Quick Slate Preview + What Props Am I Playing Today?

We have two games today featuring Sky vs Dream and the Wings vs Aces. We'll quickly run through these two matchups and then focus in on what props I'll be playing.

Sky vs Dream

How do the Dream matchup with the Sky’s defense?

First thing we can notice based on the player shot profiles and the defensive stats, Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard look to be shooting a lot of threes tonight. The one that stands out more for me is Allisha Gray who can get downhill off drives using the pick & roll. Players with 20% or higher drive fga rate have all done fairly well facing this Sky defense. Some examples would include Kelsey Plum (28 Pts), Kelsey Mitchell (15 & 17 Pts), DiJonai Carrington (15 & 16 Pts), Sabrina Ionescu (16 & 23 Pts) and Satou Sabally (20 Pts).

Brittney Griner has a low 12.5 line which is low for her but last game she was in foul trouble that limited her to just 15 minutes.

“BG picked up those...two quick fouls. Uh, so that was a situation where we were going to just play her like two or three minutes at a time so that we didn't get her in too much foul trouble. Uh, so we would have her down the stretch if we needed her.”

When looking at her games with 20+ minutes (as she’s now had two games with just 15 minutes as they were cautious with her), she is averaging 15.4 ppg and averaging 27.8 mpg. The Sky are average defending the paint as well, but they also don’t allow many rebounds, being in the top 3. Only two players have reached 9+ rebounds vs the Sky and both of them were in the same game (Clark 10 & Boston 13). Both Jones and Griner have low enough lines that they have a chance to go over even in tough matchup.
