Thursday’s Best WNBA Pick
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Washington Mystics (+1000) at Las Vegas Aces (-16) | O/U 171 (-110/-110)
In a game with a 16-point spread and a favorite juiced to -2200, it can be hard to find value. Luckily for us, an edge may be presenting itself.
Stefanie Dolson is questionable for this matchup with an illness. She represents most of the vertical presence inside for Washington and if she is a no-go Hines-Allen should see an uptick in minutes. The rebounding opportunities will be there despite Hines-Allen’s 6’1 height being four inches shorter than Dolson’s 6’5 frame. The former Louisville Cardinal has grabbed six or more rebounds in five of her last nine contests and even if Dolson suits up, the former UConn Huskie could see reduced minutes. The better-than-even money being offered on this prop while it simultaneously offers increasing value as we wait for the final word on Dolson makes this prop simply tooooo good.
Regardless of whether or not Dolson plays, all the trends to the value in this prop, especially against an Aces squad that sees opponents averaging 35.1 rebounds per game, ranking in the bottom half of the W in that department,
WNBA Picks: Myisha Hines-Allen 6+ Rebounds (+104)
