Last night's Lynx comeback was crazy!
Shoutout to Courtney Williams for a career offensive game and Napheesa Collier for a career defensive game. Our props from Game 1 also went two-for-three, with Collier's points under hitting and McBride's +145 to make over 2.5 3-pointers cashing in the first half.
There were some clear matchup angles to exploit that are worth going to the props early despite having a few days between games.
Here are some Lynx vs. Liberty player props and picks I suggest grabbing right away.
Jonquel Jones o14.5 Points (+105)
Seeing plus money on a reasonable Jonquel Jones points prop was an instant bet for me. She dominated in the first quarter with 10 points and finished with an angry 22.
I literally mean Jonquel was not happy at all. She was not getting the ball in her spots during the late-game collapse for the Liberty. She has a huge matchup advantage and is such an integral part of the Liberty offense.
She is the best screensetter in the WNBA and rolls against Alanna Smith who does not have her size. Jones should get going early again, and I do not expect the Liberty to go away from it.
Leonie Fiebich o9.5 Points (-115)
Fiebich has a significant size advantage in her matchup. She was often on ball against Williams or guarded on offenses by a smaller Lynx guard or wing.
She was often getting a switch off a screen or off-ball action and posting up. If Fiebich is going to do more offensively than just be a knockdown shooter (which is still part of her role), then playing her over points is also obvious.
Betnijah Laney-Hamilton o3.5 Rebounds (+120)
The Liberty had two key mistakes in Game 1. They got outrebounded badly, and they went away from Laney-Hamilton late and played more Vandersloot.
I expect Hamilton to not only have an increase in minutes but also an emphasis on rebounding. A full unit here on a nice plus money prop that could close -odds with a few days for action to come into the market.
