Top WNBA Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Rhyne Howard U 15.5 Points (-115)
The Valkyries are the No. 1 defense in the WNBA and have given Howard fits this season. The guard has scored 12, nine, 19, 12 and five points in her five matchups with Golden State. In these WNBA Finals, Howard has shot a terrible 5-of-21 from the field.
Given her struggles in this matchup, Howard is handling a 19% usage rate when facing Golden State, which is a notable drop from her 21% average for the season.
This series shifting to Atlanta for tonight’s Game 3 is a good sign for Howard as she is averaging 2.1 more points at home than on the road, but will being back at home be enough for her top 15.5 points? With the Valkyries’ stout defense on the other side, it’s hard to have faith in that happening.
Gabby Williams O 18.5 Points (-122)
The Valkyries have set Williams free during these playoffs and she was one of the main reasons for Golden State’s deep run to the finals to begin with. Williams is averaging 22 points in 30.9 minutes per game this postseason after averaging 14.4 points in 25.1 minutes per game in the regular season.
Her usage is also up to 33% after seeing a 29% rate in the regular season. Williams is an efficient scorer, producing 0.6 points per minute while shooting 41% from the field this season. She has cleared 18.5 points in 6-of-8 playoff games, including a 36-point outing vs. the Wings in the first round.
Williams was held to 14 points in Monday’s Game 2 vs. the Dream, but she lit Atlanta up for 26 points in Game 1 and should rebound with a big scoring output tonight.
