Napheesa Collier 10+ Rebounds (+102)
The 2024 Olympic gold medal winner is averaging 9.9 rebounds on the season and will face a Chicago team that owns the second-lowest shooting percentage in the league (42.2%). Over the last five games, this percentage has dipped even lower to 40.3%.
The Sky are allowing over eight offense rebounds per game and just over 34 in total. Minnesota doesn’t have much size in their starting lineup, and Alanna Smith may miss this contest, which would present even more rebounding opportunities for Collier.
The Minnesota forward grabbed 11 rebounds against Chicago in their previous matchup this season. If this contest can stay competitive into the fourth quarter, Collier looks to be in a positive situation to grab 10+ rebounds.
Lexie Hull Over 10.5 Points (-120)
Lexie Hull, or Hull Hogan, as she may soon be commonly referred to, has solidified herself as an extremely important component to the success of the Fever. For most of the season, the Stanford standout has fallen victim to sporadic distributions of playing time.
That all came to a halt recently when the Indiana forward knocked down six three-pointers in a major win against the Seattle Storm. In only 21 minutes on the court, she scored 22 points and only missed two shots out of 10 attempts.
Since that contest, Hull has not played fewer than 26 minutes, including over 30 minutes in the last three games. The Fever forward has scored at least 11 points in 3-of-5 games. Today she faces a Dallas team that concedes the most points in the WNBA, as well as allows the highest field-goal percentage to opponents.
Kelsey Mitchell Over 21.5 Points (-102)
Staying within the same team, Kelsey Mitchell has been nothing short of amazing since returning from the break. The six-year veteran out of Ohio State is averaging 25.6 points while scoring no fewer than 21 points in six straight games.
Mitchell is shooting the lights out on a nightly basis and faces off against arguably the most forgiving defense in the league. The Wings are simply incapable of stopping the opposition from scoring at will, allowing over 90 points per game.
The Indiana guard scored 18 points in the first half alone on Friday against Chicago. The focus appears to be volume-scoring from here on out. Dallas just might be the perfect fit to cater to that mindset.
Kahleah Copper 2+ Three-Pointers (-120)
These odds most certainly raise an eyebrow based on the total. Kahleah Copper owns the third-highest average for points per game with 22.3. She has knocked down 62 three-pointers on the season and is facing a Las Vegas team that allows over eight three-pointers in each contest.
The Mercury guard has already successfully made 2+ three-pointers against the Aces in a previous matchup early on in the season. Copper scored 31 in that game, with five three-pointers. Since returning from winning a gold medal in the Olympics, Cooper has two or more three-pointers in 4-of-7 games.
It’s always wise to be a tad leery when something seems too good to be true. Having said that, this is a very difficult spot to pass up on, especially in front of the home crowd.
Rickea Jackson 2+ Three-Pointers (+106)
Rickea Jackson continues to improve on an already masterful, yet underrated, maiden voyage into the WNBA. Not only has she cemented a full-time starting role, the rookie out of Tennessee is currently averaging the second-most minutes on the team.
As evidenced by the 2.4 point differential between the suggested point total for tonight and the season average, Jackson is making the most of the time court, averaging over 17 points in the last nine games.
Fortunately for us, the lines have not caught up to the recent production from beyond the arc. Jackson has knocked down 13 three-pointers on an incredible 66.2% shooting over the last three games, certainly a far cry from the 1.1 season average. If you’re feeling saucy, the line for 3+ is +350.
Enjoy the games today, as well as the long weekend, and good luck with your picks!
