She&#8217;s yet to play the New York Liberty in her career but it&#8217;s a relatively good matchup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Liberty have the second-best record in the WNBA but are an average defensive team, allowing the sixth-most points per game (81.1) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Bueckers is averaging 19.1 PPG over her last 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/wnba\">Full WNBA betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best WNBA pick<\/strong>s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Boston to record a double-double (+110)<\/strong>: Boston has cashed this wager in six straight games, and I don&#8217;t see any reason for her streak to end against the Los Angeles Sparks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>L.A. owns the worst defence in the WNBA, allowing 88.0 PPG.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Boston has double-doubled in both meetings vs. the Sparks this season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In those games, she averaged 17.5 points and 11.0 rebounds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sparks play at the second-fastest pace (96.9) with an average rebounding rate (50.3%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scoring and rebounding chances will be plentiful, and I&#8217;m backing Boston to take advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>McBride over 16.5 points (-108)<\/strong>: MVP-candidate Napheesa Collier is out for tonight&#8217;s action and I expect an uptick in scoring from the Minnesota Lynx&#8217;s guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>McBride has scored 24 points in back-to-back games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In those two games, she hit 13 of her 19 threes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In her last game against the Las Vegas Aces, McBride shot 8-for-10 from three with five assists, three steals and no turnovers. She&#8217;s hooping right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Collier left that contest early, the Lynx still managed to walk away with a 53-point win behind McBride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming off her best game of the season, I can&#8217;t see any reason why Minnesota wouldn&#8217;t heavily rely on its all-star guard without Collier in the lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McBride only averages 14.8 PPG but cleared this line in six of the past eight games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>WNBA prop picks made at 12:58 p.m. ET on 08\/05\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rookie sensation Paige Bueckers headlines Tuesday&#8217;s WNBA prop bets.
