The Breakdown

Focusing in on Paige Bueckers debut game against Minnesota, we’re looking at her under in overall PRA being given the tough defensive assignment that she’ll draw from the Lynx. Last season, the Lynx allowed the second fewest field goals made per game and least amount of assists per game as a team. Not to mention, Napheesa Collier, Kayla McBride, Courtney Williams, Bridget Carleton, and Alanna Smith all rank in the top-10 of on ball defenders in the league.

Fast tracking to Caitlin Clark and her WNBA betting odds for the first game of the season, we’re taking her over in total PRA. Last season, in four games against the Sky, Clark went over the 36.5 mark three times. She averaged exactly 37 PRA against them last year in those four games with 20.5 ppg, 10 apg, and 6.5 rpg.

In the final game of the weekend, we like the Phoenix Mercury to cover -2.5 against the Seattle Storm. The Mercury replaced the loss of Brittney Griner with Alyssa Thomas and Satou Sabally. Meanwhile, the Storm are in trouble. They traded Jewell Loyd and Jordan Horston, who was projected to start, is now out with a torn ACL. This is an underpriced line, and bettors should be all over it.
