Action Network Staff Release NBA Cup Betting Predictions for Nov. 13

Warriors Face Spurs

The Action Network staff projects value on the Golden State Warriors at plus-11.5 against the San Antonio Spurs despite Stephen Curry sitting out the matchup. Without Curry on the floor this season, the Warriors maintain a plus-3.2 net rating.

Draymond Green remains active for physical defense, while Yaxel Lendenborg contributes scoring and rebounding. The staff recommends taking the Warriors at plus-11.5 with standard minus-110 odds.

For player props, Victor Wembanyama enters Friday with an over-27.5 points line priced at minus-125. Wembanyama continues to log heavy minutes and high scoring figures regardless of final margins, maintaining a 25-point absolute floor against Golden State over the last two seasons.

Trail Blazers Meet Kings

The Portland Trail Blazers enter their NBA Cup contest against the Sacramento Kings as 9.5-point favorites with minus-115 odds. Portland ranks first offensively in pick-and-roll efficiency according to Synergy Sports.

Sacramento struggles defensively in pick-and-roll situations and sits 27th in creating shots at the rim. Donovan Clingan provides a notable size advantage down low to control offensive rebounds and contest shots in the paint.

Domantas Sabonis logged 27 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists in the first meeting between these teams in Sacramento, which the Kings covered by 1.5 points. Portland aims to push the pace in this Cup matchup.

Thunder Host Clippers

The Oklahoma City Thunder face the Los Angeles Clippers with a team total projection under 108.5 points at minus-118 odds. In 18 historical NBA Cup games, Oklahoma City has held opponents under their team total in 13 contests.

The Thunder maintain the league’s top defensive ranking despite absorbing roster losses to injuries. Statistical modeling projects the Clippers at 104 points for Friday night’s matchup based on current offensive output.

Knicks Play Pacers

Jalen Brunson carries an over-24.5 points prop at minus-118 odds for the New York Knicks against the Indiana Pacers. Brunson has logged recent scoring games of 27, 23, 31, and 33 points.

Indiana operates at a top-10 pace and plays primarily in drop coverage, a defensive scheme Brunson historically targets effectively. Rotational adjustments involving Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart could secure increased floor-spacing minutes for Landry Shamet and Miles McBride.

Bucks Battle Magic

The Milwaukee Bucks are listed at plus-9 with minus-110 odds against the Orlando Magic. Both teams enter the game on the second night of a three-games-in-four-nights stretch.

Statistical models point to a tighter spread than the double-digit figures set by oddsmakers, highlighting offensive inconsistencies for Orlando. Nate Ament draws an over-9.5 points prop at plus-102 odds following his first career start in Milwaukee’s previous game.

Grizzlies Visit Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans receive plus-2.5 points at minus-108 odds against the Memphis Grizzlies. Memphis has dropped four of its last five games and failed to cover the spread in four of those contests.

Memphis continues to face defensive vulnerabilities when handling opposing size without Zach Edey anchoring the interior.
