NBA Cup 2024: Bracket Clinching Scenarios Ahead of Final Group Play Games

Five of the eight knockout-round spots in the 2024 NBA Cup must be filled on Tuesday.

The Atlanta Hawks, Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors have already clinched their spots as group winners.

The other group winners in the Eastern Conference will be easy to figure out. The Orlando Magic and New York Knicks square off for the East Group A crown, while the Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks face off for first place in East Group B.

West Group B is down to the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder, but they don't play each other. San Antonio needs a win to get through, while OKC needs a win and a Spurs loss.

The wild-card spots handed out to best second-place teams in each conference have to be figured out as well. A handful of teams in each conference are still alive to advance to the quarterfinals that way.
