Today's Summer League picks
Hornets moneyline (-194 at Kalshi)
The Milwaukee Bucks are one of just two teams yet to win an NBA Summer League game in Sin City. It's been a tough go for a young Bucks lineup that's been outscored 304 to 254 across three games.
The Bucks now take on a Charlotte Hornets team that's shown plenty of promise in Las Vegas, thanks to Liam McNeeley (65 points in 81 minutes). Last year's first-round pick has been one of the hottest hands in NBA Summer League, hitting 52.6% from behind the arc.

With McNeeley and rookie first-round pick Christian Anderson Jr. providing sharpshooting on the outside, while Hannes Steinbach and Ryan Kalkbrenner own the paint, Milwaukee is going to struggle to keep up with Charlotte.
The Bucks are shooting just 39.6% from the floor and 64.1% from the free-throw line in Vegas.
Celtics moneyline (-133 at Kalshi)
The Sacramento Kings have lost their last two NBA Summer League games by 51 points, and it's becoming increasingly clear that if rookie Darius Acuff Jr.'s shot isn't falling, the team is in trouble.
His shot has not been falling lately, with the No. 7 pick shooting 36.5% from the floor and 26.3% from three in Vegas. And since the Kings played last night, there's also a chance Acuff sees limited minutes tonight.

That spells trouble for the Kings, with the Boston Celtics' Summer League lineup featuring so much length and athleticism. Dillon Mitchell (39 points in 79 minutes), Chris Cenac Jr. (32 points in 68 minutes), and Hugo Gonzalez (31 points in 70 minutes) should create problems for Sacramento's frontcourt.
Boston also has steady guard play coming from Milos Uzan (24 points and 15 assists in 85 minutes) and John Tonje (42 points in 74 minutes), something the Kings lack.
Spurs moneyline (+133 at Kalshi)
Why are the Utah Jazz favorites tonight? It must be because of No. 2 pick Darryn Peterson, who didn't play in Utah's lone win in Las Vegas.

While Peterson's numbers have popped in Vegas (47 points in 56 minutes), his shooting has been unimpressive (33.3% from the floor, 30% from three). That won't cut it against a San Antonio Spurs Summer League roster predominantly made up of high-upside defenders.
San Antonio has allowed just 222 points in three games, thanks in large part to the length and physicality of its lineup, with players like Carter Bryant , Tarris Reed Jr., and Maliq Brown. Those three have helped the Spurs rack up 10 steals and 7.3 blocks per game.
And the speedy guard duo of Ja'Kobi Gillespie (39 points in 74 minutes) and RJ Davis (37 points in 72 minutes) can provide enough offense for the Spurs to secure a third win.
