NBA Summer League: Wednesday's Picks

The Philadelphia 76ers and Utah Jazz both look for their first win of the NBA Summer League as the two teams meet tonight in Salt Lake City. Game time is 9:00 pm ET at Vivint Arena.

The Sixers opened up last night with a 103-99 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Philadelphia regulars Paul Reed and Isaiah Joe led the way in a losing effort with 20 and 19 points, respectively.

The Jazz were also on the losing end in their opener as they were blown out by the Oklahoma City Thunder, 98-77. A team-high 15 points from Xavier Sneed was not enough to offset the strong performance from the Thunder’s top draft pick, Chet Holmgren, who had a game-high 26 points.

Dunkel has the Sixers breaking through with a win, but failing to cover the Vegas line of -6.0. Defense should also dominate to keep the final score UNDER the Vegas total of 169.5.

Dunkel’s Pick: Utah (+6); UNDER.
