WNBA Player Props and Best Bets: Brittney Griner, Paige Bueckers, Kayla Thornton and More

The WNBA wants to get your weekend started with a bang—a five-game slate starting at 7:30 p.m. EST and could feature the first meeting between Caitlin Clark (if she plays) and Paige Bueckers. So, it looks like it will be a great night for betting on WNBA Player Props.

Of course, with five games, we are talking about a few hundred possible player props for your betting pleasure. We’ve combed through the masses and identified the following as the ‘Best WNBA Player Props’ of the day.

Best WNBA Prop Bets for Friday, June 27

Brittney Griner, UNDER 120.5 Points

Brittney Griner, UNDER 5.5 Rebounds

SGP Odds: +144

Griner started the season with three games with 15+ points and 7+ rebounds inside the first four. She played 28, 31, 25, and 30 minutes in those games, but starting with the last game in May, she has averaged just 20.7 minutes, with less than 20 in five of nine games.

Consequently, her production has dipped to single-digit scoring and between 4 and 5 rebounds per game. It will certainly not be any easier to record stats for either against a team like Minnesota, regardless of whether Napheesa Collier plays.

Incidentally, her Pts + Reb combo prop has a total of 14.5 (-110/-120).

Paige Bueckers, UNDER 27.5 Pts + Reb + Ast

Bueckers is averaging 17.7/4.7/5.8 so far this season, which would be enough to go OVER the total, and is not far off her total for each individual prop. She would go OVER the total in six of the 12 games she’s played in to date, and three times in June (two of her last three).

However, opponents have averaged the fewest number of assists vs. Indiana (17/game), the third fewest rebounds (33.4/game), and 79.3 ppg (No. 6). I’m inclined to think the Fever will slow her down enough in two of the three categories to keep her UNDER the TOTAL.

Kayla Thornton, to Make 3+ Three-Pointers

I was leaning towards the OVER on her point total (14.5 at -120) since she had done so in six of her last seven games. But then I noticed where she was lacking vs. New York Wednesday when she scored 11, no free throws, and went 1-5 from three-point range.

Chicago has many faults, but they don’t foul a lot (17.8 per game, fourth-lowest). However, opponents make a league-best 39.9% of their shots from three-point range. Now, she has made 3+ in just one of her last four games. But she made 3+ in three of her last six.

If you want to take a more cautious approach, you can take OVER 1.5 at -174; she has made 2+ in six of her last seven.

n good for 10+ points per contest. She may not be ready to average 19.7 points per game like last season, but against a Washington defense allowing 83 ppg on the road, she’ll be good for 11.

Alyssa Thomas, OVER 13.5 Points

Alyssa Thomas, OVER 6.5 Rebounds

SGP Odds: +179

Thomas is averaging 14.2/7.7/8.9 so far this season, but has gone over both in the same game just four times. However, one of those times happened to be against the Liberty in New York last week. But then she followed it up with an 11/3 performance vs. Chicago.

However, with Jonquel Jones (she was injured early in the June 19 game vs. Phoenix) out of the lineup for New York, Thomas will be able to dominate the paint and the boards much like she did the first time these teams played.

Ezi Magbegor, OVER 13.5 Pts + Reb

Magbegor finished OVER this total in every game where she played less than 25 minutes. But the team may not need her for more than 20 minutes in this game. However, as bad as the Sun is, she should still go OVER this total even if she only plays 20 minutes.
