The 5 teams best positioned to dream of the NBA Cup 2024 title

If there's one thing that characterizes the revolutionary competitive format of the NBA Cup 2024, it's the potential for major surprises, and after the first two matchdays, that's already evident. Five teams have started with two wins each, showcasing their credentials for a title that could dramatically boost exciting sports projects.

Everything is decided in one month, with little margin for error, and on a night of inspiration, anyone can cause trouble. Being the best team in the NBA doesn't guarantee success in the NBA Cup 2024, which has kicked off with plenty of good basketball, excitement, and surprises. It's noteworthy that of the five teams remaining undefeated after two games, four are not currently in the best form in terms of gameplay and results during the regular season.

Of particular surprise is the case of the New York Knicks, who have shown resilience and secured two vital victories in a competition that could be a morale boost for the project to flourish. There are many aspects to refine in the Knicks' new project, but contending for this title could serve as a catapult for things to fall into place. They will have to battle in their group with the Orlando Magic, who have found collective inspiration to overcome Banchero's absence and position themselves favorably to pull off a surprise.

- Four teams from the East and only one from the West hold a 2-0 record in the current NBA Cup 2024

It's also quite astonishing to see two young, offensively talented teams, albeit not in a position to contend for a championship, leading the way in this NBA Cup 2024. This includes the Atlanta Hawks and Detroit Pistons, who dominate their respective groups and may just need a couple more wins, or even just one, to secure their spot in the quarterfinals. Less surprising is the Golden State Warriors being the only team from the West with a 2-0 record. We know how Curry and company perform in crucial games, so this competition could bring out their best in the coming matches.
