At the conclusion of Sunday's BIG3 games, we will have reached the midpoint of the 2022 BIG3 schedule. Thus far, there's been no more shocking result than the previously winless Ball Hogs upsetting the formerly undefeated Triplets last week. The Ball Hogs (1-2) will look to keep the momentum going against another top team in Tri-State (2-1), which is led by two-time NBA slam dunk champion Jason Richardson. The Ball Hogs were paced by Leandro Barbosa and Jodie Meeks in their Week 3 win over the Triplets, as the two NBA champions combined for 42 of the team's 50 points. You can stream Sunday's action on Paramount+.

Elsewhere on Sunday's BIG3 schedule, a pair of 2-1 teams will square off. First, Trilogy will take on the Aliens, and then the league's highest-scoring team, the 3 Headed Monsters, will face off against the Enemies. Tip off is at 3 p.m. ET in Dallas. You can watch Sunday's BIG3 basketball action on CBS and stream it live on Paramount+ with the must-have Premium plan.

BIG3 predictions, picks for Sunday, July 10

Before tuning into Sunday's BIG3 action, you need to see the BIG3 basketball picks from SportsLine expert Ameer Tyree. Tyree joined SportsLine after working as an NBA Fantasy sports and betting specialist at DraftKings and has a history of profitable basketball plays that help bettors find edges.

For Sunday's BIG3 action, Tyree is backing Tri-State to secure the victory over the Ball Hogs. Tri-State is coming off back-to-back wins in which it used suffocating defense to limit opponents to just 36.5 points in those games. The team is anchored in the paint by Larry Sanders, who once finished second in the NBA in blocks per game, and is leading the 2022 BIG3 season with 1.5 blocks per contest.

Tri-State's only defeat came in Week 1, when it didn't have leading scorer Jason Richardson. The former Slam Dunk champion ranks among the top five of the BIG3 in both points per game and steals per game. He's also just one of 10 players who has knocked down the coveted four-pointer in league play.

Richardson's ability to fill up the hoop should be too much offense for the Ball Hogs, who struggle getting points on the board. They are averaging just 42 points per game, the fewest in the league, and the defense isn't much better, as they are allowing the third-most points per game. The Ball Hogs have the worst point differential in the BIG3, and given Tri-State's solid play on both offense and defense, Tyree strongly favors Tri-State to pick up the win.
