NBA Summer League Best Bets and Parlay for Tuesday, July 11, 2023

NBA Summer League rolls on and we are here to determine the best bets you can make on Tuesday night! Teams don't cut down nets for a summer league championship, but it can often be the start of something special and a sign of things to come. Some franchises take the summer more seriously, and it's important to identify that before betting. These are our top three favorite bets for tonight in the NBA Summer League.

Bucks vs. Nets, 6:00PM ET

BET #1: Bucks -2.5 (-110) with DraftKings

The 2-0 Milwaukee Bucks find themselves undefeated this Summer largely off the backs of their 2nd-year rising star Marjon Beauchamp. 2nd year players are the most valuable pieces to a good Summer League team, and Milwaukee letting Beauchamp play this cycle alongside rookies Chris Livingston and Andre Jackson has led to inspiring results. The Nets' squad has one good game under their belts and one poor showing, but they don't have the high end talent that the Bucks squad does. Take Milwaukee.

Rockets vs. Thunder, 6:30PM ET

BET #2: Thunder -6 (-110) with DraftKings

This is where lineups come into play! The Rockets and Thunder were two of our favorite Summer League Futures, and for good reason as the two squads are a combined 3-0 in the Vegas Summer League. Tonight, this bodes will for Oklahoma City, as Houston appears to have liked so much of what they saw from their best two players, they are shutting them down. Tari Eason and Jabari Smith have dominated this circuit, but both are expected to be done for the summer. Add the injury of rookie stud Amen Thompson, and there's just not much there to think that Houston can keep up with Chet Holmgren, Tre Mann, and the rest of this Thunder roster.

Trail Blazers vs. Hornets, 8:30PM ET

BET #3: Blazers -5.5 (-110) with DraftKings

We're making it a night full of favorites tonight, as we continue to fade the lowly Charlotte Hornets with pleasure. The Hornets still have not won a game this summer, despite playing an event prior to the Vegas Summer League as well. Brandon Miller has looked incredibly shaky, willing to shoot and miss so much each game it is throwing off the rhythm of the whole team. The Blazers may be without Scoot Henderson, but they look like a much more competent squad here, as Charlotte's stable of unstable guards continues to shoot them out of games. We like Portland big tonight.

Remember to gamble responsibly and set limits on your betting activities. It's important to approach sports betting as a form of entertainment, rather than relying on it for financial gain. Set a budget for yourself and stick to it, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
