Lynx vs. Liberty props

Prop Bet #1: Breanna Stewart Over 20.5 points

-115 at DraftKings

Breanna Stewart is coming off the lowest-scoring game of her 2024 playoff run, scoring just 11 points on 5-for-21 in New York's 82-80 loss in Game 4.

Because she was plagued by nasty problems from an early age, she was never able to find her rhythm in a hostile environment.

At home, however, Stewart will need to be a key player to win the franchise's first title.

She has already shown great ability to get back on her feet. After a poor performance in Game 2, where she shot 6 for 21 and finished with 18 points, she bounced back in Game 3 with 21 points.

Look for one of the WNBA's most accomplished big-game players to lock down.

Sabrina Ionescu More than 2.5 threesomes

-115 at DraftKings

Sabrina Ionescu chose the worst time in the playoffs for her worst long-range shooting performance.

The 26-year-old went 0-for-5 from distance – the first goosebumps of these playoffs – including a last-second lob that would have won the game (and the title) at the buzzer.

I expect this to be the outlier performance and that Ionescu will bounce back significantly.

In the postseason, Ionescu exceeded her 2.5 mark seven times in ten games, achieving a crisp 40% rate.

She hit at least three triples in five of six home games in the playoffs.

Prop Bet #3: Courtney Williams 7+ assists

+115 at DraftKings

If Minnesota plans to clinch the title in Game 5 on the road, it needs to be all hands on deck, and that means Courtney Williams needs to get everyone involved.

Williams holds a top-six spot in the 2024 playoffs, and she's at the top of the list right now.

Last time she put in another exceptional all-round performance with 15 points, seven assists, four rebounds and one steal.

Williams has collected seven or more assists in three straight Finals games and she has reached that mark in five of her last seven playoff games.

Look for her to stay trendy and take advantage of these plus chances to get at least seven assists again.
