Squirrel’s Nuts & Bolts NBA - December 9th, 2025

The very light NBA schedule for this week continues on Tuesday with the NBA Cup quarterfinals. The games tip off an hour early with MIA/ORL at 6 PM ET, followed by the NYK/TOR game at 8:30 PM ET. The slate will require some planning, with Dru Smith as the only Questionable player in the early game, but Karl-Anthony Towns, Immanuel Quickley, and Jamal Shead are all Questionable in the late game. Franz Wagner is out for the Magic, while Miles McBride is out for the Knicks.
