Saturday’s Best WNBA Picks
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
New York Liberty (-10) at Indiana Fever (+410) | O/U 173.5 (-110/-110)
Jonquel Jones returns to the board for “combo” action on DK today with a PRA line of 27.5, a number she crushed with a 35 (18/13/4) when these two teams last met on June 2. George Washington University’s finest is 8-2 against this number in the Liberty’s last ten games and is 14-7 against this number on the season. DK had stopped offering action on JJ’s PRA for a while and now brings it back at such a low-water line? Please, sir, I want some more.
Jones is averaging 16.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists for a 29.1 road PRA average. In her previous game in Indianapolis, Jones cashed against this number with a 28 (14/10/4) in just 29 minutes of a 102-66 laugher in each of these teams’ second game of the season. In a game against an opponent who has given up 102, 91, and 104 points (99 avg) to the Liberty, we will take the line and use DK’s 33% WNBA Boost to bring this return up to +120.
Sabs has gone over this number in eight of her last ten games and eight straight prior to her two most recent performances in a trap game against the Dream and then while playing with an illness, so we’ll call it eight Overs, one Under, and one Under the Weather in her last 10. During that eight-game streak, Ionescu averaged 22.6 points, 8.25 assists, and 5.0 rebounds for a 35.85 PRA average.
Ionescu averages 29.6 PRA on the season. In nine road games this season, Ionescu is averaging 17.8 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.0 rebounds for a 29.1 road PRA average. Ionescu is 8-4 against this PRA number in her last 12 games overall. That number improves to 8-2 against teams other than the Dream.
Thanks to back-to-back Unders cashing, this 29.5 number is back to offering a better return so take advantage while you can.
Fever opponents are averaging 87.7 points per game and Indiana only recently rose from the cellar. They remain 2nd worst in the WNBA, trailing only the Dallas Wings (88.9). The Fever’s defense remains a matador unit regardless of their ranking rising to 11th rather than 12. Trust a playmaker like Ionescu to deliver after back-to-back Unders and expect JJ to do what JJ does and double-double her way to cash here.
WNBA Picks: Jonquel Jones Over 27.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists (-110 Boosted to +120 on DK), Sabrina Ionescu Over 29.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists (-120)
