Saturday’s Best WNBA Player Props
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Angel Reese Under 11.5 Rebounds (-118)
The first game of the day is the always anticipated matchup between two of the WNBA's young stars. The Fever will travel to Atlanta to take on the Dream. This will be the third matchup of the season between these two teams. Although they've split the two games so far, one thing has remained constant: Angel Reese going under on her rebounds prop.
Reese has been priced pretty efficiently on this prop. She has gone 7-7 to the over/under. But when it comes to the matchup with Indiana, she is 0-2 to the over. This makes sense because the Fever are a difficult matchup not only for Reese, but for Atlanta's ability to get boards in general.
The Dream, led by Reese, is an elite offensive rebounding team, but Indiana ranks third in defensive rebounding rate. Their ability to crash the boards will make it difficult for Reese to get her hands on second-chance rebounds, which she typically excels at. You can still expect her to get her fair share, but with this number being so high, the under is a strong play.
Awa Fam Over 9.5 Points (-122)
The Seattle Storm and Phoenix Mercury matchup is far from the most exciting game on Saturday’s schedule. It does, however, give us one of the best prop bet opportunities on the board. Storm center Awa Fam is having a bit of a breakout since the calendar changed to June. In her last six games, she's averaging 12.8 points per game (PPG) and has gone over her points prop in four out of six games.
One of those four games where she went over was an 18-point outburst against the Mercury on June 3rd. It was this game where she really stepped up and showcased what she was capable of creating. This breakout performance makes a lot of sense when you dive into the matchup.
Phoenix has taken a step back a bit in its defense this season. One area where they have been particularly vulnerable is at the rim. The Mercury ranks in the bottom five in field-goal rate at the rim, which is an area of the floor that Fam can feast on.
Additionally, Fam’s ability to pop out and shoot a three makes her an even more massive threat to score. All that is reason as to why I am riding the hot hand.
