After nearly three weeks of action, the 2025-2026 NBA Season is in full gear, and the NBA Cup action is heating up. With no more unbeaten teams left, both conferences are heading for what will surely be competitive NBA Cup tournaments.

Despite some surprises in the standings, there have been some areas of consistency when it comes to NBA betting markets. Using BetSmart, we have been able to identify several that are worth wagering on during Friday's NBA Cup action, and the rest of the weekend.

NBA Middle Betting

While Middle Betting doesn't produce guaranteed profit like Arbitrage Betting does, it does create opportunities for bigger profits. Middle Bets are tough to land, but remember, you only need to win a few to make profit in the long run.

Using the Pickwatch Most Profitable Markets Tool, we are able to find several betting markets across all sports that are producing profit over the last 7 Days, 14 Days, 30 Days and the full season.

Total Assists

Total Assists has been one of the strongest player prop middle betting markets as of late. While it hasn't produced the best ROI, it has produced the most total opportunities.

So far this season, the BetSmart Middle Betting Tracker has identified 218 opportunities for Total Assists Middle Bets. With a 19% Win Rate, this market currently has a 154% ROI.

In tonight's NBA Cup action, you can take advantage of these Cade Cunningham lines:

Over 9.5 Assists (ESPN BET)
Under 10.5 Assists (bet365)

If Cunningham finishes with exactly 10 assists, you profit big. If he finishes higher or lower, you will win one bet, and take a small loss.
