However, I&#8217;m leaning on one of the awesome tools at RotoWire for my pick Thursday.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/betting\/probets\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ProBets<\/a>\u00a0is showing sharp money being staked on Stewart going under her points total. However, I&#8217;m never going to just blindly follow a tool. I&#8217;m going to use it as a starting point and then find if there&#8217;s compelling evidence to tail the pick. In this case, I like what I found. She&#8217;s coming off back-to-back 22-point games, so one could argue that she&#8217;s trending up, but I&#8217;ll bank on the fact that she has scored over 20 points in three consecutive games just once all season. Then, most importantly, there&#8217;s the matchup. Golden State has dominated New York this year, while holding Stewart to 15 and 18 points in the first two games.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/kiki-iriafen-991\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kiki Iriafen<\/a> Over 14.5 Points (-115) at Phoenix Mercury<\/p>\n<p>DraftKings Sportsbook, 4:50 p.m. ET<\/p>\n<p>Jason Shebilske: This line at DraftKings Sportsbook is appealing for multiple reasons Thursday. First, the odds on the over are -115 on DraftKings compared to -130 on FanDuel. Iriafen is also in the midst of a hot streak in which she&#8217;s scored at least 18 points in five consecutive appearances, including an 18-point performance against Phoenix on Tuesday. She was held to 12 points during Washington&#8217;s meeting with the Mercury on Aug. 9, but I&#8217;m expecting her momentum to continue during Thursday&#8217;s matchup, especially since the Mercury are now playing without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/dewanna-bonner-462\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DeWanna Bonner<\/a> in the frontcourt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WNBA best bets today: Free picks and player props for Aug. 27, including Breanna Stewart and Kiki Iriafen&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":873871,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,193229,82,630],"class_list":["post-873870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-minor-league-stats","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=873870"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873870\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/873871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=873870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=873870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=873870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
