WNBA Best Bets: Top Player Props Today

Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook

Sonia Citron UNDER 15.5 Points (-108)

After going for 32 points against the Portland Fire in last week's 4OT marathon, I'm not too sure what we're going to get from Sonia Citron, having been off, maybe, too long. Citron has only gone for 30 or more one other time, and she followed that with a 7-point outing.

The books might be begging you to play this one over since Citron has scored 16 or more in 12 of 17 games this season. It's a classic trap situation in my eyes. The Valkyries are the stingiest team in the league, and Citron may find it hard to find her rhythm against coach Natalie Nakase's scheme. She's averaging 13.0 points through four career games against Golden State.

Natasha Howard OVER 7.5 Rebounds (-138)

Natasha Howard ranks 13th in the league with 8.1 rebounds per game, and tonight will step into the paint against legendary Brittney Griner. One would think the challenge is insurmountable, but the history between these two might surprise you. In head-to-head comparison during their careers, Howard averages 12.7 rebounds per 100 possessions, while boasting a 14.7 total rebounding percentage.

The Lynx and Howard, who is averaging 8.3 rebounds in her last eight clashes against Griner, will be looking to avenge Friday's 13-point loss in New York, where she grabbed just six rebounds. Before that, she snatched a total of 29 in her previous two games. Howard has registered eight or more rebounds in half of her games (10 of 20) this season.

Dearica Hamby OVER 14.5 Points (-115)

While Dearica Hamby might be averaging 14.2 points through 18 games this season, she topped that mark the last two games, scoring 21 in a 28-point loss in Toronto and 15 in a 24-point loss in Indianapolis. Now, back home, Hamby is going to shoulder the burden of leading the Sparks, who are still without Kelsey Plum and Cameron Brink.

She is averaging 14.5 points at home this season, but over her last four in Los Angeles, Hamby is scoring 15.2 points per game. She's scored 15 or more in five of nine home games. Finally, Hamby has scored 15 or more in six of her last nine meetings with Seattle.
