BIG3 predictions, picks for Sunday, August 13
Before tuning into Sunday's BIG3 action, you need to see the BIG3 basketball picks from SportsLine expert Brad Rowland. Rowland has covered the basketball world full-time since 2012, beginning with coverage of the Atlanta Hawks for various outlets. He has bylines for several national outlets and has been credentialed to the NBA Finals, Final Four and FIBA World Cup. He is also the host of the Locked on Hawks podcast and has been on the SportsLine staff since 2019.
For Sunday's BIG3 action, Rowland is backing Triplets (5-2) to prevail over Power (4-3). Triplets has only lost one game since its season-opening setback against Bivouac, cruising to a 50-34 win over Ball Hogs last week. They raced out to a 26-13 halftime lead and coasted to the finish line, setting themselves up for success again on Sunday.
Joe Johnson, who won back-to-back league MVPs in 2020 and 2021, scored a game-high 20 points last week. The seven-time NBA All-Star added nine rebounds and four assists in another all-around performance. He ranks second in the BIG3 in points (134) and rebounds (60), giving Triplets too much experience for Power to handle on Sunday. Stream the BIG3 games on Sunday here.
