Memphis vs Hawks Prediction 7 July 2026
🏀 The Memphis Grizzlies and Atlanta Hawks are set to clash in another NBA Summer League matchup. For Memphis, this game is a chance to bounce back after their recent loss to Utah, while the Hawks look to build on their victory over Oklahoma City. The Grizzlies enter as clear favorites, but much will hinge on the lineups chosen by the coaches - rosters in this tournament tend to fluctuate significantly from game to game.
Head-to-Head
📊With entirely new and largely unknown rosters assembled for the Summer League, drawing any parallels with the main franchise teams simply doesn't make sense.
Head-to-head statistics Memphis - Hawks
Memphis Grizzlies Team Overview
The Memphis Grizzlies have already played two games in the Summer League, delivering mixed results. They opened with a dominant win over Oklahoma, only to fall short in an entertaining contest against Utah, losing 100-109. The entire starting five impressed, each player finishing in double figures, with Coward leading the way with 23 points. However, the bench struggled, missing a slew of shots, and that lack of depth ultimately cost them the win.
On the other hand, the primary focus in this league is to develop young talent and potentially discover new prospects. In that regard, the Grizzlies are making solid progress. For instance, Boozer, the third overall pick in the 2026 draft, has already shown promise, posting 18 points and 7 rebounds against the Jazz.

Atlanta Hawks Team Overview
Atlanta head into this game riding the momentum of a win in their previous Summer League outing against Oklahoma City, edging out the Thunder 82-77. While the Hawks’ tournament opener versus Utah was a high-scoring affair with both sides breaking the century mark, their clash with OKC saw both teams struggle offensively, with plenty of missed shots on both ends. Among Atlanta’s roster, Ejiofor stood out, leading the team with 19 points in an otherwise lackluster offensive performance.
What makes this even more surprising is that, unlike most other coaches, Lampkin opted for nearly the same starting five against Oklahoma City - Johnson replaced Gilbert as the only change. It seems the Hawks’ young core continue to battle the age-old issues of inconsistency and mental lapses. Fans will be hoping their team can show improvement in these areas as the Summer League progresses.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Both teams head into this matchup without any real defensive discipline: like the rest of the Summer League sides, they’ve already shown over two games that defense isn’t a top priority, focusing instead on developing their offensive skills. Standout individual stats are the main motivation here, as that’s the quickest way to catch the coach’s and media’s eye - a crucial factor in the US. We expect to see the tournament’s trademark up-tempo style, with relentless end-to-end action and a huge volume of shots, especially from beyond the arc. Our pick is over 179.5 total points.
