Portland Trail Blazers vs. Orlando Magic Summer League: Prediction

Both Portland and Orlando have fun rosters. Jett Howard, Scoot Henderson, and Anthony Black all recently entered the NBA via the draft and are playing hard to earn minutes. Nevertheless, there's every reason to believe that Scoot Henderson will be the best player on the court.

Portland can also rely on Shardon Sharpe to impress - as he has been all throughout the Summer League competition.
