Randy’s Pick
As Ive said before, the San Antonio Spurs just aren't as attractive without Victor Wembanyama, and their performance against the Pistons wasn't encouraging. The Oklahoma City Thunder are one of the more talented teams in the summer league, and they've bounced back nicely from losses so far. I just like OKC's roster far more, especially with the Spurs shutting down their star. I'll lay the bucket.
