Nba summer league lineup today rotowire

This article is part of our With school out for summer in most areas of the country, we have seen MLB teams also transition to a summer schedule of their own. Specifically, start times have been pushed back to 7:05 pm ET, so we get a 14-game main slate to work with Tuesday. As will be covered in more detail, there's some curious pitcher pricing on DraftKings, which should open up some salary for hitters without sacrificing results. There aren't many standout hitting environments, though the Rangers-Angels matchup should have plenty of runs. Pitchers Corbin Burnes ($9,900) seems to have figured things out after panicking fantasy managers early in the season. He's posted 25.6 and 38.8 DK-point performances in two of his last three outings, with a 17.9-point performance on the other occasion. The Twins aren't necessarily a matchup to target when healthy, but they'll likely be without Max Scherzer ($9,800) who will take on a beat-up Yankees lineup. Another pair of intriguing pitchers check in at the $8,000 price point. Jack Flaherty ($8,000) is a tournament-only option given his volatility, but he'll be in his pitcher-friendly home park against a Giants' lineup that strikes out at a 25.5 percent clip –third highest in the league. Next is Joe Musgrove ($7,800). He's put up a minimum of 19.9 DK points across his last three starts and topped 22 points in each of the other two outings. At some point, his price will catch up, but in a matchup against the punchless Guardians he's an...

This article is part of our In addition to rookies getting their first taste of NBA action, Summer League is an opportunity for other young players to further new skills and get preseason reps. Focusing on second-year players who are dominating Summer League competition, the players below have displayed impressive growth and project to serve as meaningful rotation players with real fantasy upside. With each of these players logging impactful minutes for their respective franchises down the stretch last season, here are five potential leaps to monitor: Trey Murphy , Pelicans Summer League stats: 26.5 points, 50.0 FG% (8.5-17.0 FG), 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.5 steals, 0.5 blocks, 3.0 TO New Orleans possesses a deep and talented roster, but Murphy's performance is going to force the Pelicans' to hand him playing time in his second season. The 6-foot-8, 22-year-old wing looks like a man among boys in Summer League. Playing as a jumbo guard, Murphy is winning rebounds, using his disruptive length to rack up steals and getting wherever he wants offensively. His three-point shooting has been cold in Las Vegas (26.7 percent on 7.5 attempts per game), but Murphy is already a proven shooter. He connected on 40.1 percent of his triples across three collegiate seasons at Virginia, and he led all rookies with a 38.2 percent clip from deep last season. With the booming performances he's showcased in Summer League, Murphy is a rising star candidate. The question is how much run he'll ...

Top Draft prospect Victor Wembanyama is projected to go No. 1 overall to San Antonio. DENVER (AP) — Victor Wembanyama’s next couple of weeks are now set: He’ll be playing in the French league finals starting this weekend, and then the San Antonio Spurs will almost certainly make him the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft on June 22. And if that means the French star’s summer league debut comes in Sacramento instead of Las Vegas in early July, the league is fine with that. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the league doesn’t have a preference regarding the site of Wembanyama’s first game with the Spurs. While the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas is the biggest — all 30 teams attend — and commands the most attention, there are smaller summer leagues that precede the Vegas event by a few days. Sacramento plays host to one of those events, and the Spurs are one of six teams headed there this year. “All summer leagues are NBA Summer Leagues,” Silver told The Associated Press. “I’m very supportive of the Sacramento summer league. I remember when (Kings owner Vivek Ranadive) first came to the league and said this was something he wanted to do. I said, ‘As long as you have enough other teams who support it and players who want to play in it, it’s a good thing.’” The Kings might be getting a lot more buzz than usual this summer. Not only are the Spurs headed there, but so is Charlotte — which holds the No. 2 pick. And it just so happens that the Spurs and Hornets will open Sacramento summer...

Jimenez will miss a fourth consecutive contest Tuesday as he continues to nurse a sore left calf. The team initially expected him to miss 4-5 days after suffering the injury Thursday, so he should be expected back in the lineup in the near future barring any sort of setback. Gavin Sheets will draw another start in right field and bat eighth in the series opener with Los Angeles.

Scoot Henderson , G League Ignite: Charlotte Hornets 19 years old -- 6'2" G -- 200lbs A fluid midrange scoring, smooth finishing, linebacker-esque point guard, Henderson's style is a good fit alongside LaMelo Ball 's three-point bombing, flashy facilitating and drive-and-kick game. Ball shot 37.6 percent from three overall but hit 39.8 percent of his catch-and-shoot attempts. This backcourt is likely a defensive liability, but the overall talen...
