We only have two games on Thursday in the WNBA, but it doesn't mean there isn't more than enough action for fans and bettors to get involved with. The two-game slate begins with a matinee between the Fever and Sparks at 3:30 p.m. ET on NBA TV and wraps up at 7 p.m. ET with the Dream taking on the Liberty at the Barclays Center.
Both games feature many star players, making this an excellent 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.

10X potential payout if all four legs hit
1. Aliyah Boston, F, Fever @ Sparks - UNDER 14.5 points
When the Fever and Sparks played each other on Tuesday night, Los Angeles held the rookie forward to nine points (3-9 FG, 3-4 FT) in 26 minutes. Boston has struggled offensively since returning from the All-Star break, scoring 8.7 points per game in her past three games. She's also shooting 40 percent from the field.
Boston will try to get back on track this afternoon against the Sparks, but it will be tough, as she will see Nneka Ogwumike and Azura Stevens inside the post. Ogwumike and Stevens outplayed Indiana's frontcourt with 45 total points on Tuesday night. Meanwhile, Boston has gone UNDER 14.5 points in six out of her past 10 games (averaging 13.1 points per game). The last time Boston scored 15-plus points was against New York on July 12 when she posted 23 points in 37 minutes and had zero fouls.
2. Jordin Canada, G, Sparks vs. Fever - OVER 6 assists
Canada has dished out the assists lately, averaging 8.3 dimes per game in her past three outings, which is higher than her season average (6.0). In the Sparks' one-point win over the Fever earlier this week, she had a game-high 10 assists and knocked down the game-winning three to give her 20 points.
Canada has quietly been one of the better point guards in the league, averaging six assists per game, which is good for sixth in the WNBA this season. We like Canada to hit the OVER again, as the Fever allow 20.8 assists per game this season (10th worst in the W). She has recorded at least six or more assists in five out of her past 10 games and is recording 6.2 assists per game at home.
3. Betnijah Laney, F, Liberty vs. Dream - OVER 11.5 points
On Tuesday night, we made the mistake of taking the UNDER 10.5 points on Laney, who dropped 19 points in a four-point win over the Storm. Since returning from the All-Star break, Laney has been in her bag, averaging 15.5 points per game on 60-percent shooting from the field and 37.5 percent from deep.
We won't make the same mistake and will take OVER 11.5 points tonight against the Dream. The veteran forward has played well against Atlanta this season, scoring 15 points per game (three games). When New York played Atlanta at Barclays on June 13, she scored 17 points on 6-of-9 from the field and 3-of-5 from three-point range. With Stewart and Ionescu demanding so much attention, it could open up opportunities for Laney and Jonquel Jones tonight.
4. Rhyne Howard, G, Dream @ Liberty - UNDER 18.5 points
The two-time All-Star point guard has been on a tear since the All-Star break, scoring 20-plus points in three out of her past four games. However, Howard has a tough matchup against the Liberty tonight, who has held her under 18.5 points in two out of three meetings this season. Howard is scoring 17 points per game against New York on 38.9 percent shooting from the field and 47.1 percent from three-point range.
However, the former first-overall pick has gone OVER 18.5 points in just five out of 11 games this season. If Howard gets off to a quick start, she could push to score 19 tonight, but the Liberty will try to limit her and Allisha Gray's scoring opportunities.
