Tonight we have a full four-game slate across the association. Things get started at 7:30 p.m. EST with a trifecta of contests, each having heavy playoff implications. The Las Vegas Aces head to Connecticut to take on the Sun, and Dallas match-up against the Dream in Atlanta. Last, and certainly not least, The Indiana Fever will host the Minnesota Lynx in what should be an epic battle at the Field House.
Closing out the night, the Los Angeles Sparks face-off against Chicago at 10:00 p.m. EST. The Sky are fighting to stave off two teams for the last vacant playoff spot in the 2024 campaign; a win here is paramount for the young team.
With such a robust slate, let’s not waste any more time and jump right into some of our favorite selections for September 6. Here are our top WNBA prop bet picks for Friday’s contests.
Friday’s Best WNBA Player Prop Bets
Tina Charles Lower 14.5 Points (-110)
Tina Charles has had a phenomenal season. This is especially true when you consider the crafty veteran is in year 12 of her career. Charles has even recorded a triple-double, the first in the history of the Atlanta Dream.
Tonight, the Atlanta Center faces a Dallas team that is allowing the most points to opponents at the highest field-goal percentage. This seems to be quite the favorable spot in what should be a contest fueled by a torrid pace.
Charles has exceeded 14.5 points in 5 of 8 games, with an average of 18.5 points during that stretch. The Atlanta Dream are playing to solidify the last spot in the playoffs, and there’s little reason to believe they won’t feature the veteran center heavily in their offense.
Napheesa Collier 4+ Assists (+118)
Napheesa Collier has been by far the best scoring option for the Lynx this season. The Olympic gold medal winner is averaging the second-highest point total per game of her career with 20.4. However, recently, Collier has seen a slight uptick in assists, and we feel this could be a sneaky spot to get in on at plus odds.
The Minnesota forward has recorded four or more assists in the last 5-of-8 games since returning from the break. Indiana allows over 21 assists per game on the year, while Minnesota leads the league with 23.3 dimes each contest.
The Fever are playing at the highest pace in the WNBA, so there should be ample opportunity for Collier to find some open teammates in what should be a high-scoring affair.
Brionna Jones Higher 15+ Points (+106)
The Connecticut forward has had an extremely hot hand as of late, scoring at least 20 points in back-to-back contests. Tonight, Brionna Jones matches up against a Las Vegas team that is not very strong defending in the paint as a whole; however, A’ja Wilson leads the league in blocked shots.
This did not bode well for the Aces the last time these teams matched up earlier in the season when Jones scored 18 points in only 28 minutes of playing time. Over the last three contests, Jones is shooting a phenomenal 65.8% from the field on 33 attempts.
When at home, Jones is averaging an extra 2.5 points per game. Las Vegas, on the other hand, is slowing over 82 points per game on 43% shooting. The Aces also lead the league in opposing field-goal attempts. If Jones can get up 10-13 shots tonight, she shouldn’t have much trouble reaching 15 points.
Marina Mabrey Higher 1.5 Three-Pointers (-130)
Staying within the same organization, Marina Mabrey appears to be in a very favorable spot against one of the league’s most gracious in regards to conceding three-point baskets. Las Vegas are allowing the opposition to knock-down over eight three-pointers each contest at the second-highest percentage in the WNBA (36.3%) .
Mabrey only recorded one three-pointer over the last two games against a stringent Seattle Storm perimeter defense. Prior to this back-to-back matchup, the Connecticut guard successfully made at least two or more three-pointers in 12-of-13 games. This includes three made baskets from beyond the arc against Las Vegas on 7/16.
This number is surprising, given the success before the last two contests. The odds may be a little juicier than we’d prefer, but this is a very low total against an opponent that gives up so many threes per game.
Kamilla Cardoso 10+ Points (-135)
The rookie out of South Carolina seems to have found her footing in the league after a start marred by inconsistent minute distribution. Over the last six contests, Kamilla Cardoso has only been on the floor for less than 30 minutes in one game.
If you go back even further to the prior eight games, Cardoso has only failed to reach 10 points in two contests. Tonight, the Chicago Center faces a Los Angeles team that has seemingly thrown up the white flag on the season, allowing opponents to score an average of over 90 points in the last five contests.
Cardoso only needed 28 minutes on the floor to score 15 points on 66% shooting the last time these two faced off on August 17. In a must-win scenario, we feel the Sky may have to rely heavily on their most efficient scoring option for easy baskets in the paint. This could be a tremendous game for the rookie center.
Enjoy the games today, have a great weekend, and good luck with your picks!
