Clippers vs Grizzlies Pick
The Clippers are 1-1 through two Summer League games in Vegas, losing their first to the Utah Jazz on Saturday before beating the Sacramento Kings on Monday evening. Xavier Moon, who saw some playing time with LA last season, is balling out, scoring 44 points through a pair of outings. Jordan Bowden also added 18 in the win over the Kings.
Memphis is also 1-1, grabbing a convincing victory over the Bulls and then getting blown out by the Cavaliers. Leading the way offensively has been Kenny Lofton Jr, who scored 23 in the Vegas opener. Although it is just Summer League, the Grizz will be motivated to respond Wednesday after losing by 23.
I do believe Memphis is going to respond. That was an embarrassing defeat. Take the spread.
Pick: Grizzlies -2.5 (-110)
Raptors vs Pistons Pick
Not a great start for Toronto in Sin City, sitting at 0-2. First-round pick Grady Dick has struggled and as a whole, no one is really standing out. Losses to the Bulls and Cavs were rather lopsided, too. Undrafted rookie Markquis Nowell, who starred in March Madness, has shown moments of brilliance, though.
The Pistons have one of the best young cores in the Association and that’s also been evident in the Summer League. Jaden Ivey, James Wiseman, and Jalen Duren are all getting reps in Vegas, while lottery pick Ausar Thompson is finding his footing. He’s even a long shot in the 2024 NBA Rookie of the Year odds. Detroit has beaten the Magic and fell to the Rockets thus far.
I love how much NBA talent is actually on this Pistons roster. They should handle the young Raps with ease.
Pick: Pistons -4.5 (-110)
Lakers vs Celtics Pick
Los Angeles is absolutely rolling with undrafted signee Colin Castleton looking like he could be the next Austin Reaves. The former Florida standout is averaging 15.8 PPG, 8.3 RPG, and 4.0 APG. Talk about versatility. He was key in the Lakers beating up the Hornets and the Warriors. Max Christie has also looked good.
23-of-33 FG
Did the Lakers find another undrafted gem? ��
