Top WNBA Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jackie Young O 6.5 Assists (-126)
The Aces blew out the Fever in Sunday’s Game 1 and Young was a huge part of the victory for Las Vegas, posting 21 points and 10 assists in 33.5 minutes. This marked the third straight game the guard has dished out double-digit assists and she has finished with at least eight assists in five of her last six.
Young is averaging a career-high 6.8 assists per game this season and she supplied nine assists in her previous matchup vs. the Fever before Game 1. Ranking second in pace and eighth in defensive rating, Indiana is an appealing matchup for Young and 6.5 assists is simply too low of a line for her in this spot.
Courtney Williams U 12.5 Points (-112)
Williams has gone cold, falling short of 12.5 points in six straight games while shooting 38% from the field over this time. The Lynx are playing for their season tonight after dropping Game 1 vs. the Liberty at home on Sunday. Williams was held to just nine points on 3-of-12 shooting in this loss and she has stayed under 12 points in 3-of-4 matchups vs. New York this season.
Williams is shooting just 37% from the field vs. the Liberty and New York’s defense has vastly improved recently after a questionable start to the season, ranking fourth in defensive rating over its last 10 games. The Liberty also rank 10th in pace during this span.
With this series shifting to New York for tonight’s Game 2, things get even more difficult for Williams and her struggles vs. the Liberty should continue. Williams is scoring just under one point less per game on the road than at home this season and she has fallen short of 12.5 points in eight of her last 10 away games.
