![]() ![]() He has a real shot to back up Nikola Jokic for the reigning champions and will get to work with Denver in their upcoming training camp. While his summer league stats were limited, the small showcase on top of his G League work led to a recent two-way contract signing with the Denver Nuggets. He was named the league’s Defensive Player of the Year and to the All-G League First Team for the year. He averaged 3.5 points, 2.5 blocks, and 3.5 rebounds in those contests, but his previous season in the G league shows how strong his professional potential really is:Īcross 28 games for two teams, Huff played 25.7 minutes a game, averaged just under 15 points, 40% (19/47 !!!) from 3, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks. This summer, he represented the Houston Rockets and made two appearances in the summer league competition. The former Virginia big man (and National Champion) has played in 11 regular season NBA games across the previous two seasons. Clark’s professional future is up in the air right now, as his contract was only for the summer league competition. His best performance came on Sunday against the Houston Rockets, where Clark played just under 12 minutes, scored six points, and added three assists and a steal to his stat line. National Champion Kihei Clark made three appearances for the Jazz’s summer league team last week. Denver Nuggets JKihei Clark - Utah Jazz Plus, with both teams combining for 184 points per game thus far, let’s splash a bit on the Under 185.5.We have signed guards Armaan Franklin and Andrew Funk to training camp contracts. So I like Memphis to complete the sweep, plus cover the 6.5-point spread. Despite committing 15(!!) fouls and turning the ball over nine times over the two games, Ochai Agbaji leads the Jazz in scoring, followed closely by Luka Samanic. The hometown Jazz, meanwhile, have stunk the joint up, losing both of their games by ten points. Jake LaRavia, Kenneth Lofton Jr, and Vince Williams Jr have led the way for the Griz. Memphis technically has already won this mini-tournament, beating Philadelphia and Oklahoma City already. The night concludes with a battle between the best and worst teams in Salt Lake City. Utah – 9:00 PM ET (Salt Lake City) – NBA TV ![]() Also, play the Over 184.5 since both teams have been relatively high-scoring squads, averaging a combined 189 points per game. So OKC on the moneyline at -190 is the play. But I’m not willing to lay the 4.5 points. They’re a solid squad, but I like the star power on the Thunder much more, even minus Williams. Philadelphia has relied on a team effort, with six players scoring in double digits in each game. Jalin Williams was so good in their first game that he was scratched for the second, so he’s either hurt or deemed “too good for summer league.” Perhaps worth checking on his status for Thursday before deciding on your bet here. Last year’s number-two overall draft pick, Chet Holgrem, is back and healthy for the NBA summer league after missing all of last year, and he’s been solid through OKC’s first two games, swatting seven shots and averaging double figures in points and boards.Īnd Tre Mann has been on fire for the team, scoring 20 and 28 points so far. The evening tips off with a battle for the silver medal, with Oklahoma City and Philadelphia splitting their first two games in Salt Lake City.
