    Hunter Dickinson accounted for 21 points (9-of-18 FGs), three rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Hornets.

    Back with the Pelicans on a two-way contract, Dickinson had a good afternoon offensively on Saturday. He scored on all three levels, shooting 50 percent from beyond the arc and 50 percent from the field overall. Of course, the Pelicans will want to see a bit more from him defensively and on the glass, but Saturday’s offensive effort was a step in the right direction. Given New Orleans’ frontcourt options, cracking the rotation next season will be a challenge for Dickinson.
HLs: Peterson takes charge of UTA offense vs. LAC
Darryn Peterson appeared to settle into a leading role in the Utah Jazz's NBA Summer League loss to the Clippers, scoring a team-high and game-high tying 23 points with some head-turning dunks and smooth spacing.

    Orlando Robinson finished Monday’s win over the Bulls with 14 points (3-of-9 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), nine rebounds, one assist and two blocked shots.

    With no Darryn Peterson, the Jazz had to look elsewhere for offensive production on Monday. Robinson, who is with the team as an unrestricted free agent, was one of the players who stepped up. The veteran center finished one rebound shy of a double-double and blocked two shots. Utah’s three two-way contract slots are currently occupied, but players like Robinson are effectively auditioning for the entire NBA in Las Vegas. He’ll look to leave with either a two-way deal or an Exhibit 10 that includes an invite to training camp.

    Caleb Wilson finished Monday’s loss to the Jazz with 19 points (8-of-17 FGs, 0-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals, five blocks and three three-pointers.

    After going off for 35 points in his summer league debut, Wilson was bound to slow down some. That’s precisely what happened, as the Bulls forward started slowly. However, he would do more than score against the Jazz, with the final stat line including two steals and five blocked shots. In fantasy basketball, defensive production can compensate for offensive struggles, so that was good to see from Wilson. The negative from his performance on Monday was the 0-of-6 night at the foul line. Wilson is now 2-of-12 from the charity stripe in Las Vegas, but this should not be a long-term concern for fantasy managers.

    Tre Donaldson tallied 22 points (10-of-18 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Monday’s loss to the Heat.

    Back in the Heat starting lineup after sitting out Miami’s second game in Las Vegas, Donaldson put forth his best performance of the summer on Monday. He shot 9-of-13 from inside the arc, leading the Heat in scoring with 22 points. Donaldson is on a two-way contract, and with the Heat making strides in filling out their rosters, opportunities at the NBA level next season may be scarce. However, the Heat have done well with their G League affiliate in the past, and Donaldson has shown promise this summer after going undrafted.

    Ernest Udeh Jr. finished Monday’s win over the Heat with eight points (4-of-6 FGs), seven rebounds, three assists and four blocked shots.

    Signed to a two-way contract after going undrafted, Udeh provided solid rebounding and rim protection in Monday’s victory. Given the Cavaliers’ frontcourt depth, carving out a consistent role for himself as a rookie may prove challenging. However, even if Udeh spends most of his rookie season in the G League, he is worth keeping an eye on in deeper dynasty leagues.

    Meleek Thomas dropped 35 points (14-of-23 FGs, 5-of-9 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and five three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Heat.

    One day removed from going for 30 points against the Pistons, Thomas was even better on Monday. The 34th overall pick scored 21 points in the first half, shooting 5-of-6 from beyond the arc, and finished with 35. While the summer league competition is not on par with what Thomas will see in the fall/winter, he’s clearly playing with a chip on his shoulder after falling out of the first round of the draft. Regardless of what happens with Cleveland’s pursuit of LeBron James, Thomas scores too well to be out of Kenny Atkinson’s rotation.

    Olivier-Maxence Prosper accounted for 18 points (7-of-14 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Mavericks.

    With the Grizzlies exercising their option on his contract for the 2026-27 season, Prosper’s NBA future in the short term is far more secure than it was when he joined the franchise on a two-way deal last September. As a result, there may be opportunities for him to earn rotation minutes next season, especially with the Grizzlies moving Santi Aldama. Prosper shot 40.5 percent from three on 2.8 attempts per game last season, and he has been a more willing perimeter shooter this summer. If he can carry the progress into the 2026-27 campaign, there may be moments when O-Max is a worthwhile streamer in deep leagues.

    Cedric Coward accumulated 17 points (7-of-23 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Mavericks.

    That makes two double-doubles in as many games for Coward, who also dished out four assists. The combination of injuries that limited him to 62 games as a rookie and the Grizzlies beginning a new era without Ja Morant could explain why Coward is still playing in Summer League. Still, it would be unsurprising if he were shut down at some point. Due to the changes made by the Grizzlies’ brain trust over the past season and this summer, Coward will have a higher fantasy ceiling in 2026-27.

    Cameron Boozer finished Monday’s loss to the Mavericks with 21 points (7-of-17 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists, three steals and two three-pointers.

    Boozer did not shoot the ball as accurately as he did in Friday’s win over the Bulls, but he had another productive day at the office. The rookie forward’s stat line was missing only a blocked shot, with a 2-of-8 effort from deep accounting for the low field-goal percentage. Boozer played well in Salt Lake City and he’s carried that over to Las Vegas. Given the amount of basketball that he’s played, the third overall pick in last month’s draft may be a prime shutdown candidate for the rest of this week.

    Jaden Springer amassed 17 points (5-of-10 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), one rebound, two assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Grizzlies.

    The 28th overall pick in the 2021 draft, Springer is still looking to lock down a consistent role in the NBA. The former first-round pick came off the bench on Monday and provided solid production, shooting 50 percent from the field and 2-of-2 from beyond the arc. Dallas’ reserves made the difference on Monday, with Springer and undrafted rookies Darin Green Jr. (18/3/5/2 with five three-pointers) and Kodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu (16 points, four rebounds and two blocks) combining to score 51 points.

    Sergio de Larrea accounted for 16 points (3-of-7 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), one rebound, 12 assists, one block and two three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Grizzlies.

    De Larrea had an excellent floor game on Monday after struggling in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers. The rookie guard was responsible for 12 of Dallas’ 25 assists on the night, with the other four Mavericks starters combining for six. With Kyrie Irving expected to be fully healthy when next season begins and Cooper Flagg also in line to have the ball in his hands plenty, de Larrea’s fantasy ceiling may be limited as a rookie. But the basketball IQ makes him someone worth stashing in dynasty leagues.
