Provoke has a negative connotation, it usually refers to causing something or someone to do something that’s not good. “Don’t provoke the dog, it might bite you”.
To tempt means to cause someone to want to do something. It can be something good or bad.
“Don’t tempt me by eating pizza in front of me”
