Summary
Cavaliers rookie Meleek Thomas is heating up Summer League with 85 points in three games, so much so the team might bench him for the finale to protect his health—while also eyeing a trade for Dennis Schroder. Thomas leads the league in scoring at 28.3 ppg, bringing elite scoring and playmaking that mirrors Schroder’s game but with more upside. Veteran Malakai Branham stepped up in the win, while Ernest Udeh Jr. dominated defensively with 3 blocks and 8 rebounds. Jaxson Robinson added 13 points from deep. The Bulls’ matchup hinges on whether top scorer Caleb Wilson plays—his absence could hurt Chicago’s offense. Cavs’ strategy? Hit free throws (Bulls foul a lot) and exploit turnovers for a potential win. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
