Kendrick Perkins Predicts Which Team Will Win NBA Cup

The semifinals of the NBA Cup will get underway in Las Vegas, with the Atlanta Hawks set to take on the Milwaukee Bucks and the Oklahoma City Thunder going head-to-head against the Houston Rockets.

The matchups are intriguing in their own ways, with the Bucks rising from the ashes of a disastrous start to the 2024-25 campaign to face the upstart Hawks, while arguably the best team in the league, the Thunder, play the Rockets, who are sitting just behind them in the Western Conference standings.

Even though these games might be entertaining and worthy showdowns in this in-season tournament, the Thunder are clearly the best team left standing, even though Chet Holmgren is still on the mend.

Ahead of these games, former NBA player and current ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins predicted which of the four teams will win it all.

“Kendrick Perkins has the Thunder winning the NBA Cup,” Clemente Almanza of OKC Thunder Wire wrote on X.
