Triplets vs Tri-State Prediction & Pick

Tri-State is the favorite in this matchup and it's easy to see why. It's one of two remaining undefeated teams in the BIG3 and is showing no signs of slowing down. While there's no denying Tri-State's offensive upside, its defense was also in full-effect last week, holding Power to nine second-half points.

While Triplets are strong, they looked like a one-man team last week with Pargo being the only player to record more than seven points. They can't rely on the 37-year-old to carry the load every week. Tri-State is better at spreading the ball around, so look for the favorite to remain undefeated.

Final Score Prediction: Tri-State: 49 | Triplets: 46

Triplets vs Tri-State Best Bet

With both sides feeling good after their latest victories, I'm taking the Over on the 94.5-point total as the best bet. Triplets and Tri-State both know how to score the ball, averaging a combined 98.0 PPG thus far.

With decent former NBAers like Pargo, Richardson and Joe Johnson involved in this matchup, I won't be shocked if this game turns into a shootout.

Bet: Over 94.5 Total Points (-114)
