Best Bets for Friday, June 28
Alyssa Thomas Under 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120) vs. Atlanta Dream
DraftKings Sportsbook, 11:15 a.m. CT
Kirien Sprecher: Without Rhyne Howard, who's sidelined indefinitely with an ankle injury, the Dream have looked horrible, posting a minus-46 point differential over the last three games. I expect Connecticut to blow this one open early, and I don't see Thomas playing enough minutes to surpass this lofty mark.
Diana Taurasi Under 4.5 Assists (-154) vs. Los Angeles Sparks
FanDuel Sportsbook, 3:00 p.m. CT
Jason Shebilske: Taurasi has been fairly reliable as a scorer for the Mercury this season, but she's averaging just 2.3 assists per game, which is on track to be the lowest mark of her career. She's had at least five assists in a game just twice this season, both of which have come in her last five appearances, but especially if the Mercury pull ahead early, I expect the team to manage Taurasi's workload.
Kahleah Copper Under 21.5 Points (-125) vs. Los Angeles Sparks
FanDuel Sportsbook, 3:00 p.m. CT
Jason Shebilske: Copper has been one of the most productive players for the Mercury to begin the 2024 season, but she's been more inconsistent on the scoreboard recently, including a nine-point game against the Lynx on Saturday, her second-lowest scoring total of the season. Copper was held to 12 points in the Mercury's first meeting with Los Angeles this season, a blowout win, and I expect her workload to be somewhat limited if Phoenix pulls ahead early once again Friday.
