Friday night will round out with the first battle of the season between the Cold Hearts and the Diamond Doves. The Diamond Doves played both of the other Atlanta based teams (RWE and City Reapers) earlier this week and put up valiant efforts against both, but were unable to capture a win in either game. The Doves, who have been led in scoring by Arizona State commit Ketraleus Aldridge this season, will have their hands full again on Friday as they try to stop the dynamic backcourt of Mikel Brown Jr. and Adam Oumiddoch 💪

The YNG Dreamerz and Cold Hearts will each play their second game of the weekend on Saturday at 7PM in what is a highly anticipated matchup between two of the top three teams in the league. After a quiet end to the month of December, Kanon Catchings came roaring back to life on Saturday, as he led the Cold Hearts in scoring with 16 points, including the game winning bucket in a two-point win over RWE. Lost in the Eli Ellis scoring bonanza last Saturday was Don Lewis, who scored a career-high 28 points, which included an outstanding five triples for the big man 🎯

The final game of Saturday will be played between two teams seemingly headed in different directions in the Diamond Doves and Jelly Fam. Jelly Fam finally broke through their three-game losing slump and defeated the Cold Hearts last week, and now appear to be a team on the up-and-up heading into this weekend. The Diamond Doves are in the midst of a rough cold spell, as they have lost five straight games, but look to bounce back with a win over the Cold Hearts this weekend 🪃

In the first game of MLK day, we get the third round of what has been one of the best matchups this season between the City Reapers and RWE. Back on December 8, RWE handed the City Reapers their first loss of the season, as Karter Knox and Daquan Davis combined to score 41 points. Two weeks later, the City Reapers got their revenge as they defeated RWE by four points, thanks to a team effort in which four players scored in double figures for the Reapers ⚔️
