Sunday's Best WNBA First Basket Scorer Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Connecticut Sun vs. Dallas Wings
Jessica Shepard has scored three first baskets in the last 10 games. In a game where no other starter has scored more than four First Baskets and the level of FB inconsistency from these two squads, that actually holds more credence than one would think. The Wings have looked to the breakout star early and after lately and a +560 return is too juicy given the circumstances.
Pick: Jessica Shepard (+560)
Los Angeles Sparks vs. Portland Fire
Nneka Ogwumike has scored a game-high seven first baskets in 26 games this season. She has a 26.9% cash rate on this prop, over 15% more than the next closest players in this game, Rae Burrell & Megan DiLeo (11.1%). Ohwumike has three in her last 10, but so does DiLeo, who is offering a +690. I'm taking the lady with seven FBs, the former Ms. Gustafson is enticing as well.
Picks: Nneka Ogwumike (+452) & Megan DiLeo (+690)
