen Brunson 30+ Points – Brandon Ingram 25+ Points | $6.50 |
|---|---|---|
| Best Bet | New York Knicks -5 | $1.90 |
Toronto have shown improvement this season but not at the moment. Over their last 6 games, they’re just 1-5. In this home-stand, they’ve lost 3 straight games against the Celtics, Hornets and Lakers.
The Knicks are red-hot coming into this clash with 3 straight wins and they’re the #2 seed in the East. They’ve covered the line in 7 of their last 8 and also like facing the Raptors.
| Team | Opp | Score | Result | H/A | Date | – | Team | Opp | Score | Result | H/A | Date |

| 94-116 | L | Away | 01/12/25 | – | 116-94 | W | Home | 01/12/25 |
New York has dominated this head to head, winning 9 straight against the Raptors.
| Home | Score | Away | Result | Arena | Margin | Total | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 116-94 | Knicks won by 22 pts | @ New York | 22 | 210 | Mon 1-Dec-2025 | ||
| 115-121 | Knicks won by 6 pts | @ Toronto | 6 | 236 | Wed 5-Feb-2025 |
The trends are all over the Knicks to continue their dominance over the Raptors. In the last 9 meetings, the Knicks have covered in 8 of 9. At the moment, the Raptors form just isn’t there and the Knicks are playing much better Basketball. So I expect them to make it 10 straight wins over Toronto and cover a pretty short line.
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Raptors against the Knicks.
