Notable players to watch
- Montrezl Harrell, Chicago
Harrell finished with 28 points in Chicago’s win against Miami, pushing them atop the leader board in the standings. It was Harrell’s season high, and over the last two games he’s averaging 25 points and 10 rebounds. When Harrell drops at least 20 points, Chicago has been a perfect 3-0 this season.
Simmons dropped 22 points in Boston’s win against Detroit. His 19.3 points per game this season ranks fourth in the BIG3 this season. He’ll be facing LA again this week, and last time he played them he put up a career-high 27 points in a Week 5 win.
Clark put up a double-double last week to help the DMV to just their second win this season, posting 23 points and 13 rebounds. He ranks first in the league in rebounds (63) and made 3-pointers (13). He’s been the reason the DMV have won two of their last three games, and could tack on another one if his strong performance continues.
Not only did Rice have a game-high 20 points in a win last week, but he also put up a season-high eight assists to go along with it. He’s the only player in the BIG3 this season to average 19+ points, 7+ rebounds and 3+ assists. He also ranks first in assists, third in points and sixth in rebounds.
