NBA Bet #1: John Collins O 19.5 PRA: .6u -125 (DK)

the job’s not ???????? #TakeNote | @jcollins20_ pic.twitter.com/mL4enRYY8M

— Utah Jazz (@utahjazz) January 9, 2024

Season Stats PPG: 14 | FG: 49.3 % | 3 PT: 37.3 % | FT: 76.5 % | REB: 7.7 | AST: 0.9 | STL: 0.6 | BLK: 0.8

If there's a player I've never bet on, it's John Collins. Now in his first season with the Utah Jazz, Collins always seems to be at the center of trade rumors. With less than a month before the deadline, he remains a starter for Utah.

If you break down Collins stats, he's been one of the more consistent players when it comes to a combined points, rebounds, and assists per game. While he's only averaging 0.9 dimes on the year, he's hit over 19.5 PRAs 75 percent this season.

A prop that's hit in five straight games, Collins hit over this prop 70 percent of the last ten games, and 100 percent of the last five. Averaging 14 points, 7.7 rebounds this season, Utah has been primarily starting Collins at the five. Coming off two consecutive 19 point performances against Milwaukee and Philadelphia is impressive. In his last five games, Collins is averaging 5.6 rebounds, 16.5 points, and 1.8 assists. I'm comfortable with this prop based off his point averages alone.

John Collins has been consistent

A starter in 32 of 34 games played this season, No. 20 averages 28.4 minutes of playing time, and will get a tough defensive matchup against the Nuggets tonight.

Collins added 15 points, one assist, and nine rebounds in one matchup against the Nuggets this season.

Coming off one days rest, his prop stats are stellar, hitting the over in 8 of the last 10 games, and 25 of the last 30. Now in his seventh NBA season, Collins has improved his three-point shooting drastically, averaging 37.3 percent from downtown. His best three-point shooting percentage since the 2020-2021 season, Collins is grabbing close to 8 rebounds, which is significantly higher than his previous season with the Atlanta Hawks.

Compiling a combined 25 PRAs against Denver on Oct. 30, the former Hawk faces a Denver defense thats allowed Mortiz Wager, Kevon Looney, Nick Richards, Chet Holmgren, James Wiseman, Paolo Banchero, Dario Saric, and Jonatham Kuminga to all hit over their props.

While Denver ranks 4th against his position, Collins hits this prop 100 percent of the time when he plays 34 minutes or more. I'm grabbing the prop while he's hot, and elevated off rest.

NBA Bet #2: Simone Fontecchio O .5 steals : .6u -190 (DK)

it's a bird,
it's a plane,
it's SIMONEFONTECCHIO pic.twitter.com/KQaZyCYh3V

— Utah Jazz (@utahjazz) January 9, 2024

Season Stats PPG: 9.1 | FG: 45.3 % | 3 PT: 39.3 % | FT: 77.1 % | REB: 3.8 | AST: 1.3 | STL: 0.7 | BLK: 0.4

Most recent, Utah Jazz Head Coach Will Hardy has praised Simone Fontecchio for his recent hustle and hard work. Becoming a frequent starter in his second season with Utah, look for Fontecchio to have one steal tonight versus the Denver Nuggets.

Not one of the more popular props, Simone Fontecchio has a steal in seven straight games, and 100 percent in the last five. A 69 percent hit rate this season, Fontecchio hit this prop in 90 percent of the last ten games. While his three-point prop his trending, I'm going for the defense tonight.

Averaging 1.2 steals in the last ten games, the Jazz swingman has proven he can be a rotation player and starter in the NBA. Known for his big buckets behind the three point line, he's facing a Denver team, who only turns the ball over 12.5 times per game.

Why I like this to hit tonight

With Denver's starting unit back, they've recently allowed Bojan Bogdanovic, Miles Bridges, Luguentz Dort, Jalen Williams to all have at least one steal. In addition, they've allowed seven out of the last eight guards to record one steal in their recent matchups.

A prop that has a 62 percent hit rate when playing at least 25 minutes, Fontecchio is averaging 30.6 minutes played in the month of January. Coming off 32 minutes against the Milwaukee Bucks, the forward has at least one steal this month against the Bucks, 76ers, Celtics, Pistons, and Mavericks. Quite impressive, four of those teams are above .500 and don't turn the ball over often.

The Italian product is a versatile defender, who will challenge the Nuggets tonight. Even with Jordan Clarkson active, Fontecchio has been able to contribute on this team. While his offense has slightly declined, he has a total of 24 steals in 36 games played this season.

While the Jazz rank in the lower half in steals per game (8.7), Fontecchio will likely be matched up with Michael Porter Jr., who's averaging one turnover per game this season. Both Jamal Murray and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope average a combined 2.9 turnovers per game.

If you're betting on the NBA tonight, I'm hot on this defensive prop tonight.

NBA Bet #3: Victor Wembanyama O 2.5 blocks: .6u -190 (DK)

Season Stats?PPG:?19.3 |?FG:?44.9 %?| 3 PT:?29.5 %?| FT:?79.6 %?| REB:?10.1?| AST: 2.8?| STL:?1.2?| BLK:?3.3

Spurs sensation Victor Wembanyama is surely making his case for this year's Most Valuable Player, alongside Thunder's Chet Holmgren. Averaging a double-double--19.3 points and 10.1 rebounds this season, the center has 3.3 blocks per game on average. While he is listed at 7 foot 4, several players stated he's closer to 7 foot 5.

He's a defensive juggernaut

Putting up historic stats as a Rookie, Wembanyama stiffling defense has been showcased all season long. Breaking records left and right, he's recorded 10 games with 20+ points and 4+ blocks. With all these accomplishments, I love this prop.

Tonight, is the the battle of two of the worst teams in the league, the San Antonio Spurs and the Detroit Pistons. While both have a combined eight wins on the season, Wembanyama leads the NBA in blocks, next to Bucks Brook Lopez.

Three straight games with over 2.5 blocks, Wemby has a combined 14 blocks in those last three matchups. A hit rate of 80 percent in the last five games, the Spurs center has at least 2.5 blocks in 12 of the last 15 games. If you're betting on the NBA, these are great stats, especially for his matchup this evening.

Both teams are without players due to injury. For the Spurs, center Zach Collins is listed as out for tonight. The Detroit Pistons will be without star guard Cade Cunningham, along with big man Isaiah Stewart. Even with this injury list, Wembanyama hit this prop 100 % in three games without these players.

This evening, the rookie will get his first matchup with Detroit. While the Pistons have big man Jalen Duren, they rank 27th in opponent blocks per game (6.2), and 30th in steals (8.2). While I took him for 2.5 blocks, I would be comfortable taking steals and blocks.

Why I love this prop

While Detroit is ranked 16th against centers, Wembanyama hit this prop 58 percent this season, and in 100 % of the last five road games. After injuring his ankle in late December, Spurs Head Coach Greg Popovich has been careful handling Wembanyama's injur. Rested in back-to-backs in late December, Wemby is coming of plenty of rest tonight.

Off two days rest, the French Native has performed very well. Known for his defensive prowess, this prop has a 75 percent hit rate off certain days rest. The center last had five blocks against the Cleveland Cavaliers off two days rest.

An elite matchup with the Pistons, they've allowed Nikola Jokic, Walker Kessler, Jakob Poeltl, Nic Claxton, and Day'Ron Sharpe to all have over 2.5 blocks. Most recently, No. 1 has performed extremely well against teams who are in the bottom tier against blocks. This season, he had seven against Portland, five against Utah, and 12 combined in two matchups against Memphis.

Despite minute restrictions mentioned above, this is a strong prop for tonight. Averaging 25.7 minutes and 4.7 blocks per game in January, this prop and the line is too good to pass over.

NBA Game Props for 1/10

San Antonio Spurs Money Line: .6u -156 (DK)

Tonight is the battle of the two worst teams in the NBA. The Spurs (5-30, 3-15 away) will matchup with the Detroit Pistons (3-34, 2-15 away) on the road tonight.

7-3 against Detroit in their last ten meetings, the Spurs are coming five straight losses. 1-9 in their last ten games, they are due tonight. Similarly, the Pistons endured five straight losses, and have just one win in the last ten games. They are coming off back-to-back games, where San Antonio hasn't played a game since Jan. 7.

After blowing a 20 point lead last night, I simply don't believe in the Detroit Pistons. Their biggest accomplishment this season, has been snapping their historic 28 game losing streak.

While I like Spurs money line, I like them to cover the -3.5 spread as well, and I am surprised that number isn't higher. The Pistons will be without their star Cade Cunningham tonight. Look for the Spurs to get back on the board tonight.

Sacramento Kings -6.5: -6u -135 (DK)

The Sacramento Kings (22-14, 9-7 away) will matchup against the Charlotte Hornets (8-26, 4-12 home) on the road tonight.

8-2 in their last ten meetings against the Kings, the Hornets have P.J. Washington on the injury report. With a 1-9 win/loss record in the last two games, the Hornets are already without LaMelo Ball, Gordon Hayward, and Mark Williams.

In their last matchup, the Hornets declared a 111-104 victory over the Kings, and they did so on the road. While they was a great win, I do believe Sacramento will cover the points tonight.

Now at -8 on Draft Kings, I grabbed the original line with Sacramento favored by -6.5. This is the second stop of their five game road trip this week.

6-4 in their last ten games, the Kings are coming off a second half back-to-back, including a win over the Pistons Tuesday night. While back-to-back games can be hard to bet on

Look for a revenge game tonight for Sacramento. Overall, the Kings are 19-17-0 against the spread this season, and the Hornets, 14-20-0. With only eight wins on the season for Charlotte, four of them came at home (4-12).

Other Picks

Chicago Bulls Money Line: -6u -170 (DK)

Minnesota Timberwolves +9: .6u -112 (DK):

Sara Jane's favorite bets

Bet #1: Toronto Raptors +6 vs. Celtics

The Boston Celtics (24-6, 15-0 home) will host the Toronto Raptors (12-18, 4-9 away) at home tonight. The only undefeated team at home, the Celtics are coming off a thrilling 128-122 overtime victory against the Pistons. While Boston has a 3-1 win/loss record coming off back-to-back games, I chose to stay clear of the money line tonight.

Tonight, Boston are the clear cut favorites, with a 65.8 percent chance to win, according to ESPN Analytics. However, there is much uncertainty in the lineup, with Jrue Holiday, Jaylen Brown, and Jayson Tatum all listed as questionable. Even worse, Boston will be without Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, as Horford doesn't play in back-to backs.

While the Raptors are fairly healthy, they are 14-16-0 against the spread, in which they have a 4-9 win/loss record on the road. 3-7 in their last ten games, they recently covered the favored -6.5 spread against the Wizards. Other than that, they haven't been able to cover any spread since Dec. 18 versus the Charlotte Hornets. Only 2-3 in their last five matchups, Toronto had some tough looks against Philadelphia and Denver. Respectively, they lost to the 76ers by ten points, and the Nuggets, nine points.

— Toronto Raptors (@Raptors) December 28, 2023

Overall, the Celtics own the Raptors, standing at 8-2 against them in the last ten meetings. Their first matchup, Boston smoked Toronto, 117-94 at home, which I was in attendance. Their second matchup, the Raptors kept the game within three points at home. It's important to note, the Celtics starting five was fully healthy for that game.

For the Celtics, they are 9-1 in their last ten games, including four consecutive wins. However, they barely snuck out a win versus the Pistons, and are banged up. 15-13-2 against the spread, the Celtics ironically average the most points off zero days rest, at 126.8. Boston has already faced several tests with various players out of the lineup. With Horford and Porzingis out tonight, Lamar Stevens will get the test at Center. If there are more injuries, I wouldn't be as reluctant to take Toronto money line.

Offensively, these two teams aren't on the same wavelength when healthy. Unable to generate adequate offense, the Raptors rank 18th in offensive efficiency( 113.5), where the Celtics rank 4th overall (120.5). While Toronto started off as one of the best defensive teams, they rank 14th in defensive efficiency, whereas Boston ranks near the top.

Coming off a 132-102 victory over the Washington Wizards isn't certainly a statement, but the Raptors do hold the momentum. After avoiding an embarassing loss yesterday, the Raptors should be able to take advantage of the Celtics grueling schedule, along with their injury ailments.

Head coach Darko Rajakovic has played around with the starting five, taking Dennis Schroder out for Gary Trent Jr. It's important to note, Siakam, Anunoby, and Barnes are all coming over 20+ point games.

Given the Raptors aren't terrible defensively, I expect them to hang around with the Celtics tonight. I would be genuinely surprised if both Tatum, Brown, and Holiday all decided to suite up. Look for Toronto to capitalize tonight.

Bet #2: Trae Young 10+ Assists vs. Kings

If there's a player prop I love tonight, It's Trae Young to have over 10 assists. Averaging 28.1 points and 11.3 assists per game, Young gets the Sacramento Kings who allowed the 23rd most assists (27.2) in the NBA. Coming off four straight games with 13 plus, is there any team that can stop Young from dishing out dimes as of right now?

10 + assists is a prop that's hit 67 percent this season, and in eight straight games. If you're betting on the NBA, the Hawks play at home, where Young is coming off a 15 and 13 total assist night against the Detroit Pistons, and the Memphis Grizzlies. While i've made the mistake of taking under Young assists, it's hard to fade a player who's averaging 40 minutes in the last three games, and hasn't dished out less than ten assists since Dec. 11 against the Nuggets.

Trae dimes up Bogi pic.twitter.com/7opWnQRfYx

— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) December 27, 2023

The return of Jalen Johnson has been a huge impact on the Hawks offensively. Sharing the backcourt with Dejounte Murray, Young has the option of hitting Bey and Bogdanovich, who's been a proven sniper from downtown. Although DeAndre Hunter is out for tonights matchup, the Kings have recently allowed Scoot Henderson, and Jrue Holiday to hit 10+ assists.

Surprisingly, the Hawks have the 5th best offensive in the league, even though they stand at 12-18. While they rank middle of the road in assists, it's the defense that's been an issue. Currently, Young leads the Hawks in points scored and assists. In his first meeting with Sacramento this season, he last had seven and six assists against the Kings 2022, and early 2023.

Yes the Hawks are struggling, however, Young has clearly proved his value, especially since the team functions significantly better when he's on the court. Putting up historic numbers, it's hard to fade this prop, as I will continue to ride the hot hand. Plus, the Kings are a mess defensively. Since his prop line is lower than his season average, I'm taking Young to have a big night tonight.

Bet #3: Bradley Beal 12.5+ Points vs. Hornets

It's no secret the Phoenix Suns are struggling, and that's been primarily due to Bradley Beals injury history. A team that's built to "win now" with Booker, Beal, and Durant, look for Beal to make an immediate impact tonight against the Hornets. Normally, I don't bet on player props, especially coming back from injury. However, Phoenix has a prime matchup with Charlotte, and with growing frustrations in the Valley, they will need him to step up tonight.

12.5 points is a low total, especially for Beal who's used to being the main scorer. Although a small sample size, Beal hit the over in five of the six matchups he's played this season. A 86 percent hit rate during the 2022/2023 season, over 12.5 points has hit in 11 of his last 15 games.

Tonight, the Suns will face the Hornets who allow the 26th most points in the NBA (121). Even worse, they rank near last in several statistical categories, including rebound, assists, opponent three-point percentage, and field goal percentage. With LaMelo Ball out with injury, the Hornets will also be without Gordon Hayward tonight. On the road, that primarily leaves Brandon Miller or Terry Rozier with the task of guarding Beal.

INJURY UPDATE: Bradley Beal is available for tonight's game. pic.twitter.com/A1x3HQ86nT

— Phoenix Suns (@Suns) December 29, 2023

In his last three outings against Charlotte, the newly acquired guard scored 26, 33, and 17 points, all back last season, and as a member of the Washington Wizards. Yes, he'll have to share the scoring with Durant and Booker. However, with several minimum player signed, Beal should take the starting place of Grayson Allen or Eric Gordon. Other than that, Phoenix ranks 26th in bench points with 29.4 per game.

While it's unclear if he will be on a minute restriction, Charlotte most recently allowed Bennedict Mathurin, Gary Trent Jr. Duncan Robinson, Coby White, and Cam Thomas to all score over 12.5 points. While Beal was hurt against the Knicks on Dec.15, he did score six points in five minutes.

7-9 at home, the Suns will look to bounce back in front of their home fans at FootPrint Center. In five games at home, Beal hit over this prop in four of five games, including 24 points against the Los Angeles Lakers.

In six regular season matchups, the guard is averaging 14.7 points, on 42.9 percent three-point and 44.9 field goal shooting. After going through a tough 3-9 stretch, the Suns are coming off an impressive 129-113 victory over the Rockets. Although the big three have only played 25 minutes together this season, I'm all on the Beal train tonight versus a weak defense riddled with injuries.

Bet #4: Oklahoma City Thunder +1.5 vs. Nuggets

Slightly a risky play tonight, I love the Oklahoma City Thunder to cover the spread tonight against the Denver Nuggets. 20-9 on the season, the Thunder are 8-4 on the road, while the Nuggets are 13-2 at home. Two of the best teams in the west, Oklahoma City currently stands a game behind Denver for the No. 3 seed. With such a young, talented core, the Thunder lead the Western Conference with a +7.7 point differential, and rank 6th in offensive rating (118.8).

Don't be alarmed, the Thunder are the real deal. With Chet Holmgren favored to win Rookie of the Year, the team plays at a fast pace, and like the Nuggets, are at the top in terms of assists/turnover ratio. Defensively, they rank 6th in defensive rating, holding opponents to 113.6 points per game. Offensively, both the Thunder and Nuggets averaging near the same three-point percentage, and Oklahoma City ranks third overall in field goal percentage (49.7).

The Thunder are the most-bet ATS team by handle for tonight's NBA slate.

OKC is currently +2.5 for tonight's matchup against the Nuggets in Denver pic.twitter.com/9QLivxinov

— DraftKings Sportsbook (@DKSportsbook) December 29, 2023

To me, these teams are fairly comparable on paper, except the fact Denver has NBA Championship experience. Riding a six game win streak, the Nuggets are coming off a 37 point win against the Memphis Grizzlies, and will have a back-to-back game tonight. Much like the Boston Celtics, the Denver Nuggets have a 5-1 record when coming off zero days rest, and Nikola Jokic is coming off a triple double against Memphis.

While Denver is playing incredible, so are the Thunder. 20-9 against the spread, the Thunder are 7-3 in their last ten games. What's more impressive, this team had hard fought victories over the Knicks, Timberwolves, Clippers, and Warriors. In their last matchup, the Thunder covered the +5.5 spread, the defeated the Nuggets 118-117.

It's worth a shot to sprinkle a little bit on the Thunder, who are clearly winning games versus teams over .500, and already beat the Nuggets once. They are a better shooting team and can absolutely hang in there defensively. They are 5-1 against the spread in their last six games. If you're betting on the NBA, I would ever pick Thunder money line as a straight bet.

Jordin Canada 15 + points (-120)

20-piece from JC.

20 PTS | 3 REB | 3 AST | 3 STL pic.twitter.com/c9XihlvyOF

— Los Angeles Sparks (@LASparks) August 19, 2023

PPG:?13.8?| FG:?40.9 %?| 3 PT:?33.3 %?| FT:?89.1 %?| REB:?3.4?|AST:?6?|STL:?2?| BLK:?0.2

California native, Jordin Canada is having a career year in her first stint with the Los Angeles Sparks. Through 29 games, the Sparks star is averaging a high of 13.8 points per game, 32.8 minutes, 3.4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals. In fact, the former UCLA guard had back-to-back 20-point games and, hit over 15 plus points in four of the six games this month. Furthermore, Canada has four straight games with points in double digits, which includes wins over Atlanta and Las Vegas.

Both Canada and Clarendon have been a dominant force for the Sparks backcourt. Moreover, Canada has 19 steals in the past six games, and is averaging 36.8 minutes, nearly 12 field goal attempts per game. In addition, the Sparks guard is averaging over 16 points in the last four games.

Why Jordin Canada can score over 15 points

Overall, Phoenix leads the league in the most turnovers per game (15.3), in which the Sparks force opponents to swing the ball over 14.4 times per game. Additionally, the Sparks play at a faster pace, whereas the Mercury rank last. Also, Los Angeles currently ranks third in the league in percentage of points off turnovers. The Mercury rank last in the league in rebounding, which will not help their case tonight. Without Griner, look for fast break opportunities, turnovers, and a substantial amount of inside scoring by Jordin Canada. It's important to note that Canada is shooting 89 percent from the line, and shot 10 plus free-throws in the past four games.

If you're looking to bet on Jordin Canada over points, she hit this prop 70 percent in the last ten games, and 60 percent in the last five. With the amount of volume shots and high minutes played, I expect Canada to lead the backcourt tonight.

Layshia Clarendon 13+ PTS & AST (-225)

Layshia was relentless on the court today.

22 PTS | 5 REB | 5 AST pic.twitter.com/TT6pkPkwXO

— Los Angeles Sparks (@LASparks) August 19, 2023

PPG:?9.5?| FG:?47.1%?| 3 PT:?48.3 %?| FT:?90 %?| REB:?3?|AST:?3.4?|STL: 0.9?| BLK:?0

On June 9th, the Los Angeles Sparks announced guard Layshia Clarendon would miss 4-6 weeks, due to a partial tear of the plantar fascia. Before the injury, Clarendon would only play five games with the team, in which the guard averaged nine points and assists. Out more than a month, the Los Angeles Sparks went 3-10 the next 13 games, and found themselves in the basement of the Western Conference.

Upon the Guards return on July 20th, Clarendon has led the Sparks to a 6-5 record, in which Los Angeles finds themselves fighting for the 8th seed. It's evident that Layshia Clarendon brought something back to the starting lineup, which is consistency and persistence. Los Angeles Sparks Head Coach, Curt Miller spoke to reporters on the importance of Clarendon in the lineup, and what it means to the team. "I just can't emphasize enough, how Layshia changes our toughness, and our physicality," Miller told the press. "When you look at the 14 games that she missed, compared to what our record looks like with Layshia Clarendon in the lineup, she oozes a toughness for us, and people feed off that." (LA Sparks)

Why this prop can hit

Coach Miller couldn't be more right about one of the most impactful players on this roster. We've seen Clarendon be a force on both ends of the court, constantly chasing for the ball, and trapping opposing players. For a player that plays strong, Clarendon has three straight games with points in double figures. That includes a recent 22-point game and 5 assists against Las Vegas. In addition, the Sparks guard hit over 13 points and assists in four of six games this month.

Although Clarendon didn't hit over this prop in three games against the Mercury, they will be without stars Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner. Given these two teams haven't matched up since July, we have to look at the recent play of Layshia and the rest of the team. In fact, Given No. 25 has 15 assists in three games, look for her to shine against the injury depleted team, that allow 19 assists per game.

Player Prop Picks of the day

Erica Wheeler O 9.5 Points (-136)

Erica Wheeler notched a double-digit performance along with surpassing 1,000 career assists tonight.

12 PTS | 6 REB | 3 AST | 1 STL pic.twitter.com/MjpE3UFxTQ

— Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) August 19, 2023

PPG:?10.4 | FG:?41.9 %?| 3 PT:?32.1%?| FT:?86.2 %?| REB:?2.9 |AST:?5?|STL:?0.9?| BLK:?0.1

Fever guard, Erica Wheeler is averaging nearly 13 points per game in the month of August and shooting 55 percent from the three-point in the last three matchups. Wheeler has played consistent basketball, next to Rookie Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, and Nalyssa Smith. If you're betting on the WNBA, the Fever guard hit over 9.5 points in three straight games, and in 85 percent of games this month. For the month of July, Wheeler hit this prop in five straight games, and in 50 percent of the games. Additionally, Wheeler 9.5 points and over hit 60 percent of the games, and 80 percent in the last five, and ten games.

Overall, the Phoenix Mercury and the Indiana Fever both stand in the bottom of the rankings. With the two teams under ten wins, Phoenix is 3-7 in their last ten games, and the Fever, 2-8. Phoenix ranks 10th in defensive rating (107.1), and Indiana ranks 7th overall in offensive rating. With the series split 1-1, Erica Wheeler is averaging 10.5 points, and shooting 52 percent from downtown in two games against Phoenix. If you're betting on the WNBA, it's important to know Erica Wheeler hit this prop in both games against the Mercury, and will matchup against a team who allows opposing teams to shoot nearly 35 precent from the three. After being undrafted, Erica Wheeler is back in her second stint with Indiana, and has become more consistent with this young core.

Aliyah Boston O 8.5 REB (-125)

last night Aliyah Boston passed Tamika Catchings for first all-time in franchise history in field goals made by a rookie.@AnthemBCBS | #INforRed pic.twitter.com/uDi1r078pP

— Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) August 19, 2023

PPG:?14.9?| FG:?59.7 %?| 3 PT:?66.7 %?| FT:?76 %?|REB:?8.3?|AST: 2.3 |STL:?1.3?|BLK:?1.3

Forward Aliyah Boston, out of South Carolina, is having a praiseworthy rookie season. After starting as a rookie in this year's All-Star game, Boston is dominating her inaugural season. In fact, Boston (Fever). "

Bound to break a number of records, Boston snagged over 8.5 rebounds in three of the last five games. In particular, the Fever forward has four double-doubles in the month of August, and is coming off a 16-point, 10 rebound game against the Washington Mystics. Out of the seven games in August, Boston hit over 8.5 rebounds in six games, and twice against Phoenix.

In two games against the Mercury, Aliyah Boston is averaging 10 rebounds. In addition, Indiana ranks first in the league in opponent rebounds per game (31.9), and the Mercury will be without star Brittney Griner tonight. As a whole, Phoenix ranks last in the league in rebounds per game (30.9), whereas Indiana ranks 6th (34.4). If you're betting on the WNBA, the stellar recent play of Boston, along with the matchup, should be two confident reasons why this prop will hit.

Napheesa Collier O 21.5 PTS (-115)

Queen Phee at the half

17 PTS | 5 REB | 3 AST | 5-8 FG pic.twitter.com/TEywYTMvSq

— Minnesota Lynx (@minnesotalynx) August 19, 2023

PPG:?21.5 | FG: 47.8 %?| 3 PT:?30.3 %?| FT:?83.8 %?|REB:?7.9?|AST:?2.5 |STL:?1.5?|BLK:?1

After only playing 4 games in 2022, and sitting out a few games with injury this season, Napheesa Collier is back. Coming off a 24-point performance against Seattle, Collier hit over 21.5 points in 60 percent of the last five games. In addition, the fellow Connecticut Husky scored over 21.5 points in 50 percent of the games this month, and four games in July. In fact, three of her best games came against the Seattle Storm. Collier is averaging 29.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, and is shooting 50 percent from the field in all of her matchups against the Storm, including 19 field goal attempts per game, in 37.6 minutes. Furthermore, Napheesa made the go ahead shot in overtime, where the Lynx beat the Storm 99-97, on June 29th.

If you're betting on the WNBA, I would feel confident about this prop. Although Seattle ranks 6th in opponent points per game (83.3), they are missing frontcourt depth the absence of Gabby Williams. Look for Collier to continue to have another dominant game, after a 78-70 win over Seattle on Friday

Today, is the final regular season matchup between the Los Angeles Sparks (12-18, 4-10 Away) and the Las Vegas Aces (28-3, 16-0 Home). In this article, I will break down the WNBA prop bet odds, stats, trends, and predictions. The game will begin at 3 PM EST, at Michelob ULTRA Arena, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you're looking to watch and bet on the game, it will air on ABC. ?If you are looking for the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is information to know.

PPG:?21.2?| FG:?53.7 %?| 3 PT:?21.7 %?| FT:?79.3 %?|REB:?9.6?|AST:?1.9?|STL:?1.4?|BLK:?2.1

Both the Sparks and the Aces are playing extremely well, and I expect A'ja Wilson to dominate, as she continues to be involved in the WNBA MVP conversation. In the Aces 88-75 win over the New York Liberty, Wilson had 21 points, 8 rebounds, and shot 54 percent from the field. In addition, Wilson achieved 3500 career points, in which she is the y. (Las Vegas Aces).

If you're betting on the Sparks vs. Aces game, Las Vegas has scored nearly 100 points in all three contests. In fact, Vegas is averaging 94.6 points against the Sparks, and Wilson outscored Los Angeles herself in the last matchup. On July 12th, A'ja finished with 25 points, on 9-14 field goal shooting.

Chelsea Gray O 6.5 AST (-135)

We call her THA #POINTGAWDDDDD for a reason @cgray209 has set a new franchise record for assists in a single season #ALLINLV pic.twitter.com/RFxTbSnQ7N

— Las Vegas Aces (@LVAces) August 18, 2023

PPG:?15.2?| FG:?50 %?| 3 PT: 44.8 %?| FT:?91.9 %?|REB:?3.7 |AST:?7 |STL:?1.5?|BLK:?0.6?

Aces guard, Chelsea Gray became the first player in Aces franchise history to ever finish a game with a triple double. In a win against the New York Liberty on Thursday, Gray finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. Furthermore, the Las Vegas guard made more history following Thursday's game. Chelsey Gray is the only player in Las Vegas Aces history to record 218 assists, which is a franchise record for assists.

Gray is averaging over 6.5 assists a game, and this prop has hit 60 percent of the time in the last ten games. The Aces core, led by Head Coach Becky Hammon, includes A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young. Although Las Vegas doesn't nearly have as much depth has other teams, Gray earned the nickname, Whether it's back door cuts, or beyond the perimeter, it's undeniable Chelsea Gray has tremendous IQ and vision on the court.

Although Chelsea Gray is shooting lights out from the three this season (44 percent), she's known for her driving capability to the basket. With Ogwumike and Stevens possibly clogging the paint, it's very possible Gray continues to feed the hot hand. It's important to note, A'ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young all had points in double figures last game against the Sparks. I expect Chelsea Gray to stay hot, coming off a historical night.

In my last article, I discussed the WNBA straight bet odds, stats, and predictions for Sunday, July 30th. There are six WNBA games on the slate today, and this article will cover player prop odds, stats, predictions, and analysis. All games will air on either ESPN, ESPN3, or CBSNN. If you are looking for the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is some information to know.

Jonquel Jones OVER 7.5 REB (-120)

PPG: 11.8 | FG: 55.6 % | 3 PT: 41.4 % | FT: 86.4 % |REB: 7.6 |AST: 1.5 |STL: 0.5 |BLK: 1.3

Turnaround JJ @jus242 pic.twitter.com/3FV3NGQArS

— New York Liberty (@nyliberty) July 27, 2023

Liberty Foward, Jonquel Jones, is coming off her fifth straight game with rebounds in double figures. Prior to the previous matchup against Minnesota, Jones had four straight double-doubles, in points and rebounds. In the last five games, Jonquel has 11 rebounds against Minnesota, 13 versus Atlanta, 17 against Seattle, 11 versus Indiana, and 11 rebounds on the road against Washington.

At 6 foot 6, the Liberty rank second in the league in rebounds (37.7) and face a Los Angeles Sparks team that is near last in rebounds. (31.9). The Sparks allow opponents to grab 35.5 boards per game (9th), and the Liberty allow opponents to rebound 34.2 times per game (4th). Jonquel Jones hit this prop in six straight games, and I expect her to do it tonight. The biggest threat to Jones will be Sparks forward, Nneka Ogwumike, who is averaging 9.3 rebounds per game. I want to say Nneka Ogwumike over points as well.

Jewell Loyd OVER 22.5 Points (-125)

PPG: 24.2 | FG: 38.2 % | 3 PT: 39.1 % | FT: 87 % |REB: 4.6 | AST: 3.5 |STL: 1.1 |BLK: 0.5 

Gold Mamba strikes pic.twitter.com/DV95vMWIYS

— Seattle Storm (@seattlestorm) July 29, 2023

Seattle Storm Guard, Jewell Loyd is an MVP Candidate this season. The Storm will face off against the Indiana Fever, who rank last in points allowed (85.7). The Fever allow opponents to shoot 36.3 from the three-point, and permit teams to make 8.2 three-pointers a game. On average, opponents attempt 22.6 three-pointers against the Fever.

Jewell Loyd is coming off a 15-point performance against the Chicago Sky. In her only matchup against Indiana, the Seattle Guard scored 19 points on (5-21) and played 27 minutes. Loyd was 2-7 from the three-point and made all seven of her free-throws.

Seattle is coming off an 83-74 win against Chicago, following a ten-game skid. Loyd hit over 22.5 points in four games in July, and six times in June. Loyd is averaging 15.4 field goal attempts, 30.1 minutes, and 9.3 three-point shot attempts in the last ten games. She had a high volume of shots against Indiana last matchup (5-21), in which Loyd was held to 24 percent field goal percentage. With Loyd shooting nearly 40 percent from downtown, I expect her to show out tonight versus an Indiana team who doesn't defend the perimeter well.

Chelsea Gray OVER 13.5 Points (-125)

PPG: 14.6 | FG: 49.8 % | 3 PT: 43.5 % | FT: 91.4 % |REB: 3.6 |AST: 6.9 |STL: 1.5 |BLK: 0.6

— Las Vegas Aces (@LVAces) July 26, 2023

The Las Vegas Aces are chasing WNBA history, and face a Dallas Wings team, who are a solid defensive team. Dallas holds opponents to 32.7 three-point percentage. Aces Guard, Chelea Gray scored over 13.5 points in both matchups against Dallas, which includes a 14 and 20-point performance. The Aces rank 1st in net rating and offense and are often hard to guard on the weak and strong side of the ball. In two games against the Wings, Gray averaged 16 points, 36 minutes, 14.5 field goal attempts, and 5 three-point attempts. Gray is an elite guard, shooting over 43 percent from downtown. With the high-volume shots and minutes, I like Gray over 13.5 points.

In case you missed my last article, I broke down the betting trends, odds, and stats for straight bets today. There are three games on the WNBA slate today and I will discuss the best player prop plays and odds. If you're planning to bet on today's games, all three will be televised on ION. The WNBA League pass is available to viewers who wish to catch all of the WNBA games. If you are looking for the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is some information to know.

Jonquel Jones OVER 7.5 Rebounds (-140)

New York Liberty Forward, Jonquel Jones is playing basketball on another level. Jones, 29, has four straight double doubles, against Atlanta, Seattle, Indiana, and Washington. Her stat line against the Dream last night, 24 minutes, 19 points, and 13 rebounds. In the last four games, Jones is averaging 13 rebounds a game, and had a season high (17), against Seattle, on Tuesday.

The former MVP is averaging 7.4 rebounds in 23 games played this season. Jones hit over 7.5 rebounds in 5 total games in July, and 6 in June. In the last ten games, Jones is averaging 8.4 rebounds a game, and 22.7 Points + Rebounds. Minnesota Lynx Star, Napheesa Collier is out for tonight's game against New York, and averages 7.9 rebounds a game. Behind Collier, Minnesota has a front court of Dorka Juhasz, Diamond Miller, and Jessica Shepard, who is back from illness. New York is second in rebounds (37.7), and Minnesota ranks 6th (34.4). I expect Jones, along with Breanna Stewart, to be a force down low, with Collier out.

Jonquel Jones has entered the chat @jus242 averaged 18.7 PPG, 10.3 RPG, and 1.7 BPG to lead the @nyliberty to a 2-1 week record, earning her first Eastern Conference Player of the Week honor this szn #MoreThanGame pic.twitter.com/YKery8gg8q

Sabrina Ionescu OVER 6.5 Assists (-130)

12 points

12 assists

The Liberty trailed by as many as 18 and won pic.twitter.com/8pA7PO73LA

— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) July 26, 2023

The New York Liberty are playing excellent team basketball, and play at a high tempo. New York had 23 assists last game, in which nine of them were from Ionescu. The Liberty had four players with points in double figures last night, which has been the trend over their four-game win streak. Liberty guard, Courtney Vandersloot, is out for tonight's game, and leads the WNBA in assists per game (8). Sabrina Ionescu currently ranks 7th in the league in assists per game (5.9), and the Liberty rank first in assists (24.4).

New York is playing a Minnesota Lynx team, who rank 11th in 21 opponent assists per game. Minnesota allows opposing teams to shoot 36.3 percent beyond the arc, and 45.4 percent from the field.

Sabrina Ionescu hit over 6.5 assists in two straight games, and 5 games in July. The Liberty guard had 9 assist last night against Atlanta, and 12 against Seattle. With Vandersloot out, I expect Ionescu to create plays for her teammates, and continue that high tempo play. Both Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and Betnijah Laney are all playing at a high level, and will utilize screens with Ionescu.

Satou Sabally OVER 9.5 Rebounds (-118)

SAAATOU SAAAABALLY @satou_sabally | #VoltUp pic.twitter.com/WKFlP2nq71

— Dallas Wings (@DallasWings) July 26, 2023

Satou Sabally, of the Dallas Wings is averaging 9.3 rebounds in 23 games this season. Sabally, 25, is coming off back-to-back double doubles, against Connecticut and Los Angeles. The Washington Mystics will still be without Foward, Elena Delle Donne, and rank 10th in rebounding per game (33). Dallas is the leading team in rebounding this season (39.5) and allow the fewest rebounds per opponent (32.5).

The Dallas forward hit over 9.5 rebounds eight total times in June, and three times in July. In the prior matchup against Washington, Sabally scored 18 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. In what as a low scoring affair (75-74), Howard and Sabally outrebounded Delle-Donne and Austin, 27-21. Sabally didn't stop in her second game against the Mystics. She grabbed 15 rebounds, including 11 defensive boards. With Elena Delle Donne out with an injury, Washington does not have a ton of depth behind center, Shakira Austin.

Kahleah Copper OVER 20.5 Points (-113).

SHE JUST DIFFERENT.

Congrats on a new career high in points, @kahleahcopper pic.twitter.com/6EcfsfTrdB

— Chicago Sky (@chicagosky) July 26, 2023

It's safe to say Kahleah Copper is one of the best players in the WNBA right now. In 22 games, the Copper, 28, is averaging 18.7 points, 7-15 field goal attempts, and is shooting 41.3 percent from the three-point. She is coming off career-highs in points, 29 against Seattle Saturday, and 37 against the Aces, Tuesday. In the last five games, the Sky guard is averaging 16.8 field goal attempts, and 29.3 minutes per game. The guard ranks 10th in the league in scoring (18.7), and 5th in field goal attempts per game (15.5). Kahleah plays around 31 minutes a game, which is a Chicago team high.

The Chicago Sky are matched up tonight against a Seattle Storm team who allow opponents to shoot a league high 37.5 percent from downtown, and 46.4 percent from the field. Seattle is in the midst of a miserable ten gaming losing streak, and Copper is coming off two career games. The Sky star had 37 points, against Las Vegas, who is the top ranked team in the league. Copper is shooting 49 percent from the field, and 35 percent from the three the last two games. Even more impressive, Kahlea Copper is 20-22 from the three-throw line in her last two games.

Tonight, is the NBA Summer League Championship between Cleveland Cavaliers and the Houston Rockets, in which both teams are competing for their first ever Summer League Championship.? If you missed my last article, I discussed the money line, totals, and spread bet odds for the matchup tonight.? In this piece, I will go over player prop and game prop bets and analysis.? The game will start at 9 PM EST and will air on ABC.? ?If you are looking for the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is information to know.

Player Prop Specials?

*Odds courtesy of Draft Kings*

Cam Whitmore 20+ Points (-180)

I like Cam Whitmore 20 + points, and for several reasons. Whitmore was recently named the NBA 2K24 Summer League MVP and has more momentum than any player.? In 5 games, Whitmore averaged 31.5 minutes per game, which was 7th, and 20.4 points, which ranks 13.? It's important to note, when looking at points per game totals, both teammates Jabari Smith Jr., and Tari Eason were in the top 4 in points per game.? Those two players were out for three consistent games, and I feel Whitmore's points per game could've been higher.

Furthermore, Whitmore scored 25 plus points in two straight games, and hit 20+ points in three out of his five games played.? If you look at the graph provided above, you can look at his points per game trends, and how it stayed trending since game 3.? Although Cleveland has a mean defense, they gave up 99 points against the Brooklyn Nets, who had six players with points in double figures.? In fact, Cleveland allowed Brooklyn to attempt 36 three-pointers, in which they made 39 percent of them.? I expect Whitmore to continue to shine tonight and prove the doubters wrong. Give me Cam Whitmore OVER 20 points.?

Sam Merrill 5 +Threes Made (+130)

*All graphs made by Sara Jane Gamelli*

Sam Merrill has been a consistent player for the Cavaliers and hasn't decreased his shooting volume.? In four games, Merrill ranked 1st in the league in 3-Point Attempts Per Game at 11.? In addition, Merrill ranked 2nd in 3-pointers made per game, at 4.8, and shot 43.2 percent from beyond the arc.? At first, I didn't like this bet, since Sam Merrill only hit 5+ 3-Pointers made once.? However, if you take a look at the graph above, his three-point attempts are steadily?increasing, and Merrill hit 8 made threes in game three against Memphis.? It's important to note Memphis was a solid defensive team and allowed opponents to score 86.8 points per game.? These players are on the biggest stage tonight, and some are fighting for a roster spot.? Although Merrill only hit the 5+ mark once, his shot volume and minutes are there.? Last game against the Nets, Merrill played 36 minutes, attempted 13 three-pointers, and 17 total shots. Give me Sam Merrill 5+ 3-pointers made.?

Emoni Bates 20+ Points (+110)

Emoni Bates was easily one of my favorite players to watch this summer and was considered an MVP candidate. Bates was extremely consistent for the Cavaliers, in which he averaged 16.8 points per game, 29.6 minutes played, 6.2 rebounds, and shot 41 percent from the 3-point.? Although Bates hit over 20 points only once, much like Merrill, his shot volume has increased significantly since game 3.? In fact, Bates scored exactly 20 points on 8-13 and 4-5 shooting last night against the Nets in 34 minutes. Bates ranks within the top 15 in 3-Pointers Attempted Per Game (7.8), and averages 13.8 total shots per game. This is a Houston team that allowed the Utah Jazz to put up 101 points, in which all five of their starters had points in double figures.? Furthermore, the Rockets allowed the Jazz to attempt 88 total shots, and 45 three-point shots, and the lowest a team has scored against Houston was 92 points.? Give me Emoni Bates OVER 20 points here.?
