Friday’s Best WNBA Same Game Parlays
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
New York Liberty vs. Washington Mystics WNBA Same Game Parlays
- Leg 1: Sabrina Ionescu Under 16.5 Points (-104)
- Leg 2: Kiki Iriafen Over 9.5 Rebounds (+102)
- Leg 3: Brittney Sykes Under 4.5 Assists (-162)
Sabrina Ionescu has contributed at least 23 points in two of her last three games. However, she’s still only added at least 17 points in 40% of games this season. In her most recent game, Ionescu attempted 15 three-pointers and drained six. However, she didn’t take more than eight threes in any game before that one. Tonight, she’ll battle a Washington defense that currently ranks second in the WNBA in points allowed to shooting guards this season. Washington has defended shooting guards well, so we’ll back Ionescu’s under.
Meanwhile, Washington’s Kiki Iriafen should be able to take advantage of Jonquel Jones and Nyara Sabally being ruled out for the Liberty. The Liberty will be thin in terms of depth on the glass, so that’ll give Iriafen a lot of potential on the glass. She’s added at least 10 rebounds in 67% of her games this season as a rookie. She’s also earned at least 12 rebounds in four of her last five games. That said, the Liberty ranks 13th in total rebounds allowed to power forwards this year.
Brittney Sykes has attempted at least 13 shots in each of her first five games with the Mystics this year. Because of her high volume, the assists have taken a hit. Sykes has recorded no more than four assists in two of her last three games. She’s also added just 3.4 assists per game against the Liberty in her previous 10 games against them. The points will be up, but the assists will likely be down tonight.
Parlay Odds: +411
Minnesota Lynx vs. Phoenix Mercury WNBA Same Game Parlays
- Leg 1: Courtney Williams Over 4.5 Rebounds (-146)
- Leg 2: Alanna Smith Over 4.5 Rebounds (-1114)
- Leg 3: Kayla McBride Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (-102)
Courtney Williams has added five rebounds in four consecutive games this season. Ultimately, she’s been active on the glass, adding at least two offensive rebounds in back-to-back games. Meanwhile, the Mercury ranks eighth in the WNBA in rebounds allowed to shooting guards this season. Williams typically plays more than 30 minutes a night and should get lots of opportunities on the glass against Phoenix.
On the other hand, Alanna Smith has added at least six rebounds in two of her last three games. Smith has seen inconsistent minutes to begin the year. However, her efficiency rating was the highest it had been this season in Minnesota’s most recent game against Seattle. That should help get her some minutes. Meanwhile, the Mercury are 12th in the WNBA in rebounds allowed to power forwards. That’s another key for Smith.
Finally, consider Kayla McBride to drain at least three three-pointers. She made her season debut against Seattle on May 27th and drilled three three-pointers after shooting 50% from deep. Plus, the Mercury ranks just seventh in three-pointers allowed to shooting guards this season. Phoenix has defended the three very well against all positions except shooting guard. McBride should get many attempts from downtown tonight.
