WNBA Season Prop Thread Preview Just a reminder, these are relatively unstructured thoughts going into the season. Not every player is covered and some teams have much more depth. Prop threads are two weeks away! ***Indiana Fever*** ○ While the Liberty, Aces, Wings and Dream were making splashes in free agency, the Fever had a much more reserved approach, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Gone is Natasha Howard, who despite being a former MVP was a horrendous fit on this Fever squad as she provided zero floor spacing and did not fully understand her role as the 4th option in this offense. In is Monique Billings, who averaged 7.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game for the expansion Valkyries last year. ○ I recognize that those stats are not better than Natasha Howard's 11.4 points and 6.6 rebounds last year but there were way too many instances where Natasha Howard was played off the floor due to her slow foot speed causing her to be a major defensive liability. ○ Monique will bring a better presence defensively and is a much better playstyle fit alongside Caitlin as evidenced by their chemistry on team USA this summer. HC Steph White said as much, "She's a good defender, hard rim runner, hard roller on ball screens and a good rebounder". ○ This offseason, Aaliyah Boston dominated in Unrivaled and then got a well-deserved raise by the Fever. I expect big things from Aliyah Boston this year, but probably not in the way you all are thinking. ○ Last year, it was difficult to project which Aaliyah Boston we were going to get on a given night but that wasn't her fault, it was due to inconsistencies on getting her the basketball and her more involved role as a facilitator herself. With Caitlin Clark back in the mix, that should change. ○ In the last two years, we've seen heavy pressure being put on CC, especially off PNRs with bigs stepping up to try and stop CC's 3s which leaves AB wide open barreling down the paint. And while I expect her to exceed her 15 PPG average from last year, what I am really excited about is her 3s props and assist props. Steph White noted they wanted her to take at least 3 attempts a game last year (up from 0.7) and that it was a priority for AB to continue working on her 3s this year. It's a big IF, but if we get 3s props, it would be worth grabbing those early for AB. ○ We saw AB operate as a point forward often last year, but we couldn't seem to get good prices on her assist numbers. This is something I'll be monitoring early in the season with her involvement in the passing game (especially with Monique). We could also see her rebound numbers drop a bit more from her 8.2 a game and 5th best orb per game of 2.4 due to her presence away from the paint and with Monique on the team. ○ Given Kelsey Mitchell's hospitalization after last year's semi-finals game and CC's hamstring issues last year, minutes early in the season will be worth monitoring. Steph White was adamant that that they need to manage minutes early and that they need to establish a true cadence and true rotation. ○ I anticipate we see Lexie starting with Sophie coming off the bench. ○ As for the remainder of the rotation, I would imagine the rest of the minutes will be divided amongst Myshana Hines-Allen, Tyasha Harris, Shitori Walker-Kimbrough, Raven Johnson, Makayla Timpson and Damiris Dantas. For some reason, the Fever went HEAVY on guard and have little depth at the big spots which is certainly a concern for me as well. Dantas is a liability most of the time and Timpson is quite raw.

PENN - ILLINOIS BEST BET Michael Zanoni O 9.5 Points (-122 FD / PLP / PP) - 0.35u - Penn 🧑‍🍳 w/ @KadeBets WE ARE 7-2 TO START THE TOURNAMENT SO FAR! GET THE VALUE -> WHOP.COM/THE-SLIP-CLUB Zanoni, the son of two Illini alumni, will play in his first tournament game tonight, coincidentally against Illinois and his former teammate (Mercer) Jake Davis. Penn will be without leading scorer Ethan Roberts, and potentially even 2nd leading scorer TJ Power, who did not practice Wednesday due to illness. Even if Power plays, its likely his condition will positively benefit Zanoni, along with Roberts' absence. Without Penn's leading scorer active, Zanoni has 8, 11, 23, 23, 12, 9 points on 7, 15, 17, 14, 12, 10 combined FGA/FTA. To add context to the two misses, he only played 25 minutes in the game with 8 points and TJ Power nuked with 44 points in the game with 9 points. Neither will happen today. Diving deeper into Zanoni's season, he has averaged 11.6 pts/game, but this number jumps to 15.9 in games where he plays at least 30 minutes, a mark he achieved in 5/6 games without Roberts (37 in all 5 such games). Earlier this year, Zanoni scored 30pts vs Providence and 23 vs GMU, both games vs more talented opponents. Illinois has struggled all year to stop off-ball screens, which Zanoni is heavily involved in, and he loves to take the mid range shots (99th %ile FGA) that Illinois wants and allows opponents to take. In games without Roberts, Zanoni has taken almost 1/5 of Penn's FGA as a team, averaging 9.7 non-paint FGA per game (11.4 FGA/game incl. paint shots).

CBB Conf Champ Week Saturday Play🏀🚨 Kenyon Giles O 20.5 PTS [Wichita St] play pts to 21.5, PA to 22.5 👨‍🍳 @IFinishThings Giles and his Wichita St Shockers find themselves in a great situation on Saturday, as their opponent Tulsa just had a 3OT slugfest akin to Rocky vs Creed, where it was obvious both teams had completely run out of gas. This only helps a guy like Giles, an unbelievable chucker (avg 16.6 FGA/g), who has taken 45 shots in 2 games vs Tulsa this season. Outside of solid history against this team, Giles also comes into this game having scored 22 pts in 6 out of his last 7 games. Tulsa has often opted to shut off the water to secondary and tertiary scorers, allowing high usage players to get up plenty of shots: Riley - 26pts (21fga/12fta) Giles - 31pts (27fga/4fta), 17pts (18fga/2fta) Stevenson - 21pts (22fga/10fta), 19pts (18fga/3fta), 21pts (14fga/6fta) Enis - 32pts (21fga, 3fta), 20pts (11fga/8fta) Simpson - 20pts (17fga/4fta) Ford - 23pts (11fga/5fta) With a 1.5pt spread and the season on the line, Giles should scarcely leave the floor and shoot at least 17 times; with 17 FGA and 36 mins, Giles has gone over in 11/15 games. When Wichita also surpasses 65 points as a team, he has scored 22 in 11/12 matchups. Against bottom 6 AAC teams by rim paint FGA% allowed: Memphis - 18ppg, 39 shots in 2 games (14, 22) ECU - 25.5ppg, 38 shots in 2 games (27, 24) USF - 23ppg, 44 shots in 2 games (22, 24) UTSA - 28ppg, 28 shots in 1 game (28) Tulsa - 24ppg, 45 shots in 2 games (31, 17) Charlotte - 25ppg, 42 shots in 2 games (27, 23)

🌟CBB Thursday Play🌟 Joel Foxwell O 24.5 PA [Portland] // -130, Fliff Bumps fine up to 26.5 or splitting 19.5pts / 5.5ast The WCC first round kicks off tonight with Portland vs Pepperdine, where the losers will see their season end, while the victors will play again tomorrow in hopes of an AQ spot to the NCAA Tournament. Foxwell's Pilots come in as 2.5pt favorites, projected for 77 PTS tonight. These teams have already faced off twice, where Foxwell had 20 PA (TT = 63) and 43 PA (TT = 87) despite losing both games to the Waves. Pepperdine's defense is atrocious, allowing just shy of 84 PPG to WCC opponents, including over 17 assists per game. The main beneficiaries of this poor defense are high usage guards who are capable of abusing the drop coverage run by big men Dozic and Cicic, the latter being a freshman who is extremely slow. As Dozic has missed the last few games, Cicic has been forced to play more, leading to the already horrific defense somehow getting worse - up to over 85 PPG and 18 AST allowed per game over their L5 games. The key in this matchup is that Foxwell leads the WCC in FGA/game, but does significantly better against the drop coverage defenses of the WCC; in games vs these defenses, playing 35 mins and with a TT of 67 : Pacific - 27/1/7 (24 FGA FTA), Pepperdine - 35/1/8 (31 FGA FTA) Zags - 27/4/8 (22 FGA FTA) LMU - 17/4/5 (21 FGA FTA) SMC - 27/3/5 (29 FGA FTA) Oregon - 21/2/8 (21 FGA FTA) *AVG: 25.7 PTS / 2.5 REB / 6.8 AST / 24.7 FGA FTA* Foxwell has taken at least 21 FGA FTA in every game vs drop with those parameters, which are priced for his floors in minutes and 11 points below the team's projected total, a number that every team except Portland (1st matchup) has gotten against the Waves. When looking at guards to shoot 20 FGA FTA vs Pepperdine, we can see dramatic success: Ace Glass - 22pts, 23fga fta Josiah Lake - 18pts, 20fga fta Joel Foxwell - 35pts, 31fga fta Myron Amey - 25pts, 23fga fta TJ Wainwright - 27pts, 22fga fta Christian Hammond - 20pts, 21fga fta Gavin Sykes - 23pts, 20fga fta Joshua Ward - 19pts, 20fga fta (0 FTs) Quinn Denker - 26pts, 28fga fta Laolu Kalejaiye - 38pts, 22fga fta - non D1

🌟CBB Tuesday Play🌟 Zuby Ejiofor O 33.0 FS [St. John's] - PP Bumps playable to 35.5 In what is set to be an emotional Senior Night sendoff for Ejiofor, the Johnnies rematch the Hoyas, where Zuby had 25/10/7 and 3 stocks (54.5 FS) in the first matchup. Now, with friends & family in attendance for his celebration tonight, we can only expect him to play excellent once again. “We need to get everybody behind the Georgetown game, get the place packed, because Zuby [Ejiofor] deserves that,” HC Pitino said after Saturday’s 89-57 win over Villanova, “He has given so much to this program, every single day he has gotten better and we really need to show up for that game because our seniors deserve it, but most importantly Zuby deserves it.” Zuby has cleared this line in 15/26 games this year, including 12/18 conference games. He has averaged 36.4 FS/game (1.22 FS/min) on the year, and 38.4 FS/game (1.25 FS/min) in Big East play. As St. John's comes in to tonight's game as 17.5pt favorites, we can expect them to take care of business vs the dreadful Hoyas. In wins with 27 minutes, Zuby has > 33 FS in 13/17 games (9/12 in wins with 30 mins). Average FS in wins with.. 27 mins: 39.2 30 mins: 42.2 Big East players who avg > 1 BLK/game vs Gtown, min. 25 mins: Carroll - 37.6, 37.7 FS (avg 33.6) Reed - 46.7 FS (avg 34.1) Hines - 44.5 FS (avg 21.2) - szn high Oswin - 33 FS (avg 25.3)

AJ Storr O 14.5 PTS [Ole Miss] (bumps fine to 15.5) 👨‍🍳@Jacesprizepicks Storr comes into tonight clearing this line in his last 7 games, as he has excelled off the bench (but playing starter minutes) for the Rebels. Now, he gets the deep Texas drop coverage which has allowed at least 15 points to a ball-dominant G/F in every SEC game: Johnson - 35pts (35 FGA FTA) Pack - 23pts (24 FGA FTA) Hall - 31pts (30 FGA FTA) Wilkinson - 17pts (19 FGA FTA) Oweh - 18pts (22 FGA FTA) Griffen - 17pts (8 FGA FTA) Miles - 21pts (21 FGA FTA) Philon - 21pts (24 FGA FTA) Gillespie - 34pts (23 FGA FTA) Hubbard - 38pts (46 FGA FTA) Storr to this line with: 12 FGA FTA: 11/15 15 FGA FTA: 10/12 18 FGA FTA: 6/7 20 FGA FTA: 6/6 (17 pts in each)
