Fantasy picks and betting tips for Wednesday's NBA Cup slate - ESPN

Wednesday night is the second half of the Emirates NBA Cup quarterfinals, featuring two games: the Atlanta Hawks at New York Knicks (7 p.m. ET on ESPN) and Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets (9:30 p.m. ET on TNT).

It's a short slate with concentrated action, but it's also a tournament where there is more on the line than a typical regular-season game.

I expect high intensity and some good performances, so let's dig a bit deeper into the matchups and find some fantasy hoops streamers and betting angles of interest.

Odds by ESPN BET

Jonathan Kuminga, Golden State Warriors (available in 41.6% of ESPN leagues)

Kuminga should be universally rostered. He has developed into one of the impact players on the Warriors and a nightly fantasy points producer. In his four games since re-entering the starting lineup, Kuminga has averaged 21.3 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 1.8 APG, 1.5 3PG, 1.5 BPG and 1.0 SPG in 31.8 MPG.

Larry Nance Jr., Atlanta Hawks (97.6% available)

This pick is dependent on the availability of Jalen Johnson (questionable, shoulder), who didn't play Monday and has reportedly not made a lot of progress in practice the last couple of days. Nance started in Johnson's place Monday and scored 16 points with four rebounds, three assists and two steals. If he gets another start on Wednesday, he could be a worthy streaming option on a light slate.

De'Andre Hunter, Atlanta Hawks (70.4%)

Hunter is listed as probable to play on Wednesday, and he enters the game on a roll.
