Let’s take a look at the best odds, picks, and predictions for this week’s Big3 basketball action.
Big3 Basketball Best Bets
Here are our best bets for this week of Big3 basketball action.
Trilogy vs. Power
The Trilogy are currently 1-1 in the Big3. They just took a loss to the Triplets last weekend. This team doesn't have much depth beyond Isaiah Briscoe and Earl Clark. No other player scored in double-figures, and no other player hit a three on the team. Amir Johnson has been helpful on the glass, but their slow start against the Triplets stung. They'll take on Power, who also lost Week 2, 52-32 to Tri-State. Power couldn't get stops last weekend, but their offense will be okay. They've got five players who have hit at least six field goals this season, and each player is also in double figures. That's going to help them down the stretch.
Pick: Power +2.5 (-115)

Triplets vs. Tri-State
The Triplets earned their first win of the Big3 last weekend. This team is led by Jeremy Pargo and Joe Johnson, who have combined to score 73 points in two games. Those two are likely the best duo in the league. Meanwhile, Johnson and Larry Sanders have each added at least 20 rebounds in two games. They'll face Tri-State, who have ultimately the best player in the Big3. Jason Richardson has added 48 points and 19 rebounds in two games for Tri-State. I'm ready for the Joe Johnson-Jason Richardson matchup. I'm on the Over.
Pick: Over 94.5 (-115)

Enemies vs. Bivouac
Jordan Crawford isn't Jason Richardson in this league. But he's close. He's added 44 points on 18 made field goals. He's shot 62.1% from the field and has drained 5-of-8 from three. He's getting help from Elijah Stewart and Isaiah Austin too. The Enemies squeezed out a win over the Ball Hogs in Week 2 and have proven that they'll be a tough out this year. On the other hand, Bivouac took a 51-39 loss to the 3 Headed Monsters last weekend. They scored only 16 points in the first half and couldn't overcome that in the second half. They're led by Garlon Green, Gerald Green, and Corey Brewer. But they're not getting help from the other two guys. I still expect Bivouac's team to shoot better offensively in this game. This one should be tight throughout the game.
Pick: Over 94.5 (-120)
-Jason Radowitz
Aliens vs. Killer 3’s
There are only two teams that are 0-2. The Aliens are one of them. They've got a long bench but nothing to show for it. Janis Timma has added 35 points in two games, and Dusan Bulut has scored 21. But other than that, this offense hasn't earned many assists, and they're not playing well. The Killer 3's added their first win against 3's Company in Week 2. Donte Greene has earned 29 points, and Franklin Session has earned 27 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists in two games. Session is ultimately the best passer in the Big3, and that's something that the Aliens don't often do. Take the Killer 3's.
Pick: Killer 3’s -3.5 (-115)
-Jason Radowitz
Ghost Ballers vs. Ball Hogs
The Ghost Ballers are deep and good. The entire five-man roster has added at least ten rebounds. They've also got four players with 17 or more points in the league. Jonathan Simmons has been dominant from three, but he probably shoots too much, going 12-for-30 from the field. It’s likely that the Ball Hogs’ stars out-shoot the Ghost Ballers. Their stars are shooting at a much better rate. Jodie Meeks has scored 41 points on 53.1% from the field, and Leandro Barbosa has scored 31 points on 56.5% from the field. Both of those two have also shot 46.7% from three or better. I trust those two over Jonathan Simmons chucking shots up.
Pick: Ball Hogs +2.5 (-115)
-Jason Radowitz
3 Headed Monsters vs. 3’s Company
The 3 Headed Monsters looked good last weekend, earning a 51-39 win over Bivouac. The trio of Kevin Murphy, Rashard Lewis, and Reggie Evans has worked wonders. Evans won't take any threes, but he's one of the best rebounders in the league. Murphy and Lewis aren't shooting it well from downtown, but Lewis has been good inside the arc. They'll face 3's Company, which has a lot of notable names, like Michael Beasley, Mario Chalmers, Hollis Thompson, and Brandon Rush. This team has been incredibly inefficient. Beasley, Chalmers, and Thompson all shoot below 36% from the field. Until these guys start making shots, I will side against them.
Pick: 3 Headed Monsters -3.5 (-115)
