Thursday’s WNBA slate features two games with the first being quite a lopsided affair. The Liberty will host the Valkyries for the second consecutive game after winning 95-67 on Tuesday.
New York is 4-0 to start off its WNBA title defense, while Golden State is just four games into its inaugural WNBA season. Like Tuesday, this should be a blowout in New York.
The Liberty are 16.5-point favorites, and the game total is set at 162.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Here are my favorite Breanna Stewart prop bets for Thursday’s game.
Best Breanna Stewart Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Breanna Stewart over 18.5 points (-105)
Betting player props for a likely blowout can be difficult since minutes are hard to predict. Stewart played just 27 minutes in the previous New York vs. Golden State game, but she still scored 24 points.
Two games prior in a 25-point win against the Sky, Stewart scored just 12 points in 25 minutes. There’s reason to believe that could happen again, but I’m leaning on the over because of Stewart’s track record.
She’s a superstar and one of the best players in the WNBA — now and in history. While the Liberty have a talented rotation, Stewart remains the top option. She’ll be looked upon early and often in this game against Golden State.
This game should get out of hand early, and it’ll be due to Stewart’s scoring. She may only play 25-28 minutes tonight, but that’s more than enough to hit the over on 18.5 points.
