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

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

Phantom BC vs. Mist BC

We get the two bottom teams in the league, as they each come in with a 3-7 record, and they will be playing to get out of last place. They both struggle to score as they are the bottom two offensive teams with the Mist fifth in points per game (67.3) and the Phantom sixth (66.7). The season series is tied at one each and both games were relatively close, each being settled by five points or less. The Mist have one large advantage that could help them in this game: the rebounding as their 34.6 boards per game are second in the league. Two-time WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart was the star of the last matchup, leading the game with 13 rebounds and finishing by scoring the last six points for the Mist. The Phantom had Sabrina Ionescu in the previous matchup, but she had a poor performance going 5-for-16 and has shot under 41% in games of her last six while Stewart is one of two players averaging at least 15 points and 11 rebounds. The Mist should pull off the win.

Pick: Mist -1.5 (-115)
