Today’s 2025 Unrivaled League Best Bets: Phantom BC vs. Laces BC

Here are our top picks for today’s 2025 Unrivaled League action.

Phantom BC vs. Laces BC

Both teams have been in a freefall lately, with the Laces losing their last four and the Phantom losing their last three. The Laces were in a good position to stop the bleeding last week but struggled to make shots (42.9%), hit just four of 19 three-point attempts, and lost to Rose 58-53. Phantom had the unfortunate luck of facing the Lunar Owls and lost despite hitting 11 of 26 three-pointers. Much like the rest of the season, their defense let them down; they lost 92-79. The last time Laces won was vs. Phantom on Feb. 18 (75-68). I don't have much faith in either team, but I think Laces have more potential than Phantom and should be able to take advantage of the league's worst defense. It will be a low-scoring game, but with the TOTAL being as low as it is, I'm more comfortable laying the points and betting on Laces.

Pick: Laces -3.5 (-120)
