Here are some of our favorite prop bets from tonight’s games.

Minnesota Lynx vs. New York Liberty

Sabrina Ionescu, UNDER 2.5 Made Threes at (-200) at FanDuel

• UNDER 17.5 Points at -118

The price on the OVER is tempting at +148, considering how the Lynx have been allowing teams to hit 36.2% of their three-point attempts in August (tenth-best in the league). However, Ionescu hit just two of seven attempts vs. the Lynx on Saturday and is averaging 1.7 per game vs. Minnesota.

Ionescu has hit three in one game in August (Aug. 13 vs. Las Vegas). She’s made three in one of her last eight games and two of her last ten.

As for her point TOTAL, she finished with 10 and 13 points in the last two games vs. Minnesota and has scored UNDER 17.5 points in five of her last six games (including the last two vs. the Lynx).

Connecticut Sun vs. Washington Mystics

Kiki Iriafen, OVER 9.5 Rebounds at (+114) at FanDuel

She is only averaging 8.5 per game this season and 8.9 per game this month, but has gone OVER this total in her last four games. Against the Sun, she has pulled down 14 and 5 in two games, but hasn’t faced them since June 8. Connecticut has been allowing teams to pull down 35+ rebounds in August.

It’s a little discouraging that she’s gone OVER this total just eight times in her last 15 games. But against a poor Sun team and with how she’s been playing, we like her chances of going OVER tonight.

Seattle Storm vs. Chicago Sky

Nneka Ogwumike, OVER 7.5 Rebounds at (-104) at FanDuel

If Seattle is going to break out of their current rut against a poor Chicago Sky team, they’ll need star players like Ogwumike to step up and get the job done. The Storm have been unpredictable regarding scoring, but Ogwumike has pulled down OVER 7.5 in her last five games.

Seattle has lost seven of their last eight and is dangerously close to falling out of the playoff field. Continuing her recent dominance on the boards will help her team get a much-needed win.

Atlanta Dream vs. Las Vegas Aces

Rhyne Howard, OVER 2.5 Made Threes at (-120) at FanDuel

Howard is averaging 9.3 attempts per game this season and making 2.9. Since returning from an injury, she’s made OVER 2.5 in two of four games and is taking 4-12 shots per game, going OVER this total when she takes at least eight attempts.

Vegas is middle of the pack when it comes to three-point defense (No. 6 in August at 33.8% allowed). Howard has attempted 8+ threes in 15 games this season, making 2.5+ in 13 of them. To keep up with A’ja Wilson and the Aces, the Dream will need Howard to take (and make) her shots.

Phoenix Mercury vs. Golden State Valkyries

Veronica Burton, OVER 10.5 Points at (-114) at FanDuel

Burton has gone OVER this total in her last three games and in four of her last five. In two games against the Mercury earlier in the season, she scored 16 and 17. Phoenix has played solid defense since the break (80.7 points per game allowed), but on the road, they’re giving up 85.3 points per game.

Golden State is a seven-point home underdog, but a solid game from Burton could go a long way towards an upset.
