I have picks from both Game 3s taking place in the WNBA playoffs on Friday night.
The latest: Aliyah Boston and the Indiana Fever look to take an unexpected series lead over A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces. Later on, fade Alyssa Thomas against an elite Minnesota Lynx defence.
Check out the best WNBA prop bets for Sept. 26.
WNBA prop bets
Best bet: Thomas under 18.5 rebounds and assists (-136)
The Lynx finished with the best record in the WNBA (34-10) largely because of their defence.
- Minnesota has allowed the second-fewest points per game (76.7).
- Co-Defensive Player of the Year Alanna Smith averaged 3.3 steals/blocks per game and will be matched up with Thomas frequently.
Thomas is an MVP finalist in her own right and smashed this line in Game 2 with eight rebounds and 13 assists.
But that was an outlier in a season full of below-average performances against the Lynx.
Including the playoffs, Thomas is 1-4 against this wager vs. Minnesota this season, averaging 16.6 rebounds/assists.
This line is achievable but still requires an above-average performance, which is hard to come by against the Lynx.
Key stat: Thomas went under this total in 21 of 39 regular season games.
Best WNBA picks
Boston over 9.5 rebounds (+104): Boston is one of the WNBA’s premium rebounders.
She averaged 8.2 rebounds during the regular season and finished with 17 double-doubles.
A big part of this wager is her opponent, too. Four-time MVP A’ja Wilson (recently crowned) was easily the best rebounder in the league, posting 10.2 RPG.
Why is that important? Well, if the Fever want to have any chance of slowing down Wilson on the glass, they’ll need Boston matched up with her early and often.
That means putting the sophomore centre in a lot of good positions to grab rebounds.
So far, that’s exactly how things have played out. Boston has hauled in double-digit boards in both games to start the series and is 4-1 against the wager vs. the Aces this season.
In the playoffs, Boston is averaging 10.6 rebounds.
