WNBA Best Bets Today (Predictions, Prop Bets for Marina Mabrey, Chelsea Gray, Sun-Lyn

The WNBA semifinals did not disappoint on Sunday as the New York Liberty won a hard-fought game against the Las Vegas Aces and the Connecticut Sun pulled off an upset on the road against the Minnesota Lynx.

Even though the Aces didn't cover the spread for our best bets on Sunday, the Sun-Lynx UNDER prevailed 1-1.

It was an all-around impressive game for the Sun, who overcame a deficit early in the fourth quarter to win as 4.5-point underdogs. They're the one side I'm targeting again in Game 2.

As for my other plays in Game 2, I'm sticking with a pair of props with two of the best guards in the game.

Marina Mabrey OVER 2.5 Yield 3s (-172) – 0.5 units

Let's start with a prop for Connecticut guard Marina Mabrey, who has made at least 10 shots from distance in each of her three playoff games.

Mabrey has gone 5 of 12, 3 of 10 and 6 of 11 from three games – and made some big shots in Game 1 against the Lynx on her way to 20 points.

Volume for Mabrey is key here as she has played an even bigger role in recent games with the injury to Ty Harris (ankle).

During the regular season with the Suns, Mabrey averaged 2.6 three-point shots on 6.2 attempts per game. Now that she's scoring 11 goals per game in the playoffs, there's a good chance she'll score at least three goals on Tuesday night.

Chelsea Gray OVER 4.5 assists (-138) – 0.5 units

A big reason for the Aces' loss on Sunday?

Chelsea Gray wasn't having it.

The star point guard shot just 2 of 7 from the field and had just one assist in the loss, but I expect Gray to bounce back as a passer on Tuesday.

So far in the playoffs, Gray has seven, nine and then one assist in three games. She averaged 4.9 assists per game during the regular season, despite playing limited minutes at times due to an injury that caused her to start the season late.

Gray has had five or more dimes in six of her last eight regular season games, and I expect her to get back to her usual form in a must-win Game 2.

Connecticut Sun +5 (-108) vs. Minnesota Lynx – 0.5 units

Are we sure the Sun will be five-point underdogs in Game 2?

I do believe Minnesota can get back into the series on Tuesday night after a cold fourth quarter (only eight points) doomed the first game, but I'm not convinced by a huge margin.

These two teams are No. 1 and 2 in the league in defensive rating and two of the slower teams (why we won the UNDER in Game 1) at No. 12 (CT) and No. 10 (MIN).

So it's obviously difficult to build a big lead on both sides.

Connecticut has done well on the road this season (12-9), and I was really impressed with how they weathered the storm after falling behind late in the third quarter.

If Ty Harris returns in this series, The Sun could be favorites to win promotion. I want them to at least keep Game 2 closed on Tuesday.
