NBA Summer League
First established in 2004, the NBA 2K25 Summer League is back for its eighteenth annual summer showdown. Keeping the basketball action alive after the regular NBA season, the NBA Summer League returns to Las Vegas for some fun in the sun from July 12 to July 22.
The NBA Summer League will feature all 30 NBA teams from both the Eastern and Western Conferences as rookie players showcase their basketball skills on the court in the pre-season.
The main aim of the NBA Summer League is as a platform for rookies and undrafted prospects to show off what they can do to talent scouts and team coaches. Who knows, they may potentially score themselves roster spots for next year!
Keep your eyes on this page for all the next matches, the favorite teams to win, and our live NBA 2K25 Summer League betting odds.
A grand total of 76 games are played across the NBA Summer League in a round-robin format. Unlike regular season NBA games, which last 48 minutes, NBA Summer League matches will last 40 minutes (the same as FIBA). Multiple overtime periods will also last around 2 minutes. After each team plays four games, the top four teams advance to the Playoffs.
The annual summer showcase for the NBA is held in Las Vegas, USA, from July 12 - 22, 2024. The semifinal games will be played on July 21, followed by the championship-deciding games on July 22. The remaining 26 squads will play their final consolation game on July 21 or 22.
We will update this section with specific fixtures and dates for the tournament as soon as they become available, so bookmark this page to stay informed!
While the quality and experience of the NBA Summer League may not be in the same realm as the NBA, it's still a chance for new players to show themselves off to prospective coaches and talent scouts. It provides ample exciting opportunities for betting, whether you're an experienced pro or a noob to the gambling world.
Here's a quick rundown of all 30 squads competing in the NBA 2K25 Summer League. As regular competitors in the NBA regular season, they should all be household names.

Betting on the NBA Summer League can be a challenging venture due to the "unknown," where the focus is on new player development rather than winning at any cost.
However, there are some tips to boost your profit margins when betting on the Las Vegas Summer League, courtesy of Rivalry. You're welcome!
When analyzing a basketball team or its players, consider their current form. Are they on a heavy loss streak? Any recent player injuries? These factors can impact a team's overall performance, especially as individual players can be the team's MVP or the reason they're losing.
Look at teams' rosters to see which players will participate in the Summer Leagues. Squads with more seasoned second-year players will tend to perform better than ones full of newbies. It may also be an idea to wait as the NBA Summer League begins to settle before placing your bets.
Stay updated with the latest pre-game news, reports, and statistics. Follow official NBA channels, team reporters, and sports new websites to be informed with starting lineups and current player status.
While size doesn't usually matter, we recommend keeping your bets smaller than you might during the regular NBA season. This is mainly due to the sheer unpredictability of the NBA Summer League, where anything can happen.
Following on from this, as the tournament progresses week-by-week, the performance of each team may begin to change. Keep an eye on the underdogs. Especially as the Playoffs begin, player motivation and effort levels can dramatically change, and underdogs may pull a surprising hat-trick win out of the bag.
