After avenging last year’s postseason loss with a win in the NBA Cup quarterfinals, the Oklahoma City Thunder advanced to the semifinals in Las Vegas and became the +210 favorites at DraftKings to win the tournament.

The New York Knicks finished group play as the favorite but now are the third favorite with +350 odds, given they have yet to play their quarterfinal game. They host the Atlanta Hawks as seven-point favorites on Wednesday.

For similar reason as OKC, the Milwaukee Bucks are the second favorite with +270 odds because they also advanced to the semifinals in Las Vegas. The Bucks outlasted the short-handed Orlando Magic on Tuesday, 114-109.

The semifinals are Saturday in las Vegas, followed by the championship game on Dec. 17.

In the quarterfinal, OKC defeated the Dallas Mavericks, 118-104. The Thunder were the top seed in last year’s playoffs but were eliminated by the Mavs in the Western Conference Finals.

The Hawks have the longest odds at +2200.
