After just one game on Thursday night in the WNBA, eight teams will be in action on Friday night on ION. The four-game slate begins at 7 p.m. ET with Aliyah Boston and the Fever looking to snap their five-game losing streak against Natasha Cloud and the Mystics. Then, at 8 p.m. ET, three games will tip off across the country (Dream-Sky, Aces-Wings, and Mercury-Lynx) to wrap up the night in the W.
All four games feature a ton of star players, making this a great opportunity for WNBA fans to bet on their favorite players' props on SuperDraft.
On SuperDraft, bettors can pick an over/under on two or more player props. If you hit both, you win up to 3X the amount wagered, and the return increases each time you add another prop. Think of it as a "Same Game Parlay." More legs equal more risk, but also a bigger potential payout. However, not all players have the same props, so keep that in mind as you pick your over/under plays and try to win some cash during the first night of WNBA regular season action.
Best WNBA prop bets today: SuperDraft player prop picks for Friday 7/7
* Entry -four picks (10X) potential payout if all four legs parlayed*
1. Aliyah Boston, F, Fever @ Mystics - OVER 8.5 rebounds
Boston is coming off an excellent performance against Naphessa Collier and the Lynx on Wednesday night where he scored 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds. The No. 1 overall pick has played well in her first pro season in the WNBA, averaging 15 points and 8.5 rebounds per game.
Boston will try to have a similar performance tonight against the Mystics, who could be without All-Star Elena Delle Donne, who is listed as "questionable" because of an ankle injury. When the Fever played the Mystics earlier this season, Boston had 23 points and 14 rebounds in Indiana's 87-66 win.
If the Mystics don't have Delle Donne on the floor tonight, we could see another double-digit performance from the rook. Boston has gone over 8.5 rebounds in six out of her past 10 games and is averaging 8.8 rebounds per game on the road this season. The former South Carolina standout has also gone OVER 8.5 rebounds in five-straight road games. The Mystics have struggled on the glass this season, allowing 37.3 rebounds per game to opponents (most in the WNBA). That number has increased slightly over the past 10 games (37.5 rebounds per game), as Washington is without second-year center Shakira Austin.
2. Marina Mabrey, G, Sky vs. Dream - UNDER 16 points
Mabrey played well last weekend against the Fever, where she did a little bit of everything (17 points, six assists, and four rebounds). Now she will get prepared to face the Dream, who gave her problems back in May.
In that game, Atlanta held Mabrey to 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting from the field and 1-of-2 from three-point range. Mabrey has gone UNDER 16 points in six out of her past 10 games but is scoring 19.6 points per game at home this season. However, her home splits are slightly inflated, as she dropped 28 and 36 points against the Fever. In her past three home contests against the Mystics and Sparks, Mabrey only scored 12 points per game.
3. Arike Ogunbowale, G, Wings vs. Aces - OVER 20.5 points
Ogunbowale struggled in Wednesday's seven-point loss to the Aces, only scoring 12 points on 5-of-20 shooting from the field and 2-of-9 from three-point range. Las Vegas did not make things easy for the dynamic scoring guard, who has better scoring performances when she takes 20-plus attempts from the floor.
After only scoring 12 points on the road earlier this week, we think that Ogunbowale is due for a bounce back against an Aces' squad that is one of the better defensive teams in the league. Ogunbowale has gone OVER 20.5 points in five out of her past 10 games, which includes 23 points against the Mercury on June 27.
Additionally, the star guard is scoring 24 points per game at home and shooting 41.7 percent from the field and 34.7 percent from the field. This is a notable difference from her road splits, where Ogunbowale is posting 19.2 ppg on 35.6 percent shooting from the field and 26 percent from three. We believe she will get back on track at home tonight as the Wings try to rebound from their loss earlier this week.
4. Brittney Griner, C, Mercury vs. Lynx - UNDER 6.5 rebounds
We will take the UNDER on Griner's rebound prop against the Lynx tonight. When these two teams last played each other on July 1, the Lynx did a great job keeping Griner off the glass, as she only had five rebounds in 34 minutes.
But with Minnesota focusing all its attention on Griner, Brianna Turner grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds (11 defensive rebounds). Griner has struggled to hit 6.5 rebounds in her past 10 games, only going OVER twice -- eight rebounds vs. NY on Wednesday and 11 rebounds vs. L.A. on June 2. Griner is also posting 5.8 rebounds per game on the road this season and had three games with at least six rebounds.
This season, Minnesota has a solid job of rebounding, holding opponents to 34.3 rebounds per game (sixth best in the WNBA). With Diana Taurasi listed as out, the Mercury will be looking for Griner to score more, which could limit her rebounding opportunities.
