Best WNBA Bets Today: Thursday, August 6
Napheesa Collier Under 19.5 Points (-120) vs. Los Angeles Sparks
Hard Rock Bet, 3:10 p.m. ET
Jason Shebilske: Collier is one of the most talented players in the league, but she missed the first half of the season due to an ankle injury. She scored 24 points during her season debut, but she’s been held below 20 points in each of her last three appearances as she continues to be brought along slowly. The Sparks have a serviceable scoring defense against opposing forwards, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Collier held under 20 points once again Thursday, especially if she continues to have her minutes monitored.
Natasha Howard Over 8.5 Rebounds + Assists (-130) vs. Los Angeles Sparks
DraftKings Spotrsbook, 3:15 p.m. ET
Jason Shebilske: Sticking with the Lynx, Howard is in the midst of a dominant campaign in Minnesota, including averages of 7.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. She’s consistently hit the over on this line this season, including in 10 of her last 11 appearances. The Sparks allow the second-most rebounds and third-most assists to opposing forwards of any team in the league, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see her success continue Thursday.
