Thursday's Best WNBA Player Props & Parlay Picks
Season: 73-64-7 | Last: 2-1 | (Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Washington Mystics (-2.0) at Connecticut Sun (+118) | O/U 158.5 (-108/-112)
Sonia Citron has scored 15+ points in six straight games and nine of her last ten. Thus far in her rookie season, Citron is averaging 15.3 points, so this pick just calls for an average night at the office for Soni.
The All-Star has been on a scoring tear recently, averaging 19.6 points over her last 10 games. In her previous five road games, Citron has cashed this prop in four of them, while averaging 19.2 points.
As always, what it's worth, Soni is the Mystics' designated technical foul free throw shooter when she is on the court which can make all the difference in the shorter WNBA games.
Pick: Sonia Citron Over 14.5 Points (-188)
Chicago Sky (+880) at New York Liberty (-15.5) | O/U 163.0 (-110/-110)
Jonquel Jones has drained at least two three-pointers in two straight games, 3-of-4, and five of her last seven contests.
Jones has cashed this number in seven of her last ten games at home. JJ is averaging 1.8 three-pointers per game in the season and since returning from injury on July 22, she has knocked down exactly 2.0 per game. Getting plus-value on something she has averaged since being more aggressive from long range is excellent!
Pick: Jonquel Jones 2+ Three Pointers (+106)
Phoenix Mercury (+102) at Las Vegas Aces (-1.5) | O/U 170.5 (-108/-112)
A'ja Wilson has totaled over 39.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists in three straight contests and five of her last seven overall. She has also cashed this number in two straight in Vegas and four of her last five at home.
The Aces have been molten hot of late, winning eight in a row, and 10 of the last 11. Wilson has been a large part of the success (as she usually is) and has cashed this total in six of those latest 10 wins. In those 10 wins, she averaged 26.3 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 3.4 assists, good for a 42.2 PRA average.
In two games against the Merc this season, Wilson is averaging 28.0 points, 17.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists (49.0 PRA). Despite the large number, this prop makes a nice final leg of our parlay tonight!
Pick: A'ja Wilson Over 39.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110)
Parlay Odds: +502
