Big3 Picks & Predictions: Trilogy vs. Power (Sunday)
The Big3 makes its way to Los Angeles for Week 4 of the regular season. I have my eye on three matchups, including two games between above-.500 teams. Below, I explain why the DMV Trilogy can compete with the Dallas Power, why the Chicago Triplets are being undervalued against the Boston Ball Hogs and why at least one team will fail to reach 40 when the Miami 305 face the Houston Rig Hands. Here are the best Big3 picks for Sunday, July 12th’s game Trilogy vs. Power.

Sunday’s Best Big3 Picks & Predictions: Trilogy vs. Power
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
DMV Trilogy vs. Dallas Power
The Power sit atop the Big3 standings and are just one of two teams with a perfect 3-0 record. However, the Power's Week 3 performance raises serious questions. After building a 25-9 halftime lead, the Power were outscored 39-26 in the second half, ultimately winning by a final score of just 51-48.
In that contest, the Power allowed Nasir Core of the Amps to score 31 points. He had just 24 points in his first two games combined. With this defensive performance fresh in my mind, I'm curious how the Power will deal with the trio of Earl Clark, James Johnson and Jordan McRae. All three have scored 30+ points. The only other team with such a trio is the Triplets.
The Trilogy already faced the Triplets, the other 3-0 team, this season, and they lost by just two points. The key to victory for the Trilogy will be slowing down Elijah Stewart, the league's leader in made three-pointers. Yet, while Stewart has eight threes, the Trilogy has a solid three-point defense, allowing just nine through three weeks.
Pick: DMV Trilogy +2.5 (-110)
