Peak Performer: Sonia Citron

Prediction: Hive wins

January 5th (Opening Day)

Phantom vs Breeze

What to watch for: Lots of 3 balls & lots of blocked shots. Highly anticipated duel between Unrivaled newcomers Paige Bueckers and Kelsey Plum. No shortage of defense with some of the best rim protectors in women's basketball going at it; Cameron Brink, Dominique Malonga & Rickea Jackson (Breeze) vs Aliyah Boston & Satou Sabally (Phantom). These are the Top 2 teams in my preseason rankings.

Peak Performer: Cameron Brink

Prediction: Breeze wins

January 10th

Laces vs Mist

What to watch for: When friends become foes! Brittney Sykes & Breanna Stewart will go to war! Lots of length in this matchup with Stewie (6'4"), Alanna Smith (6'4") & Li Yueru (6'7") for the Mist.

Peak Performer: Allisha Gray

Prediction: Mist wins

January 11th

Hive vs Vinyl

What to watch for: StudBudz reunite! Natisha Hiedeman and Courtney Williams will look to electrify... and we might even get a glimpse into a future 1-on-1 matchup! Come for the "twins," stay for the battle inside between 6'9" Brittney Griner and 6'4" Ezi Magbegor.

Peak Performer: Courtney Williams

Prediction: Hive wins

January 17th

Mist vs Lunar Owls

What to watch for: Two of the very best players in all of women's basketball [and league co-founders] Phee (Owls) and Stewie (Mist) clash. They both have a phenomenal supporting cast of shooters and defensive masterminds; Skylar Diggins & Marina Mabrey (Owls) and Arike Ogunbowale & Alanna Smith (Mist).

Peak Performer: Napheesa Collier

Prediction: Lunar Owls win

January 18th

Rose vs Laces

What to watch for: Lots of dime-dishing with two of the Top 10 assist leaders in WNBA history, Chelsea Gray (Rose) and Alyssa Thomas (Laces). Both have plenty of options around the arc; Gray with Azura Stevens & Kahleah Copper and AT with Jordin Canada & Jackie Young.

Peak Performer: Jackie Young

Prediction: Laces win

January 25th

Rose vs Phantom

What to watch for: Spice level on 100 in this one with two guards who never back down: Kahleah Copper and Kelsey Plum. While this matchup might go down to the wire and one of these two could very well decide the outcome, look for all-court dog Natasha Cloud to leave a lasting impression.

Peak Performer: Natasha Cloud

Prediction: Phantom wins

February 17th

Breeze vs Lunar Owls

What to watch for: No shortage of big names in this one: Paige, Cameron, Marina, Phee, Skylar, etc. Two things I'm most eager for: Phee vs Cam around the rim and Money Martin's production from 3.

Peak Performer: Cameron Brink

Prediction: Breeze wins

February 22nd

Phantom vs Hive

What to watch for: Dynamic Fever/Mystics duos in Aliyah Boston & KiKi Iriafen vs Kelsey Mitchell & Sonia Citron. These four will likely make up the majority of the scoring in this one.

Peak Performer: Aliyah Boston

Prediction: Phantom wins

February 23rd

Lunar Owls vs Vinyl

What to watch for: Dearica Hamby and Rhyne Howard's versatility and 3x3 experience on the world stage makes them both super dangerous; inside-out scoring.

Peak Performer: Dearica Hamby

Prediction: Vinyl wins
