Tuesday WNBA Picks
Ariel Atkins Under 2.5 3-Pointers
Atkins has cleared this number in only eight of her 21 games this season.
Tonight's matchup against the Dream will be a slow-paced, low-scoring defensive battle. The chances of her making three-plus triples tonight seem even lower than usual.
I'm projecting Atkins to make two 3-pointers tonight.
Confidence Rating: 9 out of 10
Kayla Thornton Over 4 Rebounds
Thornton has been held to three rebounds in two straight games. Before this recent slump, she hadn't finished with fewer than four rebounds since September 23 (14 straight games!).
However, she should get back on track in the rebounding department tonight, and I'm projecting her closer to 6.5 rebounds.
Confidence Rating: 9 out of 10
Natasha Cloud Over 2.5 Turnovers
I expect tonight's matchup to be a slow-paced, low-scoring defensive battle, and Atlanta leads the league with 8.6 steals per game.
The Dream will be putting constant pressure on Cloud, who will be handling the ball for about 32 minutes tonight. I'm projecting her closer to 3.5 turnovers.
Confidence Rating: 8 out of 10
Sylvia Fowles Over 14.5 Points
Fowles has been eased into action after a five-game absence, but I'm expecting her minutes to get back into the 28-30 range tonight.
The Wings allow a ton of easy baskets around the rim, so this is a fantastic matchup for Fowles, who should have her way tonight. I'm projecting her closer to 16.5 points and would not be surprised if she clears that number.
Confidence Rating: 7 out of 10
Marina Mabrey Over 13.5 Points
Mabrey has been ice cold the past three games, shooting just 26% from the field. However, she has the perfect bounce-back spot tonight against the Lynx, who have the second-worst defensive rating.
Allisha Gray remains out tonight, meaning Mabrey will continue to be the second option on offense behind Arike Ogunbowale. I'm projecting her closer to 16 points.
Confidence Rating: 7 out of 10
