Fri Aug 01 07:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Gambler Hopes Rookie Sensation Paige Bueckers Will Salvage WNBA Bets After Veteran Flop

**DALLAS, TX -** A sports gambler, identified as an author from the Sports Gambling Podcast Network (SGPN), is banking on Dallas Wings rookie sensation Paige Bueckers to turn their luck around after a disastrous WNBA prop bet on Thursday. The gambler lamented Golden State Valkyries’ Tiffany Hayes scoring zero points despite having a projected 13.5 points.

Now, the focus shifts to Friday’s game at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, where the Wings will face the Indiana Fever. The gambler’s “SGPN Prop Bet” centers on Bueckers, the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s WNBA Draft, exceeding her points total.

Despite Bueckers’ season average of 18.3 points per game, the gambler is particularly encouraged by her previous performances against the Fever, where she scored 21 and 27 points in two earlier matchups. “Paige Buckets” is also riding a hot streak, topping 20 points in four of her last seven games, including her last two.

The gambler further highlights the Fever’s subpar defense, ranked eighth in the 12-team league in defensive rating, making Bueckers’ potential for a high-scoring game even more promising.

The “Best Bet Prop Play” is Paige Bueckers over 17.5 Points (+100).

This bet follows a string of unsuccessful picks for the SGPN author, who currently holds a 21-31 record, reflecting a -$555.19 loss (based on $100/bet) and an ROI of -11%.

The Sports Gambling Podcast Network offers various sports gambling content, including college basketball, soccer, NASCAR, and UFC picks.
