Best WNBA Wednesday Player Props
- Angel Reese Over 26.5 Points + Rebounds
- Gabby Williams Over 22.5 Points + Rebounds
Angel Reese Over Points + Rebounds
Reese has been excellent over the first two games of the series, posting points + rebounds totals of 26 and 46 points while shooting an impressive 55.6 percent overall. The stellar production isn’t entirely surprising, considering Reese also averaged 26.3 points + rebounds over three regular-season meetings with Golden State, despite shooting just 36.1% in that sample.
Reese has averaged 21.2 field-goal + free-throw attempts per game against the Valkyries in five meetings with Golden State since the start of the regular season, so the usage has consistently been there. Reese has also averaged 28.5 points + rebounds per contest at home since the start of the regular season, so this prop is certainly within her reach.

Gabby Williams Over Points + Rebounds
An abysmal shooting night left Williams short of this same prop in Game 2, as she went just 3-for-15 from the floor, including 1-for-6 from three-point range. Williams had been inefficient during Game 1 as well – she went just 8-for-22 from the floor – but the additional volume played a role in getting her to 26 points.
Williams averaged 22.6 points + rebounds in three regular-season games against the Dream and shot 51.2%, including 41.2% from behind the arc, in that sample, so there’s reason to believe the struggles so far in this series can be reversed.
Before the Game 2 dud, Williams had enjoyed success with respect to the Over on this prop, averaging 27.8 points + rebounds over the previous seven games despite shooting a middling 43.4%. Atlanta has also surrendered the second-highest shooting percent of any team on its home floor since the start of the regular season (47.3%), furthering the case for the Over.
