Memphis should be the favorite to claim Summer League glory on Sunday night.

The Grizzlies thrived behind Cedric Coward and 2026 lottery pick Cameron Boozer.

Coward was the star in Saturday's semifinal victory with 28 points, six rebounds and five assists.

Boozer added 12 points, 12 rebounds and five assists for the 4-1 Grizzlies.

Three other Grizzlies players scored in double figures against Houston, including Javon Small, who had 17 points, seven rebounds and six assists.

Coward, Boozer and Small have formed a Summer League Big Three for the Grizzlies. They've all chipped across the major stat categories to propel Memphis to this point.

The all-around nature of Memphis' top players, as well as its scoring depth, will make it difficult for Golden State to contain.

The Warriors do have a presence in the paint with first-round pick Yaxel Lendeborg who could potentially give Boozer a strong challenge.

Lendeborg is coming off a 15-point showing in the semifinal win over the Lakers.

Graham Ike, who had 16 points and 11 rebounds on Saturday, could also challenge Memphis' paint players with how he attacks the rim.

Golden State needs one, or more, of its backcourt scorers to step up to match whatever the Grizzlies' stars can do.

Will Richard and LJ Cryer are the candidates to fill that role. Cryer scored 12 of his 16 points in the semifinal from beyond the arc.

Memphis and Golden State will both be playing for their second-ever Las Vegas Summer League title. The Warriors won in 2013, while the Grizzlies took first in 2019.
