Day 1: NBA Cup Friday
Every team gets four Group Play games, and only the six group winners plus one wild card per conference make the knockout rounds. That makes nights like this one count.
The headliner: LeBron James returns to Cleveland when the 76ers visit the Cavaliers at 7:30 p.m. ET in East Group B, the toughest group in the tournament. Tyrese Maxey and LeBron face a Cavs backcourt of James Harden and Donovan Mitchell, with the defending champion Knicks, Miami and Indiana also fighting for the same spot.
The pick: Hornets vs. Celtics. Boston is the favorite in East Group C on paper, but the Celtics have been knocked out in the group stage in each of the last two seasons. Charlotte is at home, Brandon Miller leads a young, hungry roster, and a home underdog in a Cup game is a spot worth backing. Take the Hornets and the points with your first $5.
Tonight’s NBA Cup schedule:
- Wizards at Hawks, 7:00 p.m. ET
- Celtics at Hornets, 7:00 p.m. ET
- 76ers at Cavaliers, 7:30 p.m. ET
- Jazz at Mavericks, 8:00 p.m. ET
- Thunder at Grizzlies, 8:00 p.m. ET
- Raptors at Bucks, 8:00 p.m. ET
- Timberwolves at Pelicans, 8:00 p.m. ET
- Trail Blazers at Lakers, 10:00 p.m. ET
- Spurs at Kings, 10:00 p.m. ET
Day 2: College Football Saturday
Saturday’s college football slate gives you a full day of options for your second $5 bet, from the noon window through the late games out West.
Day 3: NFL Sunday
Week 9 includes an early international game in Madrid, with the Bengals facing the Falcons at 9:30 a.m. ET, followed by a full afternoon slate and Sunday Night Football.
Day 4: Bills vs Vikings on Monday Night Football
Your fourth and final $5 bet lands on Monday night, when Buffalo visits Minnesota at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN. That’s the one that gets you to the full $200.
How the Math Works
Four days, four $5 bets, four $50 bonus bet drops. It doesn’t matter whether your bets win or lose. As long as you bet $5 or more each day, the $50 arrives once the wager settles. Win your bets, and you keep the cash winnings on top of it.
Start tonight with the NBA Cup and finish with Monday Night Football. New users can bet $5 for four days with FanDuel and get $200 in bonus bets guaranteed.
