The WNBA Playoffs have reached a historical milestone, as Saturday will mark the first Game 7 in WNBA Finals history.
The Dream managed to stay alive Thursday with a dominant 80-69 win that arguably wasn’t even as close as that margin suggests. However, they’re now back at Chase Center, where Golden State has prevailed in two of three games during the series.

Best WNBA Saturday Player Props
- Tiffany Hayes Over 15.5 Points + Rebounds
- Rhyne Howard Over 22.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Tiffany Hayes Over Points + Rebounds
We haven’t rolled with Hayes on any props during these Finals, but that changes for Saturday’s elimination game. The veteran guard has consistently proven capable of producing in this series, scoring between 12 and 15 points in each of the last five games while also recording between three and six rebounds in all but one contest.
Hayes came into Thursday’s Game 6 loss already shooting 46.5% since Game 2, and she then proceeded to drain 60.0% of her 10 attempts in the defeat. She’s posted points + rebounds tallies of 16 and 15 in the last two home games in this series as well, and Hayes has also recorded 28 double-digit scoring tallies while posting at least four rebounds on 12 occasions since the start of the regular season.

Rhyne Howard Over Points + Rebounds + Assists
Howard delivered again in Game 6 on Thursday, posting 29 points + rebounds + assists across 38 minutes while shooting 54.5%, including 66.7% from behind the arc. That put Howard’s record to the Over on the 22.5 PRA at 5-1 for the series, as she’s consistently found a way to deliver offensively despite the Valkyries’ well-earned reputation for suffocating defense.
Howard also averaged 21.0 points + rebounds + assists in three regular-season games against Golden State, and she has PRA tallies of 23 and 27 against the Valkyries in two of the first three games of the series at Chase Center. With everything on the line Saturday and Howard putting up between 11 and 15 shot attempts in all but one game this series, the Over is in play again.
