Brittney Griner Over 2.5 assists (+145)

Getting plus money on Brittney Griner’s exact season-assist floor feels like a dream.

Griner is averaging exactly 2.5 assists per game through 11 games with the Connecticut Sun, backed by a strong 18.8% assist rate and an efficient 16.5% assist ratio.

The Dallas Wings' defense struggles to contain the interior and frequently collapses down low, which opens up highly profitable kick-out opportunities for a high-post facilitator of her caliber.

Griner has racked up at least three dimes in three of her previous seven games, and is playable to +115.

Dominique Malonga Over 18.5 points (+100)

Backing Dominique Malonga at plus-money is a fantastic value play given her exploding role in the Seattle Storm offense.

Malonga has cleared this mark in three of her last five games, exploding for 28, 37, and 20 points.

Her massive 29.6% usage rate validates that she is the focal point of the Storm’s attack, and her efficient 53.6% eFG% guarantees high-volume production.

The Phoenix Mercury have allowed 36 points per game in the paint across their last five contests, and I would take Malonga to -110.

Jade Melbourne Over 8.5 points (+100)

Jade Melbourne's expanding backcourt role makes this plus-money line a solid play tonight.

Over her last two outings, she comfortably cleared this mark, logging 18 points against the Liberty and 10 against the Dream.

With Melbourne’s minutes climbing to 31, her season average of 8.9 ppg sits nicely below the bookmakers' number.

An 18.0% usage rate and 45.8% eFG% solidify her growing volume

Take the Over to 9.5.
