Today’s 2024 NBA Summer League Best Bets: Timberwolves vs. Rockets

Here are our top picks for today’s 2024 NBA Summer League action.

Timberwolves vs. Rockets

Talent will be on display for this matchup between the Timberwolves and the Rockets. The Minnesota team touts two highly anticipated rookies in Robert Dillingham and Terrance Shannon Jr. Both have had their flashes of impressing at this showcase in Las Vegas but they lost on Tuesday in a tightly contested game with the 76ers. They’ll take on a two-headed Summer League monster in Reed Sheppard and Cam Whitmore. Sheppard and Whitmore have been two of the best scorers this entire week as they’ve both gone off for 20-point outbursts of their own. They’re also coming off of a performance Monday that likely leaves a bad taste in their mouths, especially Whitmore who shot 1/15 from the field. You should expect a bounce-back performance from both teams, particularly on the offensive end. There is a lot of offensive talent on both teams and we could see some serious scoring.

Pick: OVER 179.5 (-110)
