Angel Reese Sets WNBA Record

Reese's 13th straight double-double breaks Candace Parker's previous record of 12

Chicago center Angel Reese set a WNBA record on Sunday afternoon, recording her 13th consecutive double-double in the Sky's 84-71 loss to the Storm. She finished with 17 points and 14 rebounds, breaking Candace Parker's previous record of 12 consecutive double-doubles, set across the 2009 and 2010 seasons.

The No. 9 overall pick in this year's WNBA Draft, Reese is averaging 14.1 points and 11.85 rebounds per game. She leads the league in rebounding and is close to matching Sylvia Fowles' 2018 single-season rebounding record of 11.88, the highest in WNBA history.

Reese also isn't far off from Alyssa Thomas' single-season double-double record of 28, set just last season. With 20 games left on the Sky's schedule, the rookie would need to record a double-double in 15 of those games to tie Thomas' record.

With all eyes on Reese right now, FanDuel has odds dedicated to her double-double streak. You can bet on her to achieve this feat for the 14th consecutive time at -480. From there, the odds shift as the number of games increases: 15+ (-140), 16+ (+170), 17+ (+280), 18+ (+370). There isn't much value in betting on her to achieve 14+ at -480. Instead, you'd be better off parlaying her to exceed her points prop and rebound prop in her next game.

Rookie Of The Year Race

The Rookie of the Year race is heating up between Reese and the No. 1 overall pick, Caitlin Clark.

Just two weeks ago, Clark was favored at -900 to win the award, while Reese was at +1200. Since setting the record for consecutive double-doubles, the gap between the two has narrowed, with Clark currently at -470 and Reese at +250 on FanDuel.

There is some value in betting on Reese to win the award, especially if her double-double streak continues. However, Clark is still the clear frontrunner in my opinion. She recently became the first rookie in WNBA history to record a triple-double and is leading all rookies in points (16.1), assists (7.4), and 3-pointers made (2.7) per game.
