Thursday’s Best WNBA Player Props, Bets & Picks
Veronica Burton Under 14.5 Points (+100)
Veronica Burton has been an up-and-down player this season for the surprising Golden State Valkyries, and yes, she gets to play the Wings, whom we have targeted all year. However, Burton has failed to cross this mark in two of three matchups against Dallas and hasn’t come close to it in her last two games. The Prop Beat Cheat Sheet has her at 11.7 points tonight, and at plus money, that is some nice wiggle room to still stay under the line.
Kayla McBride Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (+115)
The last time Minnesota visited Las Vegas, the game ended in an absolute shellacking with the Lynx winning 111-58. In that contest, McBride made EIGHT three-pointers and has gotten to three or more in five straight games, including hitting five in each of the last two. Granted, the Aces took that game to heart and turned into a monster basketball team thereafter, climbing all the way to the second seed if the playoffs started today. Therefore, this may be a Finals matchup. Minnesota is at its best when it is hitting its threes and running other teams out of the building. There is no way they win by 56 points tonight, but I think McBride getting three from beyond the arc is a great plus-money play.
Maddy Siegrist Over 14.5 Points (+100)
This is a solid bet because the Dallas Wings have approximately three healthy players for every game from here on out. They singlehandedly made all W fans learn what an “extreme” hardship is. Maddy Siegrist is seeing increased minutes and shot opportunities as a result, and she has crossed this mark in three of her last four, including the last matchup against the Valkyries when she got 16. I’ll take it at even money.
