Elsewhere, Memphis acquired the 2026 draft rights to No. 21 pick Karim Lopez via trade. He became the first Mexican-born player selected in the first round of an NBA Draft. Lopez will look to show off his impressive physicality, seeking the rim during the NBA Summer League.
Chicago selected F Noa Essengue with the 12th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Essengue logged only 6 minutes over two NBA games last season, suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in December. The 19-year-old forward is now listed at 6’11”, meaning he grew 3 inches since the 2025 NBA Summer League.
The backcourt is where Memphis will likely carry a major advantage. The Bulls may feature 2026 No. 15 pick Dailyn Swain at small forward, but the point guard and shooting guard positions are up in the air.
Boo Buie and Antonio Reeves are options to fill PG and SG in the starting lineup, but that would likely pale in comparison to Memphis’ PG Walter Clayton Jr. and SG Cedric Coward in the starting lineup.
Clayton posted 9.7 points per game (PPG) and 25.0 minutes per game over 24 NBA appearances last season. Coward enjoyed a key role all season, finishing with 25.8 minutes per game and 13.6 PPG while starting in 47 of 62 outings.
Bulls vs. Grizzlies Spread, Over/Under – Friday, July 10
Both teams feature two 2026 first-round rookies, but the Grizzlies are expected to feature the stronger rotation tonight thanks to experience.
F Olivier-Maxence Prosper enters his third year, making 53 NBA appearances last season. Prosper joins Grizzlies second-year guards Walter Clayton Jr. and Cedric Coward in the potential experienced starting lineup.
With that said, Memphis is the clear 6.5-point favorite, paired with a 1.38x payout if it wins.
Here are the full payouts for the Bulls vs. Grizzlies NBA Summer League game on PrizePicks.

Bulls vs. Grizzlies Picks, Player Stats for PrizePicks: 7/10/26
Here are some top Bulls vs. Grizzlies picks to target on Friday, July 10. Tonight’s NBA Summer League picks for PrizePicks include Caleb Wilson, Cameron Boozer, and more.
Bulls F Caleb Wilson vs. Grizzlies: 16.5 Points
- Over 24 games at North Carolina, Caleb Wilson tallied 19.8 PPG while shooting 57.8% from the field.
- In his only head-to-head matchup with Cameron Boozer in the North Carolina-Duke rivalry, Wilson posted 23 points, converting 8 of 12 field goal attempts (66.7%).
- Wilson’s 3-point touch is perhaps his biggest flaw entering the NBA, shooting only 25.9% from deep during his time at UNC.
- Any success from the rookie will likely come from around the rim or the mid-range tonight.
- That didn’t stop Wilson from finding success against Boozer in college. Boozer’s speed on defense is one of the No. 3 pick’s potential weaknesses. Wilson is as athletic as it gets, providing a potential one-on-one advantage.

Grizzlies F Cameron Boozer vs. Bulls: 27.5 Pts + Rebs + Asts
- We got an early look at Cameron Boozer during the Salt Lake City Summer League, and he averaged 16.5 PPG, 5.5 RPG, and 4.0 APG over two appearances.
- That’s good for 26.0 combined points, rebounds, and assists per game, putting Boozer in range of tonight’s Pts+Rebs+Asts projection.
- Boozer recorded 22.5 PPG, 10.2 RPG, and 4.1 APG at Duke.
- In a matchup with Caleb Wilson on February 7, he posted 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 assists. Boozer dominated the glass, compared to Wilson’s 4 boards in the clash.
- Furthermore, the 253-pound Boozer may have a strength advantage against Chicago’s potential starting frontcourt of Wilson (211 pounds) and Noa Essengue (206 pounds).
- According to The 5th Factor, Boozer logged a 138.6 offensive rating (79th percentile), a 20.8% defensive rebounding rate (80th percentile), and a 73.5% assist rate (76th percentile) over two games at the Salt Lake City Summer League, showcasing his balanced game.

Grizzlies G Cedric Coward vs. Bulls: 18.5 Points
- We probably won’t see much of Cedric Coward in the Summer League. He proved his worth during a strong rookie season with 13.6 PPG while shooting 47.1% from the field.
- Coward could be the best player on the court tonight, meaning a big scoring night may be ahead. His potential one-on-one matchups draw even more attention.
- The Bulls could lean on Antonio Reeves at the shooting guard position, and he logged a concerning 117.5 defensive rating over 44 appearances for the Pelicans in the 2024-25 season, per NBA.com.
- Chicago rookie F Dailyn Swain would likely be the better defensive assignment for Coward, but this is where his experience comes in. Tonight is Swain’s NBA Summer League debut, while Coward produced during a full NBA regular season.
- Over Coward’s 10 final appearances last season, he upped his production to 15.4 PPG while shooting 49.6% from the field. Further, he reached at least 24 points in two of his final six regular-season outings.
