Angel Reese o14.5 Points Scored (+100)
Angel Reese nearly cleared this number despite shooting just 4-for-11 in her debut, and now faces a Wings defense that allowed Aliyah Boston to score 23 points on 9-of-14 shooting. Dallas struggled badly protecting the paint, surrendering 62% shooting on two-point attempts, which plays directly into Reese’s interior scoring style. With a favorable matchup and plus money attached, Reese’s scoring prop offers solid value tonight.

Alyssa Thomas Score First Field Goal (Yes: +450)
Natasha Mack won the opening tip in each of the Mercury’s first two games. At 6’4 with a 6’11 wingspan, Mack has a height and reach advantage over most opposing centers. That will be the case when she jumps against the 6’2 Natasha Howard.
Howard lost the tip to the taller Angel Reese in Minnesota’s opener against the Dream, and I expect Mack to get the better of her on Tuesday.
Including last season’s Finals and the 2026 preseason and regular season, Mack has tipped the ball to Thomas in seven of eight games, and Thomas has attempted the first shot four times.

Breanna Stewart First Field Goal (Yes: +325)
Jones projects to win the opening tip, and the Liberty will look to push in transition with Stewart as the first option.
The two-time former WNBA MVP scored the first basket of the 2026 season against the Sun, is averaging 27 points through two games, and is a good pick for this wager.
NY -11.5 (-115)
New York generates 21.5 points off turnovers per game, second in the league, and Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and the thinned-out Liberty still produced that damage without five rotation players.
New York's depth has been irrelevant so far. Portland's defense will be too.
