NBA Summer League: Saturday's Picks

Cam Thomas brings his NBA Summer League-leading scoring average into tonight’s game as the Brooklyn Nets face the Boston Celtics in Las Vegas. Game time is 8:00 pm ET at Thomas & Mack Center.

Thomas, who is averaging 28.0 ppg in four summer league games, scored 26 points on Thursday to lead the Nets to a 102-83 win over Minnesota. The victory evened Brooklyn’s record at 2-2 in Vegas.

They should get a tougher challenge from a Celtics team that has won three straight.  Boston’s most recent win came on Thursday in a 108-91 shootout over Memphis. JD Davison led the way with 22 points, while guard Brodric Thomas added 21.

Dunkel has the Nets picking up the win tonight and covering the Vegas line of -2.5 while the final score stays UNDER the Vegas total of 177.5.

Dunkel’s Pick: Brooklyn (-2 ½); UNDER.
