The second half of the BIG3 schedule begins on Sunday, with six enticing matchups taking place in Miami. It has been an exciting start to the season, as four teams are tied with 3-1 records atop the BIG3 standings. Ghost Ballers (3-1) are coming off one of their best performances of the season, cruising past Tri-State (2-2) in a 50-33 final. They will face Power in a matchup between 3-1 teams on Sunday. You can stream Sunday's action live on Paramount+.
The six-game slate will begin at 3 p.m. ET from the Kaseya Center.

BIG3 predictions, picks for Sunday, July 23
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 the Triplets to prevail and keep the Aliens winless. The Triplets are the hottest team in the league, winning three straight games since their narrow loss to Bivouac in Week 1. They got past 3's Company in a 50-47 final last week, led by 20 points and 11 rebounds from Joe Johnson.
Johnson, a two-time BIG3 MVP, led the league in scoring in back-to-back seasons before taking a hiatus in the middle of the 2022 season. He has returned with a vengeance this year, ranking among the scoring leaders through the first half of the campaign. The seven-time NBA All-Star is facing a winless Aliens team that does not have the firepower to keep pace with Triplets on Sunday.
"For my money, Johnson is probably the most valuable player in the league right now, and Jeremy Pargo is also playing at a high level next to him," Rowland told SportsLine. "Aliens scored only nine points in the first half a week ago, and they are dead-last in scoring and points allowed." Stream the BIG3 games on Sunday here.
