Best WNBA Bets Today: Thursday, June 26
Dearica Hamby to be Top Points Scorer (+600) at Indiana Fever
FanDuel Sportsbook, 12:45 p.m. CT
Steve Bulanda: If you're looking for a longshot, look no further than Hamby to be the top scorer in tonight's matchup against Indiana. Top forwards and centers in the league have had plenty of success against the Fever, and Hamby is an All-Star level player. She has six games with at least 19 points this season, while teammate Kelsey Plum (+195) has seven and Indiana's Kelsey Mitchell (+120) and Aliyah Boston (+650) have five each. Mitchell has back-to-back 20-plus point games, and you might think that she'll be even more productive since Caitlin Clark has been ruled out. However, the stats show that everyone is better when Clark is running the offense. When Clark was out for five games earlier this season, Mitchell only topped 17 points once, and Boston averaged only 11.0 points per game.
Jewell Loyd 2+ Three-Pointers Made (-110) vs. Washington Mystics
DraftKings Sportsbook, 3:55 p.m. CT
Jason Shebilske: After this prop hit in the first quarter during Wednesday's blowout win over the Sun, we'll go back to the well a night later in hopes that Loyd can make multiple threes for the sixth time in her last seven appearances. FanDuel has significantly worse odds on this prop at -136 at the time of publishing, but DraftKings' odds make this wager appealing for Thursday. The Mystics have a better three-point defense against opposing guards than Connecticut, as guards have made 31.7 percent of their three-point attempts against Washington, compared to 37.9 percent against the Sun. However, Loyd has had plenty of volume from distance recently, so I expect her to hit the over once again.
