The competitive nature of players and coaches and a brighter spotlight on Tuesdays and Fridays figure to drive the action, perhaps beyond what might be the norm for non-tournament games early each season.
Bragging rights will be up for grabs, as will an NBA Cup Tournament MVP award and All-Tournament berths.
Intangibles such as building winning habits and locking in against fresh rivals are expected to be part of this, too.
