Tuesday’s Best WNBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Jonquel Jones Over 13.5 Points (-113)
The New York Liberty haven’t dominated the Mystics the way you would expect this season, but Jones has been unstoppable against the 13-win team. She’s scored at least 16 points in each of her games against them, netting at least 25 in two of three. For the season, she’s averaging over 23 points per game against the Mystics.
Jones has scored fewer than 10 points in each of her last two games. She’s also played 23 minutes or fewer in her last three contests. The Liberty are atop the standings, so if they get out to a huge lead tonight, they may start resting players as they look toward the postseason. However, this is such a good matchup for Jones that she may only need to play 20 minutes to hit the over.
Diana Taurasi Over 2.5 Made Threes (+130)
How are we getting this price for this Over? In two games against the Sparks, Taurasi has knocked down 12 three-pointers, including at least five in each contest. She’s 12-of-17 against them for a shooting percentage of over 70%. It’s unlikely she will shoot it at such a high percentage tonight, but she should still clear this number with ease.
The Sparks have the worst three-point defense in the league. They’re allowing opponents to knock down 36.6% of their attempts from deep. Taurasi clearly loves this matchup, and even if the Sparks sell out to stop her, they don’t have the talent on their perimeter defense to do anything about it. It’s shocking to see this at +130.
A’ja Wilson 14+ Rebounds (+205)
The price is what makes this play worth it. The last time Wilson took on the Storm, she pulled down 20 rebounds. However, in her other two games against the team allowing the most rebounds per contest, Wilson failed to pull down even 12 boards.
Tonight, Wilson’s total is set at 11.5. While it’s likely she hits that, the price of -120 is a little steep considering she’s only cleared that number once in three tries against the Storm. Still, she’s averaging 12 rebounds per game, and she’s pulled down at least 12 rebounds in five of her last seven. Over 11.5 is the safe play, but 14 or more provides a lot of value. After all, she’s pulled down at least 14 rebounds in four of her last seven.
