Breanna Stewart Record a Double-Double (Yes: +130)
Breanna Stewart is a near lock to hit double-digits in scoring, so this prop comes down to her rebounds. The Seattle Storm rebound at a poor 48.5% rate and allow opponents to grab 35.5 boards per game, second-most in the WNBA. Stewart should dominate the glass, making her a great double-double pick tonight.
The New York Liberty beat the Seattle Storm by 12 points on Monday, and there's no reason to expect anything else today. The Liberty rank third in the WNBA in true shooting (59.4%), fourth in offensive rating (111.2), and fourth in overall scoring (90.0 ppg). New York will outscore Seattle tonight, and I'd take them to cover at -9.5 or less.

Paige Bueckers u1.5 3-Pointers Made (-135)
Paige Bueckers has scored one or fewer triples in 13 of 28 total games, including eight of 15 on the road, where she’s averaged 1.7. Bueckers’ three-point percentage is a robust 42.9% at home, but she’s been far less efficient on the road, converting just 35.2% of her three-point tries. The Mystics have allowed opponents to shoot just 32.3% from beyond the arc.
u166.5 (-110)
Over the last 10 games, Washington and Dallas rank in the Top 4 in defensive rating, fewest points surrendered, fewest opponent FTA, lowest opponent FG% and lowest opponent 3P%. Dallas is 13-17 to the Under, and Washington is 14-14. They’ve hit the Under in two H2H meetings this season, scoring 156 and 161 points. I’ll bet on a third straight Under and play this one down to 162.5.

Nneka Ogwumike ranks fourth in the W in double-doubles with 13, and she’s reached that milestone in each of her two matchups with Chicago this season.
Ogwumike has posted a double-double in four straight road games, and she gets a tremendous matchup with a Sky team posting the lowest rebound percentage (47.2) and surrendering the most total rebounds (37.4).
Kamilla Cardoso o28.5 Total Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-115)
Kamilla Cardoso is averaging 26.6 PRA in front of the home crowd. After four straight road games, she’s back in Chicago, where I expect her to clear 27 PRA, as she did in her last home matchup with the Sparks. Cardoso has been particularly effective with Azura Stevens out, averaging 24.5 PRA alongside Stevens and 28.2 without her.
