Final Regular Season Monday Matchups 🏀
The Push to Playoffs continues!
Monday Preview 🏀
Tonight's slate is the final Monday of the Unrivaled regular season, and with the playoffs kicking off Saturday in Miami, every possession matters. Vinyl and the Lunar Owls have history to settle, and the Breeze and Mist are due for an intense rematch. On Friday, four more matchups close out the regular season for good before the playoff fun begins!
Lunar Owls @ Vinyl
Owls Look to Repeat, Vinyl Looks to Respond
The last time these two met on January 19th, Marina Mabrey and Aaliyah Edwards were on fire. Mabrey poured in a game-high 31 points with nine rebounds, and Edwards stuffed the stat sheet with 13 points and a career-high 18 rebounds, including six on the offensive glass, to fuel a 68-57 Lunar Owls victory.
For Vinyl, Rhyne Howard put up 20, and Courtney Williams added 14. On Saturday versus Breeze, Rae Burrell led the pack with a career-high 24 points, seven rebounds, and a steal.
Vinyl enters ranked 6th, and the Owls 8th. With the Unrivaled Playoffs Sponsored by Samsung just days away, Lunar Owls must win to contend. If Vinyl wins, they’ll clinch the final playoff spot.

Mist @ Breeze
Breeze Effect
When these clubs last met, Paige Bueckers put on a memorable performance. She dropped a career-high 37 points, setting the Breeze single-game scoring record, including an Unrivaled-record 18 points in the first quarter alone, outscoring the entire Mist squad in the opening period. Cameron Brink added a career-high 18, and Dominique Malonga posted a 16-point, 15-rebound double-double as the Breeze pulled away 83-64.
On Saturday’s victory over Vinyl, Breeze set a new league single-game record for blocks as a club with their total of 10, eight of which belong to Malonga and Cameron Brink.
Mist Magic
Breanna Stewart led the Mist against the last Breeze meetup with 26 points and 11 rebounds, and Allisha Gray added 20, her fourth 20-point game of the season. On Saturday’s victory over Lunar Owls, Gray and Stewart grabbed new career highs with 37 and 31 points, respectively, on top of Gray’s career-best five 3-pointers and Stewart’s third consecutive double-double.
Tonight, Mist gets their shot at redemption. Expect both clubs to come out with everything they've got.
