We have another Friday night WNBA doubleheader on ION, starting with Elena Delle Donne and the Mystics looking to win their second-straight game over Rhyne Howard and the Dream at 7:30 p.m. ET. Then, at 8 p.m. ET, Nneka Ogwumike and the Sparks will try to bounce against Kahleah Cooper and the Sky, who defeated them 80-63 on Wednesday night.
Both 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 6/30
* Entry -four picks (20X) potential payout if all four legs parlayed*
1. Ariel Atkins, G, Mystics @ Dream - OVER 13.5 points
Atkins is coming off a solid performance against the Dream on Wednesday night where she scored 19 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field and 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. The veteran guard has improved after a slow start, and she's now averaging 13.1 points per game on 41.5 percent shooting from the field and 42.4 percent from three.
Atkins has gone over 13.5 points in just four out of her past 10 games but is averaging 13.4 points per game at home this season. She's also gone OVER 13.5 points in four out of seven home games and should hit this number again, as Atlanta allows 7.9 threes made per game (ninth in the WNBA). In the four home games she went over, Atkins averaged 2.75 threes made per game.
2. Rhyne Howard, G, Dream vs. Mystics - UNDER 17 points
It pains us to take the UNDER on Howard's points tonight, as she's shown the ability to score 20 points on any given night this season. However, she did not play well against the Mystics on Wednesday night, posting just eight points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3pt), four assists, and a rebound. That was only the second time this season that Howard was held under double-digit points. The first time was on May 23 against the Lynx when Howard scored eight points in 28 minutes.
The former No. 1 overall pick has struggled against the Mystics over her short career, as they are one of the better perimeter defensive teams. Howard is scoring 8.8 points per game against Washington and has gone UNDER 17 points in four-straight games. Howard has played better at home this year, scoring 18.8 points per game, but she's facing tough defenders in Natasha Cloud and Brittany Sykes, who will not allow easy baskets.
3. Marina Mabrey, G, Sky vs. Sparks - UNDER 15.5 points
We will take another UNDER on tonight's slate, as Mabrey is scoring just 10.5 points per game in her past four games since her 36-point outburst against the Fever on June 15. In Wednesday night's win over the Sparks, she had 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field and 2-of-5 from beyond the arc, which is an improvement from the previous three games.
It's tough to gauge what type of performance we will see from Mabrey tonight, as we should expect the Sparks to make some adjustments after being blown out. The former Notre Dame standout has only scored more than 15.5 points twice this month, which were coincidentally against the Fever.
4. Nneka Ogwumike, F, Sparks @ Sky - OVER 9.5 rebounds
The multiple-time All-Star forward dominated the glass on Wednesday night, posting 11 rebounds in the 17-point loss. Ogwumike has been one of the best rebounders in the league this season, averaging 9.8 boards a game (fifth in the WNBA).
She should thrive again against the Sky, who allow 27.1 defensive rebounds per game, good for eighth in the WNBA. The veteran forward has gone OVER 9.5 rebounds in six out of her past 10 games (10.2 RPG) and four out of her past six road contests. Chicago has a solid frontcourt with Elizabeth Williams and Alanna Smith, but they won't keep Ogwumike off the boards.
