Best WNBA Monday Player Props
- Rhyne Howard Over 22.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
- Veronica Burton Over 13.5 Points + Assists
Rhyne Howard Over Points + Rebounds + Assists
Howard had somewhat of a modest start to the series over the first two games, but she’s significantly picked it up in the subsequent pair of contests. Howard averaged 26 points + rebounds + assists in Games 3 and 4, while putting up 21.0 field-goal + free-throw attempts per contest.
That type of usage may or may not be sustainable over the rest of the series, but we’ll back on the urgency of Monday’s game helping up the odds of another busy night. Howard has been a very productive player on the road all season as well, as she’s averaged 23.4 points + rebounds + assists across 34.5 minutes per game outside Gateway Center Arena.

Veronica Burton Over Points + Assists
Burton’s production can certainly be erratic at times, but her modest line accounts for some of that uncertainty. This series has been a good example of the ups and downs, as Burton has posted points + assists tallies of eight, 13, seven and 18 over the first four contests. Shooting inefficiency has been a notable part of the problem, but being back home could help coax one of the fifth-year guard’s better performances.
Burton has averaged 16.8 points + assists per home game since the start of the regular season, a sample where she’s shot 40.8%, including 37.7% from behind the arc. She’s put up 14.0 points + assists per contest in seven games against Atlanta since the start of the season, and the Dream also has surrendered 34.9% three-point shooting on the road since the beginning of the campaign.
