The Rockets possess a 2-1 record at the 2024 NBA Summer League, as they are fighting for a spot in the four-team playoff this weekend.

Houston started the event with back-to-back wins, which included incredible performances from rookie guard Reed Sheppard. He combined to score 45 points in Houston’s first two games, which led to victories against the Los Angeles Lakers and Washington Wizards. He also had a decent 15 point outing against the Detroit Pistons last game, but he shot worse than 36% from the field. With this in mind, he will try to shoot more efficiently against the Timberwolves this evening.

Alongside Sheppard, the Rockets have plenty of young talent on their 2024 NBA Summer League roster. Notably, AJ Griffin showcased his offensive prowess during the team’s recent loss, as he scored a team-high 18 points. If Griffin continues to play at a high level, then Houston will be a tough team to beat this summer.

Minnesota is also looking for a spot in the playoffs this weekend, as they boast a 2-1 record heading into this matchup. The Timberwolves are coming off a 92-90 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, where they had great performances from three players offensively.

The Timberwolves had two players score 22 points in their recent loss, including Leonard Miller and Daishen Nix. Neither player shot well from beyond the arc, but they were effective from two-point range.

Minnesota also received an 18 point performance from their forward Josh Minott, who shot 6-14 from the field. He was a second round pick in 2022, but he has showcased some NBA potential this summer.
