Today’s 2024 NBA Summer League Best Bets: Heat vs. Celtics

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

Heat vs. Celtics

The Heat and the Celtics lock horns at tha Pavilion in Las Vegas. Miami had teams play in the Summer League at Golden State, Orlando and Sacramento with mixed results. The entry in Orlando was especially bad, losing all five outings. Miami’s Summer League roster includes 11 rookies, including first-round pick Kel’el Ware and second-rounder Pelle Larsson. They’ll want to get a long look at two-way contract rookies Keshad Johnson and Zyon Pullin, too. Cole Swider and Alondes Williams, who were two-way players last season, also are back for a look. Dru Smith is out, still recovering from a major knee injury last season. The defending champs have draftees Baylor Scheierman and Anton Watson in attendance, as well as JD Davison, Neemias Queta and Jaden Springer. The Heat are young and raw, and the Celtics have some more established players. Look for Boston to get out to a fast start in the first game in Vegas for both teams.

Pick: Celtics -1.5 (-112)
