The NBA Cup shifts to Las Vegas on Saturday as the semifinals begin at T-Mobile Arena.
The doubleheader begins at 5:30 p.m. ET with the New York Knicks facing the Orlando Magic, before the Oklahoma City Thunder match up with the San Antonio Spurs (9 p.m. ET). Winners of each matchup advance to the finals, which will be Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. ET.
The Magic defeated the Miami Heat 117-108 in the quarterfinals, led by a season-high 37 points from guard Desmond Bane. Though the Magic will be without leading scorer Franz Wagner due to a left ankle sprain, Paolo Banchero is back. He missed nearly a month due to a groin injury and has appeared in Orlando's previous three games.
