Sunday's Best WNBA Player Props
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Allisha Gray Under 1.5 Made Three-Pointers (+116)
It is getting tougher to find value, but I feel like we’ve done so here. Allisha Gray has made at least two three-pointers in six of her last seven games and 10 of her last 15. But she is facing one of the league’s best perimeter defenses today.
For the season, the Lynx have held teams to 32% shooting from behind the line. Over the last five, they’re even better - 28.7%. Against any other defense, I'd go with the over. But against Minnesota, I'm seeing value on the under.
Dominique Malonga Over 9.5 Rebounds (+110)
Teams have not had much trouble pulling down rebounds against the Sparks this season, averaging 35.5 per game (only Seattle and Chicago have allowed more). Dominique Malonga has been one of the better rebounders in the league this season, averaging 9.4 per game.
Malonga has gone under this number in her last two games, but has pulled down at least nine rebounds in 12 of her last 15 games and finished over this number in eight of those games.
Against a struggling Sparks defense, this is a solid value pick for one of the better rebounders in the league
Veronica Burton Over 1.5 Made Three-Pointers (-106)
Veronica Burton made one three-pointer in three of her last four games, but with Cecilia Zandalasini, Janelle Salaun and Gabby Williams out, the Valkyries are going to need her to anchor the offense against Portland. Teams have shot 34.7% from the three-point line against Portland this season and 37.5% over the last five games.
With the Golden State down so many players, I wouldn't be shocked to see them playing from behind, which will lead to more three-point attempts. Burton has gone over this total in nine of her last 15 games, and she'll go over it today.
Paige Bueckers Over 21.5 Points (-108)
Paige Bueckers is averaging 20.6 points per game this season but has averaged 23.4 over her last five. She finished over this point total in five of her last seven games but scored only six points versus Connecticut on August 2nd. But the Sun have had one of the worst defenses in the league in recent games, allowing an average of 91.8 points per game over the last five.
With several players out with injuries and already with their national teams for the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup, it is unlikely the Sun will play better defense today. Five players have recorded 22+ points against the Sun in Connecticut’s last five games. Bueckers will be the sixth in six games.
