Las Vegas Summer League is back in the mix and the NBA fever is catching up even if the likes of LeBron, Curry, and other superstars will be up for a big show later in the year. In this game, Charlotte Hornets encounter San Antonio Spurs to find out which team has more sway. More about CHA vs SAS Dream 11 will be given below.
The Summer League is unpredictable machinery. There are aces who get rested after going off for big nights in previous games. Rookies who are picked as one of the integral members of them can train and get a mild taste of what the real deal in the NBA looks like. Hornets will host some up-and-coming players and the biggest eye-catcher is one of the ball brothers in LiAngelo Ball, who has played some phenomenal ball so far. The Spurs are going through a rebuild of sorts but have some highly talented young players like Lonnie Walker IV, Keldon Johnson, DeJounte Murray to name some, however, there are some open spots at stake and some of these players can have a chance at it.
Match Timing: 13 August, @ 12:30 AM Venue: Cox Pavilion, Las Vegas
The contest will take place at Cox Pavilion, Las Vegas, which is one of the designated spots in the MGM Resorts Las Vegas NBA Summer League.

1. LiAngelo Ball (last match stats) Points: 10 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 00 After having two of the Ball members in the NBA, LiAngelo wants to form a duo with his brother LaMelo. Ball passes the so-called eye test, gets to the right positions, sprints hard on the court, and probably has a better shooting form than his brothers. LiAngelo has shown hustle on the defensive end and he has been making a strong case for an NBA spot through his play. Ball is one of the candidates as the Super Player in the Dream11 Fantasy basketball scenario.
2. Tre Jones Points: 23 Rebounds: 04 Assists: 03 Tre brings a scoring mentality to the floor and has had some strong offensive outings to prove that. He has a long-range stroke but he thrives in driving situations mostly.
3. Nick Richards Points: 10 Rebounds: 06 Assists: 00 Richards is a sophomore who didn’t get a lot of minutes last year. However, he has a solid built and can score inside while grabbing boards but his game is still unpolished and he will need to do a lot of work for regular minutes.
4. Malik Newman Points: 19 Rebounds: 06 Assists: 04 Malik possesses a lot of talent. He is athletic, he has great handles, and he has a shooting touch as well. Newman has an all-around basketball game but that is why the NBA is tough, even after having such a skill set, he is playing overseas and has only played one NBA game all his career.
5. Arnoldas Kubolka Points: 13 Rebounds: 03 Assists: 01 Arnoldas is a Forward who has a touch from beyond the arc. He can knock down contested shots and can help stretch the floor.
6. Jaylen Morris Points: 20 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 01 Morris has had a frustrating basketball. Despite having a lot of talent and scoring skills, injuries have hampered his journey. Apart from that, he has been waived thrice by the NBA teams, Morris has not found a stable home.
07. D.J. Carton Points: 13 Rebounds: 03 Assists: 03
08. Nate Renfro Points: 03 Rebounds: 08 Assists: 02
