Sunday's Best WNBA First Basket Scorer Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Phoenix Mercury vs. Atlanta Dream
A'ja Wilson has two First Baskets in the last three games and is the straw that stirs the drink for the Aces. Wilson also has three First Baskets and four Aces' first baskets this season. As far as First Basket odds go, +373 is juiced, but with good reason.
Chelsea Gray has a First Basket in one of the last three games and has scored first for Vegas in two of the last three. Her odds of +1220 offer a ton of value if you don't care to back A'ja.
Picks: A'ja Wilson (+373) & Chelsea Gray (+1220)
