Sunday's Best WNBA First Basket Scorer Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Chicago Sky vs. Seattle Storm
Kamilla Cardoso has eight First Baskets in 36 games, cashing this prop at an excellent 22.2% rate.
Cardoso holds the advantage when it comes to securing the opening tip. The 6'7 center has won upwards of 70% of tips this season while the 6'6 Aliyah Boston has won 57.9%. While that number is impressive, late news that Boston (lower leg) will not play tonight makes Cardoso an even bigger play.
Chicago will likely have the first possession, so back Cardoso to get the scoring started tonight against a much less intimidating frontcourt with Boston sidelined.
Picks: Kamilla Cardoso (+357)
