The entire WNBA slate on Wednesday, June 10, is a matinee, and rookies should demand attention in front of crowds filled with youth camp attendees. Backing a couple of rookies will lead our free WNBA picks.

Let’s look through the Liberty vs. Sun, the Dream vs. Sky, and the Mystics vs. Fever.

Prop bet #1: Jonquel Jones’s Busy Morning

The Connecticut Sun are not a strong rebounding team, one of a few reasons to doubt them as viable title contenders. In Connecticut’s rotation, only Alyssa Thomas grabs more than 12.2% of available rebounds.

Jonquel Jones spends most of her time on the glass, pulling in 16.6% of available rebounds. In four of her last five games, she has found 11+ rebounds, averaging 10.4 in the stretch.

This thought does not need to be any more complicated than that. The Sun are not strong on the boards, and Jones is.

But to add to the thought, Connecticut heavily relies on its five starters, each playing more than 24 minutes per game and only Tiffany Mitchell then adding more than 13 minutes, at 16.4. Of those six players, only DeWanna Bonner and Brionna Jones stand taller than 6-foot-2, at 6-foot-4 and 6-foot-3, respectively.

At 6-foot-6, Jones should enjoy a few default rebounds, as well.

Jonquel Jones prop: Over 9.5 rebounds (-108 at FanDuel)
