Friday’s Best NBA Summer League Picks: Hawks vs. Heat
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Atlanta Hawks (+5) vs. Miami Heat (+176) | O/U 175.5 (-112/-112)
The Hawks have some talented players that fans will be eager to see, like Kobe Bufkin (third-year player; former 15th overall draft pick) and this year's first-round selection, Asa Newell. Miami will, of course, have some talent on the roster like Kasparas Jakucionis, Kel’el Ware, Keshad Johnson and Pelle Larsson. Since they've already played three Summer League games (California Classic, they went 2-1).
That time together gives the Heat an edge. But since they've already seen playing time, the team could opt to give other players more time to develop. Until we know they are not going to play, we have to assume they will. That experience makes the Heat -5 a good bet.
Pick: Heat -5 (-110)
