What&#8217;s important to note is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/cecilia-zandalasini-468\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cecilia Zandalasini<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/tiffany-hayes-229\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tiffany Hayes<\/a> were out or limited for most of those games. Since June 17, Burton has averaged only 8.3 attempts per game and has had double-digit attempts in just 10 of the past 32 games. Even in a high-scoring overtime game Wednesday, Burton finished with just eight attempts. Golden State is a team that goes at least nine players deep every game and spreads the ball around. Look for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/gabby-williams-484\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gabby Williams<\/a> to lead the scoring again, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/janelle-salaun-969\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Janelle Salaun<\/a> and a big rotation of Valkyries also get their fair share of looks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/paige-bueckers-979\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paige Bueckers<\/a> Over 18.5 Points (-115) at Golden State Valkyries<\/p>\n<p>DraftKings Sportsbook, 4:35 p.m. ET<\/p>\n<p>Steve Bulanda: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/paige-bueckers-979\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paige Bueckers<\/a> is coming off her lowest-scoring game since Aug. 2, as she shot just 3-for-13 in Wednesday&#8217;s overtime game. It worked out fine for Dallas, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/arike-ogunbowale-580\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arike Ogunbowale<\/a> set a WNBA playoff record with 45 points in the victory. Now in another win-or-go-home scenario, I&#8217;m expecting a bounce back from one of the most clutch players in the sport, and I think we&#8217;re getting good value because of the down game. Bueckers had scored 21 points in each of her previous two games at Golden State, and she has been one of the best road scorers in the league, accumulating at least 21 points in 13 of her past 15 away games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WNBA best bets today: free picks and player props for Friday, Oct. 2, including Paige Bueckers and Veronica&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":918274,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,193229,82,630],"class_list":["post-918273","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\/918273","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=918273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/918273\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/918274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=918273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=918273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=918273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
