What an unbelievable series this has been!
Game 3 of the WNBA Finals ended in dramatic fashion, with Sabrina Ionescu hitting a contested step-back 3-pointer to put the New York Liberty up three points over the Minnesota Lynx with one second left in the fourth quarter.
So, which players will be responsible for some seemingly inevitable heroics in Game 4?
Keep reading for our three favorite WNBA player props for this Game 4 between the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx, featuring Breanna Stewart to dish out fewer than four assists, Napheesa Collier to score at least 21 points, and Courtney Williams to record a double-double!
Breanna Stewart Under 3.5 Assists (-150)
It was the "Stewie Show" in the second half of Wednesday night's Game 3 Finals action against the Lynx.
Stewart poured in 22 of her 30 points in the second half, knocking down big shot after big shot to help the Liberty come back from a 15-point deficit on the road.
Even though the Lynx ratcheted up their effort defensively, it was still not enough to hold off New York's tough shot-making duo of Stewart and Ionescu.
However, it became blatantly obvious that Stewart would have to take over offensively after every other Liberty player had trouble creating separation in the half-court.
If it weren't obvious that there were some issues on that end of the floor, look no further than the 16 turnovers that New York had in Game 3.
With a chance to put this series away and win her third WNBA Finals, Stewart won't be too keen to pass more than she has to. Plus, most of New York's actions offensively don't rely on her being a playmaking hub for others.
Lastly, she has been under this line in two of her three games thus far against Minnesota, recording just three assists in Game 1 and one assist in Game 3.
Napheesa Collier Over 20.5 Points (-118)
The Lynx will turn to none other than Collier for offense in a must-win Game 4.
Collier has been tremendous in the playoffs, further solidifying her status as the second-best player in the world.
In fact, she has averaged 24.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 4.1 "stocks" (steals + blocks) per game on a 54/44/86 shooting split in 10 playoff games this season.
While Collier has not crushed this line in any of her three games against the Liberty thus far, she has been over it in five of her past six games.
Her 22 field goal attempts in Game 3 certainly indicate that she will have a heavy volume in a must-win game.
Courtney Williams To Record Double-Double (+950)
Before you scoff and close this tab, hear me out.
Since her scoring outburst in Game 1, Williams has been held to a much more reasonable output, courtesy of Ionescu's pesky, suffocating defense; however, Williams has still been phenomenal in her creation for others, logging eight assists in each of her past two games.
Williams also has scored double-digit points in seven consecutive playoff games, shooting roughly 49% from the field, 53% from behind the arc, and 94% from the free-throw line. Even with a rough shooting night (4-for-14) in Game 3, Williams still managed to post 12 points.
Additionally, she has recorded eight assists and double-digit points in three of her past six playoff games. She could get over the assist hump in a do-or-die Game 4. The near-10-to-1 value here makes this prop a sprinkle-worthy play.
