It’s a 6-pack of action in the NBA Summer League on Monday, with most eyes set on a dynamite matchup between No. 2 pick Darryn Peterson and No. 3 pick Cameron Boozer, as the Jazz take on the Grizzlies.

Other top 10 players that should be in action include Sacramento‘s Darius Acuff Jr, the debut of Brooklyn‘s Mikel Brown Jr (no. 6), and Atlanta‘s Kingston Flemings, the no. 9 pick.

Today’s Summer League Picks
Grizzlies moneyline (-133 at Kalshi)
Utah Jazz rookie Darryn Peterson starred in his debut in an overtime win over Atlanta, pouring in 21 points on a cool 11-for-21 shooting.
Cameron Boozer looked great in his debut too, piling up 15 points on 7-for-11 shooting, four boards and four assists in a blowout win over OKC.

Different positions, but this is the first of many head-to-head matchups we will see at the pro level, and I think both want to shine.
Peterson wins the duel, but this Memphis Grizzlies roster is a little supercharged, with legit star Cedric Coward on the roster, and former 2023 Round 1 picks Olivier Maxence-Prosper and Taylor Hendricks battling for roster spots.
Kings moneyline (+150 at Kalshi)
Darius Acuff quite literally fit his pre-draft profile to a T in his debut: he led the Sacramento Kings in scoring with 25 points and wasn’t bashful about hoisting them up, going 9-for-29 from the field while also adding three assists.

As I predicted, the hungry Milwaukee Bucks hammered the split Warriors squad, but then followed that up by getting beaten by 20 points by the Nets.
Acuff sat out the Kings’ 91-85 win over Warriors Blue, and they may have unearthed a rotational big in Victor Lakhin.
The 6-foot-11 Russian, who went undrafted last year, led the Kings with 12 points, six rebounds and an assist.
The Bucks have yet to showcase their lottery picks, Braydon Burries and Nate Ament, in Summer League play, but the Kings should roll here.
Hawks moneyline (+100 at Kalshi)
The Oklahoma City Thunder Summer League roster consists of their three 2026 draft picks: Aday Mara, Bennett Stirtz, and Otega Oweh; 2025 2nd-Rounder Brooks Barnhizer; and 14 undrafted players, ranging from as far back as 2022 (Buddy Boeheim!) to eight from this last draft.

It’s an experimental roster – as the Thunder are contender-ready, with even their top draft picks likely riding pine behind a slew of talent.
It’s a different story for the Atlanta Hawks, who need their picks to fill legit roster spaces on a team that should be in the NBA Eastern Conference mix.
The three expected to make the most impact looked great in their debut.
No. 9 pick Kingston Flemings had 14 points, nine assists and four steals, while 13th pick Zuby Ejiofor had eight points and 11 boards (seven on the offensive end). Second-year man Asa Newell tied for the scoring lead with 15.
They should again be prominent over a Thunder side that’s really just trying to catch some kind of lightning in a bottle.
