Free WNBA Prop Picks

When there are few games on the schedule, oddsmakers are forced to get creative to put up more numbers. And more numbers are the best edge for bettors. Proposition wagering is relatively newer to sports betting than sides and totals. It gained notoriety in the mid-1980s during Super Bowl week and has expanded rapidly in recent years. With no football or men's basketball during the summer, oddsmakers put up WNBA prop bets on many games offering savvy bettors more opportunities to exploit soft numbers. Remember to check out my WNBA consensus picks and percentages on all of tonight's games.

Why Use Free WNBA Prop Picks

If the posted side, total, and WNBA moneyline look about right, don't look past the various WNBA prop bets offered. You will find props such as over/under how many rebounds one player will accrue, how many assists the top playmaker will dish out, or how many points a WNBA star might get tonight. You then wager WNBA Over or Under the posted number. It requires handicappers to shift their thinking from statistical and situational game matchups to individual performers. Getting access to free WNBA basketball prop angles and information from pro bettors will improve your handicapping game.

Betting Value in Free WNBA Prop Picks

Oddsmakers pay the most attention to sides and totals. Sharp bettors will pounce quickly on a WNBA side with oddsmakers recognizing it right away to make adjustments. But less money is bet on props, so a soft prop number can fly under the radar longer. A common prop is points scored by a team's top scorer, such as "Over/Under 17.5 points." But if that scorer happens to be facing the best defensive team in the WNBA, the matchup suggests she might have difficulties approaching her seasonal average. And if the game is on the road, where that player doesn't shoot as well as at home, a play on the Under might be warranted. It's all about scouring the numbers - not from the perspective of a sports fan, but with a cool, calculated handicapping eye.

There are thousands of daily bettors who fail to put the time in, preferring to go with their instincts. Instincts may work in the wild, but not in the wild wide jungle world of sports betting. Proposition bets increase the handicapping workload but that's fine for serious players whose only goal is to collect winning tickets.

Player Bounce-Back

If a star WNBA player is averaging 19 points per game but comes off a clunker scoring 10 points on 4-of-20 shooting, that might simply have been a bad game, a statistical anomaly. Oddsmakers are basing their projected Over/Under prop points or rebounds largely on seasonal averages. However, an astute handicapper can gauge when a player might be in a prime position to go Over the posted prop after a poor performance. For instance, a top scorer off a bad game might be matched up the next game against a terrible defense. The odds shift that they are primed for a strong bounce-back effort. Another prop matchup edge would be a strong rebounder facing a team with a small frontcourt that is poor in rebounding. That strong rebounder is primed for a big night under the glass going Over their rebounding season average. Be sure and check on prior meetings between the two teams, giving additional insight into individual player stats versus those opponents.

Matchups

Judging how one player might perform is often based on the matchups each night. In one recent campaign, two of the worst rebounding teams in the WNBA were Seattle and Los Angeles. When Las Vegas played them in back-to-back games, their top rebounder pulled down 13 rebounds each time, significantly Over her 9.5 rebounding per game average. When that same player went on the road and was then matched up against the best rebounding team in the league - Dallas - she only got 5 boards. All those rebounding numbers weren't statistical oddities. They were a direct result of the on-court matchup.

Team Props

In addition to player props, sportsbooks will post team props. Team props are tied to the performance of the entire team, such as Over/Under 79.5 points for the game. You could wager Over or Under 79.5 if you gauged that it was a weak number. In one season, Connecticut had the best 3-point defense in the WNBA. When they faced the top 3-point shooting squad, New York, the Liberty hit 9 3-pointers, two below their season average. In addition, New York scored 81 total points in the game, significantly below their season average of 88.7. Looking Under the total with team props can be advantageous when two teams are facing each other in a big regular-season matchup, such as with playoff seeding on the line, or in the postseason. When games mean more, there's often extra defensive intensity, with selected props more likely to go Under their season averages.
