Expert NBA Cup betting analysis & picks for Bucks vs. Thunder 

Let's tap into the expertise of TSN's Stephen Noh and betting analyst Tony Mejia for their insights and picks on Bucks vs. Thunder. 

Noh notes that there is going to be plenty of star power in this game, and that Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo and OKC's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should finish in the top five in MVP voting at the end of the season.

Here's Stephen: "The Thunder are rightly favored in this matchup. They have had the tougher path to the final, beating great teams in the Rockets and Mavericks to get to this point. The Bucks faced a decimated Magic team and an underdog Hawks team, winning two close contests. ...

"The Thunder have good personnel to slow the Bucks down. Milwaukee has depended heavily on Antetokounmpo and (Damian) Lillard for most of its offense. Nobody is slowing down Antetokounmpo, but Lillard can be bothered into bad shooting performances." 

So, who wins and covers tonight?

"The Bucks are good, but the Thunder are better," Noh writes. "This should be a comfortable win for Oklahoma City, which looks like the strong favorite to make it to the other championship game in June."

Mejia offers a couple of prop bets to consider: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OVER 1.5 steals; Khris Middleton OVER 3.5 assists
