RWE vs. YNG: Part 3

Friday, January 23:

📍 7 PM - RWE vs. YNG Dreamerz

📍 9 PM - Diamond Doves vs. Cold Hearts

Friday night is another big night in Atlanta with two matchups that will go a long way in determining playoff seeding. The marquee matchup of the weekend is part 3 of the heated rivalry between RWE and the YNG Dreamerz. RWE is 2-0 against the Dreamerz so far this season and tonight’s game comes with extra stakes, as the winner of the game is all but guaranteed to finish with the third or higher seed in the standings. In addition, with awards season in full swing, tonight’s games can go a long way in determining some of the tighter races. Make sure to vote for the awards HERE 🏅

In this matchup up to this point, Parker Robinson has been an absolute menace, averaging 29.5 PPG in his two games against the Dreamerz, up immensely from his season average of 17.3 PPG. Robinson’s case for an All-OTE spot has been on a steady rise since December and another strong performance against the Dreamerz could lock him into one of those spots 🔥

Robinson’s teammate and counterpart for the Best Duo award, Taylen Kinney, has also been on a heater recently, albeit a different type of heater. Kinney has been the best passer in the month of January, averaging 9.6 APG this month which is tops in the league. Kinney’s passing acumen has directly contributed to the team’s winning as well, as RWE is 6-1 this season when he records 5+ assists in a game while their record falls to 4-4 when he records four or fewer assists in a game 🪙

The Dreamerz may be 0-2 against RWE this season, however, Caleb Jones has been on a historic heater lately and will look to push the Dreamerz over the top tonight. After Jones’ historic 59 point performance against the City Reapers last weekend, he now leads the league in points scored (437 points) and is third in the league in PPG (27.3 PPG). With these performances, Jones shouldn’t just be considered for All-OTE but should also be considered a dark horse contender in the OTE MVP conversation 🤯

The other game on Friday night is a matchup that appears to be lopsided on paper between the Cold Hearts and Diamond Doves but might actually provide a little more intrigue than previously imagined. The last time these two teams met the Cold Hearts squeaked out a five point victory and things may have gotten even closer since then. The Cold Hearts just had their historic ten game winning streak snapped last weekend and in the meantime the Diamond Doves snapped their own ten game losing streak with a win against the Blue Checks earlier this week 🥶
