Who is ready for week three of Unrivaled?
Things will begin with Rose playing against Phantom (7:15 p.m. ET), and then the marquee matchup will be battle of the unbeatens, with the Lunar Owls facing the Laces (8:15 p.m. ET). Both games will be broadcast on TNT.

Rose is stacked with talent, with Angel Reese, Kahleah Copper, Chelsea Gray and Brittney Sykes, but they’ve only earned one win in the four games they’ve played. They’ve struggled to score consistently, averaging 69.5 points per game as a team.
For Rose to beat Phantom, Reese will have to play very well, winning those rebounds over the likes of Brittney Griner.
Copper also will have to stay aggressive and continue attacking the basket. She’s averaging a team-high 13.8 points per game. For Phantom, they’ll want to establish Griner early and give Satou Sabally the ball as much as possible. She’s averaging 18.3 points per game, making her the sixth-best scorer in the league.
