Best WNBA Bets Today: Friday, October 2
Veronica Burton Under 9.5 Field-Goal Attempts vs. Dallas Wings
PrizePicks, Betr, Underdog, 4:35 p.m. ET
Steve Bulanda: Veronica Burton was more of a volume shooter early this season when she had at least 12 field-goal attempts in five of her first seven appearances. What's important to note is that Cecilia Zandalasini and Tiffany Hayes 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 Gabby Williams to lead the scoring again, while Janelle Salaun and a big rotation of Valkyries also get their fair share of looks.
Paige Bueckers Over 18.5 Points (-115) at Golden State Valkyries
DraftKings Sportsbook, 4:35 p.m. ET
Steve Bulanda: Paige Bueckers is coming off her lowest-scoring game since Aug. 2, as she shot just 3-for-13 in Wednesday's overtime game. It worked out fine for Dallas, as Arike Ogunbowale set a WNBA playoff record with 45 points in the victory. Now in another win-or-go-home scenario, I'm expecting a bounce back from one of the most clutch players in the sport, and I think we'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.
