Sunday's Best WNBA Player Props
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Ezi Magbegor Under 7.5 Points (+102)
Ezi Magbegor has played in 10 games since coming off the injured list, averaging 18.5 minutes, 6.2 points and 4.2 rebounds. She has been in the starting lineup the last five games, averaging a little over seven points and pulling down five rebounds a game. She went over this total in her last game, but has done so just twice in the last 10 games.
At this point in the season, the Storm appears focused on getting Dominique Malonga and Flau'jae Johnson involved. Don't expect much from Magbegor today.
Angel Reese Over 27.5 Points + Rebounds (-122)
Angel Reese has gone under this total in 17 out of 32 games this season but has hit the over in eight of her last 12. However, she has gone under it in three of her last four. Reese has averaged over 14 rebounds across her last six games, but her max in three previous games versus Indiana this season is 11.
Indiana is tough to rebound against, but even if the Fever do limit Reese on the boards, she can easily make up the difference on the scoreboard. She is averaging 15.6 points per game but scored 18 and 21 in her last two games against the Fever.
A total of 10 players have scored 20+ points against Indiana over the last 10 games; some more than once. Reese can and will do the same against Indiana today, sending the total over this mark.
Kahleah Copper Over 21.5 Points (-130)
Kahleah Copper has averaged 20.6 points per game this season, going over this total in just 13 games, but has hit the under in her last four. With Kelsey Plum out, the offense is going to lean on her quite a bit.
Portland has struggled to slow opposing teams down this season. Over the last 10 games, they've allowed 91.6 points per game, with seven players scoring 22+ points in that stretch. Copper is one of the league’s premier scoring threats.
With Plum out, Copper should see an increase in shots. Even if she has a lackluster night on the floor, her volume may be high enough for her to finish over this total.
