Best Alyssa Thomas Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Alyssa Thomas 10+ Rebounds (+110)
Alyssa Thomas has recorded a triple-double in five of her last eight games and has been the primary reason that the Mercury are currently in possession of the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. She has cleared this line in eight of her last 10 games, including six straight road games, and draws a solid matchup tonight against the Valkyries. Both of these teams rank inside the top four in defensive rating, so this should be a lower-scoring affair. Plus, the Valkyries have won four of their last five games, so Thomas will have to bring her best.
The 33-year-old forward failed to clear this mark in the Mercury’s most recent matchup against the Valkyries on July 14, grabbing just six boards and turning the ball over six times. Since then, however, Golden State has lost both Kayla Thornton and Monique Billings to injuries and is rather thin at the forward position. Thomas has averaged the third-most rebounds per game (10.6) across the last 10 games––trailing behind only Angel Reese and A’ja Wilson––and should continue that trend against the likes of Cecilia Zandalasini, Janelle Salaun and Temi Fagbenle, who have averaged a combined 11.5 rebounds per game in the same span.
