ToggleAll WNBA odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook
Allisha Gray Over 16.5 Points (-120)
With Rhyne Howard still out due to an ankle injury, Allisha Gray has certainly stepped up on the offensive front.
The Atlanta guard has exceeded 16.5 points in three straight games, with an average of 20 points, while shooting 50.9% from the field in each of those contests.
Gray is facing a Dallas defense tonight who are last in the WNBA in points allowed and in opponent field goal percentage.
The Wings own the second-worst defensive rating, and opponents are making 17 free throws per game.
Teaira McCowan Under 11.5 Points (-110)
The veteran forward has experienced a serious fluctuation in playing time over the last six games with minutes ranging from 10-to-29.
Subsequently, this has affected scoring production. McCowan has only surpassed 11.5 points in 2-of-8 contests.
Atlanta is conceding the third-fewest points off second-chance opportunities. The Dream also rank in the top five in limiting points per game, and opposing field-goal percentage.
Marina Mabrey Under 23.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists (-110)
Marina Mabrey is in the midst of a major scoring slump, shooting just 37.5% from the field over the last 11 games. The Chicago guard has only successfully cleared the required 23.5 Points, Rebounds, and Assists line in 3-of-9 games.
The three teams that Mabrey surpassed the 23.5 total against are Indiana, Dallas, and Las Vegas; who all rank in the bottom half of the league in regards to points allowed per game.
The Sky take on a hounding Seattle defense that is limiting opponents to 77.9 points per game, on 42.2% shooting, and only allowing 6.8 three-pointers made each contest.
Opponents are only making 6.0 three-pointers, on 34.12% shooting, over the last six games.
If the points aren’t there, the 23.5 PRA threshold will be extremely difficult to eclipse.
Ezi Magbegor Over 8.5 Rebounds (-105)
The Seattle forward has failed to exceed 8.5 rebounds in three straight games. However, the Storm were victorious by 20 points or more in 2-of-3 contests.
Ezi Magbegor will be looking for a return to form against Chicago who give up over 35 rebounds per game. The Sky also allow the fourth-most offensive rebounds and own the second-lowest field-goal percentage in the WNBA.
When these two teams faced off on May 28, the fifth-year veteran pulled down 12 boards. Magbegor is averaging a career-high 8.8 rebounds per game this season and looks to be in a great spot to clear 8.5 total rebounds tonight against Chicago.
Dearica Hamby Under 30.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists (-115)
Since losing Cameron Brink on June 18 to a season-ending ACL injury, Dearica Hamby has experienced a dip in production compared to earlier in the season.
What was once an over 20-point average, has now decreased to 18.3 per contest. The rebound production is also down to an average of eight per game since June 18.
Teams seem to be keying in on Hamby, forcing her teammates to make plays, and minimizing offensive opportunities for the Los Angeles forward.
Las Vegas decimated Washington in their contest last night. This presented the Aces with an opportunity to sit their starting players for the entire fourth quarter.
A’ja Wilson is arguably the best rim protector in the league, leading the W in blocked shots averaging 2.5 per game.
A well-rested Las Vegas team could be in line for their second blowout victory in as many nights against a struggling Los Angeles team. If that is to be the case, it would more than likely suggest Hamby performed well under season averages.
Have a good weekend, enjoy the games today, and good luck with your picks!
