Veronica Burton Under 17.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)

In her recent games, she has been averaging fewer points and boards than we'd like to see. When looking at how many free throws and three-pointers she typically makes, her numbers suggest she might struggle to hit that 17.5 total. The risk here is that the game could be tightly contested, which might lead to fewer opportunities for her to score and grab rebounds. With the Golden State Valkyries facing off against the Portland Fire at Chase Center, expect both teams to play tough defense. This makes the under on Burton's points and rebounds a smart choice, given the current trends. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 if it lands.
