Houston Rockets team news & key performers
With Sheppard sidelined against Atlanta, Adonis Arms stepped up in a big way, pouring in 24 points to lead the team. Despite only suiting up twice so far, Arms has been efficient—averaging 18.0 points per game while shooting better than 47 percent from the floor. With limited NBA experience across the roster, Arms may need to carry the load again when Houston faces Portland.Portland Trailblazers team news & key performers
Rayan Rupert, the 2023 second-rounder, has taken full advantage of Summer League minutes, averaging an impressive 16.7 points while hitting 62.5 percent of his shots—and a scorching 70 percent from deep. He’s also contributing 5.0 boards and 2.7 assists per contest.
While rookie Yang Hansen is drawing plenty of buzz with his size and court vision, Rupert is making a strong case that he's outgrown the Summer League level already.
