Sean Koerner, our Director of Predictive Analytics, highlights his top five WNBA props to target on PrizePicks this Friday. He has a 35-10 record on picks he's written about so far this season.
Picks are listed below in order of his confidence, with a 10-rating being the highest. Note that Sean likes to play the following picks as a five-pack, then two- to three-packs based on the props he likes the most, hence why he provides confidence ratings.
What is PrizePicks? A daily fantasy operator — meaning they’re available in more states (30) than sports betting is! — PrizePicks offers a unique opportunity for action on player props in which you parlay two or more plays together.
Friday WNBA Picks
Kristy Wallace (Dream) Over 11.5 P+R+A
Kristy has cleared this number in eight straight games, and with Erica Wheeler (foot) unlikely to play tonight, I can't believe we are getting this number. I'm projecting Wallace closer to 16.5 PRA.
Confidence Rating: 10 out of 10
Jessica Shepard (Lynx) Over 6.5 Rebounds
Sylvia Fowles (knee) has been ruled out tonight, meaning we should see Shepard shift to center and be in position for more rebound chances. Damiris Dantas (Center) is making her season debut, but I imagine she will be limited to 15-20 minutes. I'm projecting Shepard closer to 10 rebounds.
Confidence Rating: 10 out of 10
Moriah Jefferson (Lynx) Under 4.5 Assists
Moriah has been cleared to play after missing the past three games due to a quad injury. I imagine she will be limited to 20-25 minutes in her return and she has yet to top this number when playing fewer than 33 minutes this season. I'm projecting her closer to three assists.
Confidence Rating: 9 out of 10
Ezi Magbegor (Storm) Over 9.5 Points
Dallas allows a ton of points near the basket, as seen by their league-worst 15.9 FG/G allowed inside of five feet. Magbegor is the Storm's main source of points near the basket (she averages 3.8 FGM inside of five feet a game). I'm projecting her closer to 12.5 points tonight and would not be shocked if she clears that number as well.
Confidence Rating: 9 out of 10
Queen Egbo (Fever) Over 5.5 Rebounds
Queen has cleared this number in six of the past eight games. She will have to play as many minutes as she can handle tonight against a Liberty team that plays big. I'm projecting her closer to 7.5 rebounds.
Confidence Rating: 8 out of 10
