Best WNBA Bets Today: Thursday, August 21
Kiki Iriafen to Record a Double-Double (+145) at Connecticut Sun
FanDuel Sportsbook, 11:15 a.m. CT
Steve Bulanda: When Washington traded away leading scorer Brittney Sykes at the deadline, it was a clear message that the team wanted to focus on the development of Iriafen and Sonia Citron. The rookies have responded, raising their already All-Star level play. Iriafen has scored at least 10 points in nine of her last 10 appearances, so that's pretty much a lock. She also has double-digit rebounds in five straight outings and eight of her last 12 appearances. In three outings against Connecticut, she has averaged 12.7 points and 10.3 rebounds. Iriafen may not get her 10th rebound until late in the 4th quarter, but at +145, it will be worth the sweat.
Sabrina Ionescu Under 19.5 Points (-135) vs. Chicago Sky
FanDuel Sportsbook, 3:45 p.m. CT
Jason Shebilske: Ionescu is one of the league's most prolific scorers, but she's been in a bit of a slump in recent weeks following her 36-point outburst against the Sun on Aug. 3. She's scored 18 or fewer points in each of her last seven appearances, and even though the Sky have given up the most points to opposing guards of any team in the league this season, Ionescu could still struggle to reach the 20-point threshold, especially if the score gets lopsided early.
