Rebounding rate may not be the most glamorous of basketball thoughts, but there are some particularly atrocious rebounding teams in the WNBA this season, and running against them inspires these WNBA picks on Monday, June 22.

Aneesah Morrow Over 10.5 rebounds (+102)
No team in the WNBA is worse on the glass than the Chicago Sky, ranking last in rebounding rate both across the season and in the month of June. There is an obvious poetry to that failure, given the franchise’s delight in removing Angel Reese from its future.
No one on the Connecticut Sun roster is better on the glass than Aneesah Morrow, corralling 25.5% of available rebounds, nearly double the rate of the second-best rebounder genuinely within Connecticut’s rotation.
Morrow has cleared this prop in four of her last seven games, finding 10 boards in two more of those, and only one of those chances came against Chicago. She had 17 rebounds in that game in early June, a performance that may be replicated tonight simply because the Sky are that bad on the glass.

Paige Bueckers Under 18.5 points (-113)
No team in the WNBA is worse on offense than the Seattle Storm, ranking last in offensive rating both across the season and in the month of June. Seattle’s offensive rating in June is further from the second-worst in the WNBA (the Mystics) than the gap between No. 14 and No. 8.
Only one defense in the WNBA has been better in June than the Dallas Wings.
That could create an argument that Dallas will have plenty of transition and secondary transition opportunities, but even in those moments, Paige Bueckers has long preferred to move the ball around to her teammates. If she has a basketball flaw, it is too often looking to set up teammates rather than take contested shots herself.

When the Wings blew out the Storm on June 1, Bueckers had seven assists while scoring just 10 points, playing only 24 minutes in a 23-point win. A blowout should again lessen her minutes, while her mindset in a blowout will lessen her scoring.

Angel Reese Over 12.5 rebounds (+102)
Only a tenth of a percentage point separates the Toronto Tempo from the Sky’s rebounding woes in June. Angel Reese should have a field day against such misery.
She has done so a couple of times recently. Reese has faced both the Sky and the Tempo in the last two weeks, grabbing 17 rebounds in each win, even though the latter was a 25-point rout that kept Reese to just 27 minutes.

Reese does more than rebound well against wretched rebounding teams, but she absolutely excels in this regard.
