Top 5 WNBA Player Prop Bet Odds & Picks: Sunday (6/30)

We close out the weekend with three contests for today. Things gets started early in Brooklyn, at 1 p.m. EST,  with the Liberty taking on the Atlanta Dream.

To round out the day, a pair of games will kick-off at 3 p.m. EST. In one matchup, Minnesota will face the Chicago Sky in what should be a physical battle between two tough teams. The other will be a highly anticipated first meeting between the Indiana Fever and Phoenix Mercury.

Let’s not waste any more time, and jump right into some of our favorite selections for June 30. Here are our top WNBA prop bet picks for Sunday’s slate of games.

 Jonquel Jones Higher 1.5 Three-Pointers (-125)

Atlanta heads into Brooklyn to face a Liberty team that has recently taken the top spot in the standings. Jonquel Jones has been integral in the success of New York, and gets to match up with the Dream for the third time this season.
Jones has made three three-pointers in the two other contests combined. However, she has only totaled 25 points in those games. Which is why we are favoring the 1.5 three-pointers for today.
Atlanta has given up over eight three-pointers per game on 34.9% shooting. This average is more predicated on guards, yet the Atlanta Dream only have one option in the front court who can guard on the perimeter. Which should subsequently create a ton of open looks for Jones.
Before the last two contests, Jones knocked down at least two or more three-pointers in seven straight games. The New York forward is averaging 1.9 three-pointers made on 4.3 attempts for the season.

Kahleah Copper Higher 22.5 Points (-110)

Kahleah Copper has been one of the most prolific scoring options this season. She is currently averaging 22.7 points, with 2.4 three-pointers per game, while sinking 4.4-of-5.5 free throw attempts (all career highs).
Against the lower-ranked teams in regards to the standings, the Phoenix guard is averaging 25.8 points.
Unfortunately, Indiana hasn’t shown much resistance toward opposition scoring to date. The Fever allow the most points scored per game (87.9), own the third-highest opponent shooting percentage (45.2), and concede over 17 free throws per game.
Both teams play at a fast pace, which means we can expect a ton of points in this contest. Getting behind the top-scorer, who leads the league in usage, in what could be the highest-scoring game of the day, just feels right. Especially when you consider the Fever own the worst defensive rating in the WNBA.

Brittney Griner Higher 7.5 Rebounds (-130)

We stay within the same team for a line a little juicer than preferred, however, it seems like too good of a play to pass up on.
Brittney Griner is averaging just over the rebound total we need to clear today with 7.6. Although, this number doesn’t exactly tell the whole story. The Phoenix center has grabbed nine or more rebounds in 4-out-of-7 games. If you exclude one bad performance against New York, and the first game back where she only played 21 minutes, the rebound average is 8.8.
Phoenix and Indiana combine for 43% from the field, as well as 34% from beyond the arc. The Mercury grab 71% of defensive rebounds each contest, and 34.2 per game.
Griner clocks in at 6’9, and the tallest person on the Fever is Aliyah Boston at 6’5. There’s good reason to believe efficiency will take a back seat in this contest. Going with the size simply makes all too much sense.

Kayla McBride Higher 2.5 Three-Pointers (+130)

This total caused an immediate double-take at first glance. The league leader in three-pointers made is a +130 underdog to fall below a season average of 3.1. Something isn’t right here.
Albeit, Kayla McBride has only successfully hit three shots from beyond the arc in one game out of the last seven. Chicago is also only allowing 6.9 three-pointers per game, while Minnesota has over six players who can shoot from deep. That’s a lot of no, it’s totally understandable if this selection doesn’t appeal to everyone.
This simply comes down to a law of averages against an opponent who is very young and does not have many defensive options in regard to closing out on the perimeter. With Minnesota having a 20-point scorer on their team in Napheesa Collier, and such an abundance of shooting surrounding her, open shots are bound to be there.
McBride has successfully cleared 2.5 three-pointers in seven games this season. For the plus action, this is absolutely worth a sweat.

Napheesa Collier Higher 21.5 Points (-120)

As mentioned previously, Napheesa Collier has been a consistent source of production on the offensive end. The leading scorer for Minnesota is averaging just below the desired threshold with 21.4 points.
The matchup with an inexperienced Sky front-court makes this a very enticing play for today. Collier possesses a ton of athleticism compared to the players who will have to stop her on defense. The shooting range for the Minnesota forward stands out more than anything.
Angel Reese, and her teammate, Kamilla Cardoso, are more prone to defend the paint. Collier averages just under a three-pointer per game (0.9), and has also hit 32-of-69 total field goals made from 15-24 feet away on 44.25% shooting.
The six-year veteran also leads the league in points off turnovers with 5.4 per game. Chicago is allowing over 14.8 points off turnovers each contest while turning the ball over 14.3 times.
As of now, Collier has been labeled probable with a wrist injury that doesn’t seem to be anything too substantial at the moment. Make sure to check closer to tip-off in case of any changes.
Enjoy the games today, and good luck with your picks!
