Phoenix Platypi vs. Alabama Slammers is the ESPN Game of the Week, the only one pitting two teams from the top half against each other this round. Platypi have three of the top five players, in Davis, Darvish and Moore; the Slammers have been led so far by Crisp, so will probably need to step up their game to have any realistic chance of taking victory this week.
