A Vinyl-Lunar Owls and Rose-Laces doubleheader will close out the second week of Unrivaled, with both Owls and Laces aiming to advance to 4-0.
The first game tips at 7:30 p.m. ET, followed by an approximately 8:30 p.m. ET start for the second. Both games will be broadcast on TNT.
Phee-nomenal Owls go for 4-0
After starting the Unrivaled season 2-0, Vinyl could drop two-straight games. That’s not because the club isn’t capable; it’s because, Laces, who beat Vinyl on Friday, and Lunar Owls, their opponent on Monday, are just that good.
Not enough can said about how excellent Napheesa Collier has been through Owls’ first three games, authoring all-round, highly-efficient stat lines that have situated her club for confident wins. She’s complemented in the starting group by Skylar Diggins-Smith’s spunk and Allisha Gray’s grit, with Courtney Williams and Shakira Austin bringing more fearless play from off the bench. It’s an equation that appears to be becoming more and more difficult for opponents to solve.
Vinyl will attempt to do so through its own strong starting group, where the ignitable duo of Arike Ogunbowale and Rhyne Howard is supported by the indomitable Dearica Hamby. To try to trouble Owls, it would be interesting to see Vinyl try to involve Aliyah…
