The Salt Lake City Summer League wraps up today with two games at the University of Utah. But fret not – the real summer action in the NBA tips off on Thursday in Las Vegas. Here are your NBA Summer League predictions and preview for Tuesday, July 7th.
NBA Summer League Predictions & Preview for Tuesday, July 7th
Atlanta Hawks vs Memphis Grizzlies
Start Time – 7:00 PM EST
The Atlanta Hawks and the Memphis Grizzlies both head into action in Salt Lake City tonight with 1-1 records, so this game decides who leaves a winner and who a loser.
The Grizzlies can run out a very impressive roster, assuming everyone plays, including #3 draft pick Cameron Boozer, who has looked sharp, plus veterans Cedric Coward, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, and Javon Small. I’m trusting their talent advantage over the Hawks to play out on the court.
Best Bet: Memphis -3.5 (-110)
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Utah Jazz
Start Time – 9:00 PM EST
The home side, the 2-0 Utah Jazz, wrap up the action in Salt Lake City with the league’s final game, facing the 0-2 Oklahoma City Thunder. The Jazz will look to run the table in front of their home fans (spoiler alert: I think they’ll pull it off).
The Thunder hasn’t exactly sent a star-studded roster to Utah, and it’s shown on the court. Meanwhile, #2 pick Darryn Peterson has looked great for the undefeated Jazz, going for 25 points and 12 assists in their last game, a win over Boozer and the Grizzlies.
Best Bet: Utah -3.5 (-115)
