New York @ Phoenix picks

This is a nice price for a Thomas double-double here. She’s finished with 10+ points in all 10 outings this season, and she’s a nightly threat to hit that mark in both assists and rebounds, too. Lately, it’s been Thomas’ playmaking — 10.6 APG through her last six matchups — that’s shone through.

Breanna Stewart has been rolling, so I have no problem going back to the well for another combo line. New York Liberty’s star forward posted a 23/10/3 line in her last game out, but her PRA total hasn’t risen at all from 31.5. There’s value to be had here. Stewart is averaging 21 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game this season, good for 30.5 PRA. In five games without Jonquel Jones on the court, she’s posted 22 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists, good for 33.8 PRA. Stewie’s points increased minimally with Jones out of action, but her rebounds and assists rose considerably. In the five games played without Jones this season, she hit the Over three times and finished with 30 and 31 PRA in the other two.
