Memphis vs Warriors Prediction 20 July 2026

Memphis are putting on an unusually cohesive and entertaining brand of basketball on the Las Vegas hardwood. The franchise have been visibly improving as the tournament progresses. Their most impressive performance came in the semifinal showdown against Houston, where they dominated the boards (47-35 in rebounds) to clear their path to the final. One of Tennessee’s biggest strengths is their remarkable physicality and roster depth, with several players boasting NBA experience. Coward was the standout in that clash with the Rockets, pouring in 28 points, while Small orchestrated the tempo superbly, finishing with 17 points and 6 assists. And let's not forget about the promising talent of Boozer - the third overall pick in the recent draft who has consistently posted double-digit scoring figures in every Summer League outing.

Golden State head into the Summer League final boasting a strong record of four wins and just one defeat. In the playoff semifinals, the Warriors overcame a resilient Lakers side, edging them 92-88. When it mattered most, the franchise delivered a textbook display of team basketball, with four different players finishing in double figures. The standout performer for the club in Las Vegas has been Lendeborg, who’s been lights out from beyond the arc connecting on over 60% of his three-point attempts throughout the tournament and leads the team in plus-minus. Against Los Angeles, Ike stole the spotlight, registering an impressive double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. He’ll be Golden State’s main answer to Memphis’ imposing size in the paint.
