The Hornets will be looking for their first victory but they’re a 3-point underdog against the Timberwolves. The Bucks and Kings sit at 2-2, which is why there is no clear favorite in that matchup. Warriors vs Raptors is an interesting one too as neither squad has yet to collect a W in Sin City.

Hornets vs Timberwolves Pick
It’s been a rather disappointing showing for the Hornets in Vegas, failing to win a game. They fell to 0-4 with a loss to the Pelicans on Thursday.
Lottery pick Brandon Miller has looked respectable though, averaging over 17 PPG. James Bouknight scored 28 against New Orleans. Saturday is a chance for Charlotte to finish Summer League on a high note, but Miller is officially done.

Minnesota isn’t doing much better, sitting at 1-3. After winning their first outing, the Timberwolves have lost three in a row. The Kings beat them by 13 on Thursday. They’ve shot just 26.5% from three-point land in the tournament.
Charlotte is averaging under 80 PPG and Minny is barely putting up 92. This feels like the perfect opportunity to hammer the under.
Pick: Under 179.5 Points (-110)
Warriors vs Raptors Pick
This affair will see another pair of winless teams go to battle. The Dubs have scored 94.8 PPG but are giving up more than 100. They just got blown out by the surging Rockets by a score of 118-101.
Defense has been non-existent for Golden State in Vegas, unfortunately. It’s not like a lot of these guys are going to get minutes at the NBA level once the season starts, but going 0-4 and potentially 0-5 is certainly not ideal.
Summer Raptors can’t catch a break. After coughing up a 17-point lead in yesterday’s loss, they erased a 17pt deficit today only to lose in OT. They fall to 0-4 and are now shooting 26-for-122 (21%) from 3 in Vegas with 1 more game to go this weekend. Gradey Dick sat out today.

The Raptors, at 0-4, just fell to the Brooklyn Nets and prior to that, the Detroit Pistons, but there were some positives.
First-round pick Gradey Dick balled out and showed why he could be a special player for Toronto for years to come, pouring in 22 points while grabbing seven rebounds and dishing out three assists. A very promising performance. Dick is sitting for the final game of Summer League, though.
No Dick and no Markquis Nowell. I like the Dubs.
Pick: Warriors -1.5 (-110)
