Entering tonight’s crucial game three showdown, let’s take a look at some of the player prop bets being offered by sportsbooks across the country. Here are our best picks from WNBA betting sites in America.
Liberty vs. Lynx Prop Bets: Sabrina Ionescu Over 18.5 Points (+100)
Ionescu was the team’s second-leading scorer in the Liberty’s game one loss with 19 points, though that was on 8-of-26 shooting from the field. In game two, she was the team’s third-leading scorer with 15 points but took 17 fewer shots, going 5-for-9 from the field. With her fire and passion on the court, I believe she could have an even better scoring night tonight, judging by the difference in her game one and game two performances.
Liberty vs. Lynx Prop Bets: Napheesa Collier Over 20.5 Points (-115)
Collier was the team’s third-leading scorer in game one with 21 points (10-of-16 shooting from the field), and they needed every one of those points in their surprising series-opening two-point win on the road. She followed up with a team-high 16 points (7-of-12 shooting from the field) in game two. I think the home crowd will get her going on some consecutive offensive possessions to meet or perhaps surpass her game one 21-point performance.
Liberty vs. Lynx Prop Bets: Kayla McBride 15+ Points (+125)
McBride lit it up for the Lynx with 22 points (6-of-11 shooting from the field) to be the team’s second-leading scorer in game one. In game two, it was a different story. She netted only eight points on a disappointing 3-for-9 shooting night. This is a chance to regain some form in front of the home crowd. She might not get 20 or more points, but 15 or more is certainly within her reach.
Liberty vs. Lynx Prop Bets: Jonquel Jones 15+ Points (+105)
The former league MVP scored a game-high 24 points on 9-of-14 shooting from the field in game one and followed up with a 14-point performance in the game two much-needed win. On the season, she averaged 14.2 points per game, and I think she will land in the middle of her game one and game two scoring outputs. Plus, she is looking to score more than 13.5 points for the fourth straight game in the playoffs.
New York Liberty (1-1) at Minnesota Lynx (1-1) Prediction
| Time | 8 p.m. ET |
| Money Line/Spread | Odds |
| New York | -160 / -3.5 (-105) |
| Minnesota | +135 / +3.5 (-115) |
| Over/Under Total | 160.5 (over -110 / under -110) |
Pick: Minnesota (money line, spread)
It will be a homecoming celebration for the Lynx as they are 14-11 against the spread at home this season and are 4-2 against the spread in their last six games, including the same 4-2 record against the spread versus the Liberty in their last six games.
Mind you, New York has been impressive on the road with a 17-5 overall record, including a solid 16-6 against the spread, highlighted by a 5-1 ATS in their last six road contests. However, against the Lynx: a dismal 6-12-1 ATS in their last 17 matchups. Minnesota upended New York at home, 84-67, during the regular season.
Look for the Lynx to lock it up in game three to take a 2-1 series advantage.
