Friday's Best WNBA Player Props & Parlay Picks
Season: 75-65-7 | Last: 2-1 | (Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Minnesota Lynx (-6.5) at Indiana Fever (+205) | O/U 164.5 (-108/-112)
Napheesa Collier has made at least one three-pointer in eight straight games dating back to July 12 in Chicago. Collier has also made at least one from deep in 19-of-34 games (.559) on the year. Even better news is that Collier is 9-2 against this number on the road this season.
Full Disclosure: Pheez is a game-time decision and even if she plays, there is no guarantee how long she will play. That is why I like a prop like this because she doesn’t have to play long to cash it. Collier is also averaging 1.3 made threes on 3.7 attempts per game (36.8%) this season, so even on any kind of possible minutes restriction, she should have no problem cashing this leg.
In the event Collier is a scratch, yet again, this parlay still retains +637 value from the remaining two legs.
Pick: Napheesa Collier 1+ Three Pointer (-330)
Seattle Storm (-8.5) at Dallas Wings (+270) | O/U 169.0 (-110/-110)
Luisa Geiselsoder has connected on at least two shots from downtown in two of her last three, 3-of-5, and five of her last ten games overall. More specifically, the German baller is 2-0 against this number when facing the Seattle Storm this season. Geiselsoder has gone 5-of-9 from long distance in the two games in Seattle, including a 3-of-5 night on July 22, tying her season-high in made three-pointers.
LG has cashed this number in two straight in Dallas, as well as 4-of-6 and five of her last nine at home.
Pick: Luisa Geiselsoder 2+ Three Pointers (+138)
Golden State Valkyries (+210) at Phoenix Mercury (-6.0) | O/U 155.5 (-110/-110)
The inaugural Valkyries squad has made noise all season long, and they are in a prime value spot. This line opened last night at nearly +250 and was promptly bet down to the +160s, before settling at the current number.
If that alone isn’t enough to convince you of the value, then take into consideration the Mercury, despite their .600 season so far, including 11-6 (.647) at home, they are 5-5 overall in their last 10 games. This includes losers of two straight at home, as well as three of their last five and four of their last eight in Phoenix.
Golden State, despite coming in on a two-game losing streak, has won seven of their last ten games. That two-game skid that began at home against these same Mercury on Tuesday night, is the last time the Valks laced them up. On the other hand, Phoenix played last night and lost handily in Vegas to the surging Aces.
Nothing about this game is trending towards the Mercury. Grab this one before it gets juiced any lower.
Pick: Valkyries Moneyline (+210)
Parlay Odds: +851
