Gross Bombs: NFL Props for Week 16
Josh Gross
Thursday night gives us the third head-to-head season meeting between the Chicago Sky and New York Liberty. The teams split the first two games with both winning on their opponent’s home floor. Thursday, the Liberty will look to continue their dominance at home — they enter touting the best home record in the WNBA at (10-1).
Chicago Sky @ New York Liberty
Sky +410; Liberty -550; Total: 167 (DraftKings Sportsbook)
Reigning WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart is who we will be targeting. Stewart has dominated the Sky over her last six matchups, averaging 22.8 points, 12 rebounds and 4.6 assists. While the Sky are the best rebounding team in the league, they have still struggled with keeping opposing forwards off the glass. The Sky allow the second-most rebounds per game to opposing forwards and Stewart was able to grab 10 and 14 rebounds against them in the first two matchups this season. Stewart has been on an uptrend with rebounds over her last five games, averaging 12 per contest. Thursday, we’ll look for Stewart’s dominance on the glass and against the Sky to continue by taking her rebounds prop to go over.
