As you can see, there are really no huge favorites in any games here because the Summer League is so unpredictable. The Thunder at -195 NBA odds against the Rockets are the biggest favorite of the day with Chet Holmgren leading the way.

Nets vs Bucks Prediction
The Nets and Bucks meet Tuesday, with Milwaukee laying 2.5 points here. Brooklyn sits at 1-1, losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers in their opener before beating the New York Knicks on Sunday. Armoni Brooks poured in a team-high 21 points in the win, while backcourt mate David Duke Jr scored 19.
The Nets limited the Knicks to under 30% shooting from long range and drained 36% of their triples as well. Turnovers were a problem but thankfully, it didn’t come back to haunt them, only allowing 80 points.
The Bucks are one of five unbeaten teams in Vegas thus far, compiling a 2-0 record. MarJon Beauchamp powered Milwaukee in their first victory over the Nuggets before they took down the Suns. The second-year guard is averaging over 20 PPG through two outings.

Milwaukee has covered in both of their games and continues to look solid. Follow the trends.
Pick: Bucks -2.5 (-110)
Rockets vs Thunder Pick
Houston is another 2-0 team with a plethora of promising young talent. Jabari Smith has been balling in Sin City and so is Tari Eason. However, two are likely done for Summer League, with the Rockets shutting them down. Plus, rookie Amen Thompson just sprained his ankle.
The Rockets beat the Blazers on a Smith buzzer-beater Friday and then took grabbed a victory against the Pistons. Without Eason, Thompson, and Smith though, it’s hard to imagine they will be as dominant. Smith averaged over 30 points in the Summer League.

Holmgren was impressive in his Vegas debut last week in OKC’s lone game, pouring in 16 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. He’s also one of the frontrunners in the 2024 NBA Rookie of the Year odds behind Wembanyama. But, rookie Cason Wallace really stood out, scoring 20 in 27 minutes. There is a lot of intriguing youngsters on this Thunder roster, even in the Summer League. You can’t count them out.
Houston is without three of their best players. Take that OKC spread with confidence.
Pick: Thunder -5 (-110)
Trail Blazers vs Hornets Pick
Shaedon Sharpe and the Blazers take their 1-1 record into Wednesday’s matchup with Brandon Miller and the Hornets.
Portland dropped a heartbreaker to the Rockets on Friday but bounced back Sunday spoiling Wemby’s 27-point showing with a 85-80 win over the Spurs. Michael Devoe erupted for 29 while Sharpe had a quiet night with only nine points. The bench was productive though with 32 points.
Charlotte is, unfortunately, sitting at 0-2 with defeats to the Spurs and Lakers. Miller, their first-round pick last month, is struggling, averaging just 13 points through a pair of games.
Brandon Miller had 7 fouls and 6 turnovers in his Summer League debut.

Portland barely covered Sunday and the Hornets are due for a win. I’d at least take Charlotte ATS.
Pick: Hornets +4 (-110)
