Tuesday's Best WNBA First Basket Scorer Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Portland Fire vs. Connecticut Sun
Leila Lacan has scored three first baskets this season in just 14 games since her late start to the season. That's good for a 21.4% cash rate, by far the best rate of any starter in this game. Lacan has more first baskets than every other starter except for Megan Gustafson, who also has three first baskets. However, Gustafson, despite scoring first in her last game, has played in 23 games, nine more than Lacan, giving her a cash rate of just 13.0%. Three of her four cashes have come in the last nine games (33%).
Despite these numbers, Lacan is returning +587, offering incredible value.
