Thursday's Best WNBA Player Props & Parlay Picks
Season: 85-71-8 | Last: 4-1 | (Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Washington Mystics (+550) at New York Liberty (-13.0) | O/U 163.5 (-108/-112)
- Leg 1: Jonquel Jones 2+ Three-Pointers (-145)
- Leg 2: Sonia Citron 12+ Points (-320)
Jonquel Jones has drained at least two three-pointers in five straight games, 6-of-7, eight of her last 10, and 11 of her last 15 (.733) contests. Jones has cashed this number in three straight home games and nine of her last 12 games (.750) in Brooklyn. JJ is averaging 2.0 three-pointers per game on 45.6% shooting from deep on the season. Since returning from injury on July 22, she has knocked down 2.2 per game!
Until the last few games, this prop was regularly in plus-territory, but I suppose being on target with 15 long-range missiles in five games is bound to move the needle.
Sonia Citron has scored at least 12 points in 14 straight games and is 28-10 (.737) against this number on the season. Citron is 15-3 (.833) cashing this prop on the road, cashing six straight dating back to July 15 in Los Angeles, the last game before the All-Star break.
Soni is averaging 15.2 points on the season and 16.8 points over her last eight road games. Still, her road record against 15+ Points is 11-7 (.611), which while still very good, is not the same as 15-3. Feel free to sweeten this SGP(x) with 15+, but for our purposes, let's take the 12+.
SGP Odds: +106
Seattle Storm (+330) at Minnesota Lynx (-9.0) | O/U 164.5 (-108/-112)
Kayla McBride has scored at least 12 points in three straight, 8-of-10, and 13 of her last 16 (.813) games overall. McBride is averaging 16.0 points across three games against the Storm this season and is 3-0 cashing this prop against the Storm this season, including a 15-point performance the last time the Lynx hosted Seattle.
The Notre Dame product is averaging 14.9 points per game for the season, so we are playing it safe as the water get muddier between 12.0 and 15.0 numbers, especially with Seattle’s defense.
Pick: Kayla McBride 12+ Points (-215)
Chicago Sky (+575) at Phoenix Mercury (-12.5) | O/U 164.5 (-108/-112)
Ariel Atkins has knocked down at least two three-pointers in three of her last five games and 4-of-7. She has also cashed this prop in 2-of-3 on the road. Atkins is 2-0 cashing this prop against the Mercury this season, draining 4-of-9 (.444) shots from deep, beginning with draining two in a 21-point performance here in Phoenix on May 27.
Pick: Ariel Atkins 2+ Three-Pointers (-125)
SGP(x) Odds: +433
