WNBA Player Props and Best Bets: Our Top Six Plays for Game Three of the WNBA Finals

The Phoenix Mercury will try to climb back into the WNBA Finals with a win in Game Three against the Las Vegas Aces at home. After two losses in Sin City, the outlook is bleak. Perhaps coming home will give them the boost they need while also making betting on WNBA Player Props even more fun.

Will the superstars for each team show up tonight? That’s a good question. Let’s discuss some possible answers.

Phoenix Mercury Player Props

Alyssa Thomas, OVER 14.5 Points (-130) at Fanatics

The Aces were able to hold Thomas to just ten points in the Game Two loss, but now she is headed back home, where Thomas has averaged 19.5 points per game during the postseason. Vegas will likely defend her much like how they did in Game Two when they held her to just ten points.

But playing at home in a game that she knows her team needs to win will give Thomas the ‘umph’ she needs to hit a few more baskets (at least) and go OVER this TOTAL.

Kahleah Copper, OVER 17.5 Points (-130) at Fanatics

Copper went UNDER this TOTAL in the three games vs. New York in the first round. But in the semifinals against Minnesota and the first two games of the WNBA Finals, Copper has gone OVER this mark four times (in six games).

She averaged 14.1 points per game at home in the regular season and 15.5 in the postseason. With the added urgency and playing at home, I wouldn’t be surprised if we got another 20+ point night from Copper.

Satou Sabally, Over 1.5 Made Threes (-150) at Fanatics

• Kahleah Copper, OVER 1.5 Made Threes (-180) at Fanatics

The pricing is not great for either, but we can count on Sabally and Copper to continue shooting from three-point range.  With Vegas probably still trying to lock down the paint and push the Phoenix offense out to the perimeter (which Vegas has struggled to defend, the opportunities will be there.

They’ll each make at least two (like they did in Games One and Two).

Las Vegas Aces Player Props

A’ja Wilson, UNDER 39.5 Pts + Reb + Ast (-122) at FanDuel

Wilson easily went OVER this TOTAL in Game Two with 45 points, rebounds, and assists. She’s gone OVER in three of her last four games, but in only four of ten games in the postseason. Look for Phoenix to step up their defensive pressure on her in Game Two and hold her UNDER tonight.

Jackie Young, OVER 15.5 Points (-140) at Fanatics

Young has certainly stepped up her game in the postseason, scoring OVER this TOTAL in seven of ten games and in four of her last five. Wilson hasn’t been able to take over games like she often does, resulting in other players, such as Young, chipping in more frequently.

Phoenix knows it has to turn up the defensive pressure on Wilson tonight, which will likely result in more opportunities for Young. I wouldn’t bank on her scoring 30+ again, but she’ll go OVER this TOTAL.

Jewell Loyd, UNDER 8.5 Points (-110) at Fanatics

Loyd exploded in Game One for 18 but then came back down to Earth in Game 2 with just nine points.  She has averaged 8.5 points per game during the postseason but only 6.3 points per game on the road. Loyd will not take 18 shots, as she did in Game One, or even eight, as she did in Game Two.

During the postseason, she has taken a back seat on the road, averaging fewer than six shots a game and less than two baskets. She’ll return to this norm tonight. Take the UNDER.
