Thursday’s Best WNBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Ariel Atkins Over 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-128)
The Washington guard is averaging 19 points over the last two games while the Mystics are entrenched in a battle for the last remaining playoff vacancy. While Indiana has already secured a spot in the top eight, it wouldn't be a Fever game without a ton of points and a torrid pace.
Ariel Atkins has knocked down six three-pointers over the last two contests; with an average of 9.5 attempts per game. In three previous games against the Fever this season, Atkins is averaging 23 points and three rebounds.
The rebounds are more or less baked into how much we'd expect the Mystics guard to score during this contest. Nothing wrong with having an extra out in case the shot isn't falling as efficiently as in the previous matchups.
Jordin Canada Over 10.5 Points (-128)
After a wonky stretch where Jordin Canada was dealing with inconsistent playing time, she has been on the floor for 30 minutes or more in five games straight. Over that span, Canada has cleared 10.5 points in 4-of-7 games.
While New York is certainly a team that you normally do not want to take Overs on in regards to points, they may choose to sit a few starters in this game to rest up for the playoffs.
Speaking of which, this is a win-or-go-home situation for the Atlanta Dream, who will need the entire starting five to make the most of their minutes on the floor tonight.
Canada has cleared this total in two straight contests on 49% shooting from the field while playing 34.5 minutes.
Allisha Gray Under 2+ Made Three-Pointers (-146)
We continue with another scoring threat for the Atlanta Dream who will be playing for a playoff birth. This selection is incredibly juicy, more than we are usually comfortable with. However, it pairs nicely with the Jordin Canada option.
Gray has surpassed this three-point threshold in 1-of-3 games against the Liberty this season. Though, as previously stated, this may not be the normal New York squad taking the court tonight.
Over the last six games, the Atlanta guard is averaging over 38 minutes of playing time. With that type of volume, it's difficult to pass up on this selection. Gray has hit two or more three-points in 4-of-6 contests.
Seattle Storm at Phoenix Mercury – Under 158.5 Points (-108)
There's not much to say about this contest if we can be candid. There is a tremendous amount of obscurity in regards to starting lineups; making it very possible that almost the entire starting lineup for both teams may choose to take a breather in this game. At the very least, some players may see around 20 minutes just to keep in game mode.
It's not a stretch to expect an increase in missed field goals in a contest that should consist of mainly players who do not receive much playing time. Seattle certainly utilizes their bench, Phoenix on the other hand, rely heavily on one person to come off the bench and provide points. Aside from that, the starting five are the main source for scoring.
Here's to Nika Muhl hopefully making her first basket of the season (and a few more!). Beyond that, we simply do not expect this game to exceed 158 points.
Dallas Wings at Las Vegas Aces – Under 168.5 Points (-110)
Similar story in this one, although, the Dallas Wings will most likely have their starters on the floor for a decent portion in this contest. These two teams rank in the top four in the points department; averaging a combined 190 per game.
On most nights this would be a smash over with a 20+-point differential. However, at some point Dallas should allow their player’s who did not receive big minutes on the season to get some time on the floor.
Even if the starting players for Dallas put up a 60-piece in the first half, there's a very good chance the second half plays out entirely different.
Enjoy the games today, and good luck with your picks! It's been a great season! We hope to see you here again in 2025!
