Lynx vs. Liberty Game 5 Prediction
There was one prop play I recommended for both Game 3 of this series and Game 4. Both hit and both offered plus odds. It’s Breanna Stewart to be the leading rebounder in the game. When she nabbed 11 rebounds in Game 4, we netted +160 on that prop. When she pulled down 11 boards in Game 3, we netted +155.
Even though the number for this prop has dropped to +140, it’s still a great play. Jonquel Jones did lead both teams in rebounds in Game 1 of this series, but Stewart has dominated the glass ever since. There’s no reason to shy away from a prop that continues to produce and continues to give us plus odds.
Lynx vs. Liberty Game 5 WNBA Prediction: Breanna Stewart Rebound Leader (+140)
