The Las Vegas Summer League continues Friday with some matchups between teams already eliminated from the tournament. Don't take that the wrong way, however, as guys like Jabari Parker, Julius Randle and Gary Harris will be suiting up for action.

Players to watch: T.J. Warren has been one of the top scorers in Las Vegas, averaging 20 points per game for Phoenix through four contests. He scored 26 points in the team's elimination loss to Minnesota on Wednesday, setting the stage for Friday's matchup against the Mavericks. Dallas is led by 2013 second-round pick Ricky Ledo, who's averaged 15.5 points and 3.3 assists in Las Vegas, and Israeli guard Gal Mekel.
Players to watch: Jabari Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo give Milwaukee arguably the most talented 1-2 punch in Summer League, but the Bucks are 0-4 entering Friday's matchup against Golden State. Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks in scoring at 17 points per game, while Parker is averaging 14.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per contest. The Warriors don't have any names of that caliber, but the trio of Justin Holiday, Aaron Craft and Ognjen Kuzmic has kept them competitive.
Players to watch: The Raptors have one of the league's more potent scorers in Dwight Buycks, plus both of their 2014 draft picks in Bruno Caboclo and DeAndre Daniels. That's not exactly a star-studded bunch, but it's more than the Clippers bring to the table after a few years at the bottom of the first round. Keith Benson, Amath M'Baye, DeAndre Liggins and Lorenzo Brown lead Los Angeles, which went 1-3 before getting eliminated by Miami.
Players to watch: This may actually be one of the more exciting games of the day, as first-round picks Gary Harris and Julius Randle headline the action. Harris has been one of the most volatile players in Vegas, but his 33-point outburst last week was a nice reminder of his potential. Erick Green and Quincy Miller also join Harris on the Nuggets, giving them an intriguing trio on the perimeter. Randle hasn't been as impressive as Harris, but he's scored double digits in every game and joins Jordan Clarkson and Kendall Marshall for L.A.
