Today’s 2025 Unrivaled 1v1 Tournament Picks: Napheesa Collier vs. Azura Stevens

Here are our top picks for today’s 2025 Unrivaled League 1v1 Tournament action between Napheesa Collier vs. Azura Stevens.

Napheesa Collier vs. Azura Stevens

Collier and Stevens know each other very well as they were important pieces on championship teams at UConn. The two former teammates had spent a lot of time on the court together, so they could be familiar with each other's game. This matchup could be a physical battle. Stevens at 6-6 has dominated her opponents and has been tough on the boards and efficient from mid-range and behind the arc. It's helped her be the best player in the league, leading in points per game (29.4) and rebounds (11.5). Collier is only 6-1, but she plays bigger, and she will match Steven's physicality and shooting from the perimeter. There is no value in picking Collier at -250. We're picking Stevens not just because of the better return but also because she got into a rhythm early on in her matchup against Shakira Austin. If she finds that same rhythm, she could pull off the upset.

Pick: Azura Stevens (+190)
