Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesThe BIG3’s exciting 2026 season concludes Saturday afternoon at Spectrum Center in Charlotte with the league’s Championship Game pitting the Dallas Power and Boston Ball Hogs.
The two squads vying for the Julius Erving Trophy earned their way to the championship clash with impressive playoff victories against the Triplets (Ball Hogs) and the defending champion 305 (Power).
With what should be a thrilling high-stakes finale on tap, let’s dive into three PrizePicks props to consider for Saturday’s title showdown:
Jeremy Pargo, Ball Hogs Bet: More Than 19.5 PointsPargo was a prolific scorer throughout the 2026 season and the heart and soul of the Ball Hogs’ offense. The well-traveled veteran boasts averages of 20.0 points alongside 4.8 rebounds and a league-high 3.9 assists per contest since the start of the campaign.
Pargo has rung up a league-high 180 total points, 68 field goals, 20 three-pointers and seven four-pointers, making him the most productive source of scoring in the league from wire to wire in 2026.
Pargo had a rare off shooting night in last Saturday’s playoff victory against the Triplets – he went just 6-for-22 from the floor – but he still finished with 14 points. Pargo has averaged 17.9 shots per game since the start of the season, so he’s capable of powering his way through struggles more often than not.
Dallas was stingy on defense throughout the season, but with everything on the line and Pargo’s ability to pile up points in a hurry with his long-distance shooting, a bet on him getting to the 20-point mark is in play.
Greg Monroe, PowerBet: More Than 14.5 PointsMonroe had an outstanding 2026 season as both a scorer and rebounder, averaging 14.6 points and 9.3 boards per contest. The talented big man shot a solid 47.9% from the floor, and he was 7-for-10 on his way to 14 points in Dallas’ Week 1 win over Boston.
Monroe tallied 18 points on 8-for-18 shooting in last week’s playoff win over 305, and the big man has averaged a solid 13.0 shot attempts per contest since the start of the regular season.
As that number indicates, Monroe is a key component of the Power’s week-to-week offense, and the fact the Ball Hogs have allowed the third-most points (400) since the start of the campaign certainly doesn’t dampen the big man’s outlook.
DeShawn Stephens, Ball HogsBet: More Than 22.5 Points + Rebounds + AssistsStephens put together an outstanding season for the Ball Hogs, and he was downright dominant in last Saturday’s playoff win over the Triplets with a 27-point, 11-rebound double-double.
The veteran forward has shot a league-best 62.9% since the start of the regular season, while averaging 12.9 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Those figures have translated to 23.7 points + rebounds + assists per contest, placing him above the figure for this prop.
Stephens has the size to hold his own down low against Monroe, and as he demonstrated in the aforementioned win over Chicago, he can turn up his offensive contributions significantly when necessary.
Given his importance alongside Pargo, Stephens should have enough opportunity to compile meaningful numbers in what could be a buzzer-to-buzzer battle.
