Summer League Record: (-2.28 units) - Olympics Friendlies (0.00 units)
6:00PM CST: Memphis Grizzlies -8 vs. Oklahoma City Thunder; Total 180
This number tells us that Scottie Pippen Jr. and Zach Edey should be playing. If Jake LaRavia and GG Jackson play that is even better. We love this Grizzlies lineup. OKC is a three point shooting team only it has seemed like. They were red hot last night and I don’t see that happening again. I’m laying the points with he strong, hard nosed Grizzlies roster.
Play: Grizzlies -8 (-110) [via DraftKings]
6:00PM CST: Miami Heat -4.5 vs. Los Angeles Lakers; Total 178.5
The Heat do have a strong offensive roster and they played much better in their second game. The Lakers have struggled and have not shown us much yet. I’m not ready to throw a flyer on the Lakers. If Miami plays to their potential they should be fine. Late steam came in on the Lakers.
Play: Heat -4.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
8:00PM CST: Philadelphia 76ers vs. Utah Jazz -7.5; Total 181.5
This will be the third game in a row for both teams but the Jazz were able to rest Keyonte George and Walker Kessler. The 76ers have been running the same team and I am assuming they will do it for a third night in a row. Will the fatigue play a factor? Ricky Council IV took a step back from his 29 point outing and Jared McCain also went cold again after the first two minutes. I don’t like laying this number but this is just a bad recipe for the Sixers especially after the Jazz got destroyed last night.
Play: Utah -7.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
9:00PM CST: Sacramento Kings 2 vs. Golden State Warriors -8.5; Total 185
Another big favorite with the Warriors. Although, it does look like the Kings did make some changes and Keon Ellis looks to be playing with the Kings 2 tonight. There is no telling with Summer League so this may change. He should be able to set the tone defensively. The Mitch Richmond Cup goes to the winner.
Play: Kings 2 +8.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
9:30PM CST: Canada vs. USA -11; Total 200.5
This line has been jumping and moving all day. This is the new look USA basketball team out for blood but will they be ready in the first game? This is definitely Canada’s huge game and much anticipated. Canada has kept this matchup close the last two times they faced each other but this is a different USA team. There is plenty of unknowns and with that being said, I think the US is going to try and get some continuity together where as the Canadians have been playing together. I will take the points here and this might be a slow game where we get an under.
Play: Canada +11 (-110) [via DraftKings]
Play: UNDER 200.5 (-115) [via DraftKings]
