Alyssa Thomas, A’ja Wilson Among Best Picks (September 13)

The WNBA playoffs are finally here!

We finished the last month of the season with an impressive 18-6 record on player props. As we enter the postseason, you can expect player props from me for every playoff game.

I will do my best to continue the momentum and provide you with the most enjoyable WNBA playoffs we’ve seen in years, if not ever.

Today’s WNBA Player Props

Alyssa Thomas Over 33.5 Points, Rebounds & Assists (-115) | Over 7.5 Assists (-120)

Alyssa Thomas deserves some MVP consideration, and we expect her to prove why against the Minnesota Lynx.

For Game 1 on Wednesday, I recommend betting on Thomas to exceed her points, rebounds, and assists. You can find this prop on bet365. If you’re unable to access bet365, I will provide alternative options later in this text.

Although Thomas only achieved this feat in one of her last five regular season games, we shouldn’t read too much into it since the Sun have solidified their second seed position. Prior to this stretch, Thomas surpassed 33.5 points, rebounds, and assists in four consecutive games and nine out of 11 contests.

It’s important to remember that these are the playoffs, where Thomas has consistently performed well. Throughout her playoff career, she has averaged around 15 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in 33 games. In last year’s WNBA Finals against the Las Vegas Aces, Thomas surpassed 33.5 points, rebounds, and assists twice in the four-game series.

If you’re unable to bet on this combination, consider Thomas’ rebounds and assists separately. Her rebound prop is listed at 9.5 and 10.5, depending on the sportsbook. I recommend betting over 9.5 rebounds, as Thomas has achieved this in 14 out of 19 games before the playoffs. As for the 10.5 rebound prop, I suggest staying away due to the fact that six out of her 14 overs were exactly 10 rebounds.

Her assists alone are also worth considering. She has surpassed or fallen short of 7.5 assists in 12 out of 18 games leading up to Wednesday.

Out of all her individual props, the assists prop is probably my favorite.

Additionally, on FanDuel, Thomas is listed at +380 to record a triple-double. She achieved six triple-doubles this season and two in her playoff career. While the odds might not be in our favor, it could be worth a small bet at 4-to-1 odds.

A’ja Wilson Over 9.5 Rebounds (-120)

We all anticipate a remarkable performance from the Las Vegas Aces, who are the favorites to win the WNBA Finals. They have a favorable path to the championship.

A’ja Wilson, as long as her rebound prop is set at 10 or below, is a strong bet.

Against the Chicago Sky, Wilson has favorable matchups in every significant category. However, with a 23.5-point prop, there is a risk of the Aces blowing out the Sky before Wilson reaches that mark.

On the other hand, Wilson has surpassed 9.5 rebounds in two out of three matchups against the Chicago Sky, while achieving 24 or more points only once.

Considering these factors, let’s stick with the 9.5 rebound prop for Game 1.
