Today's best WNBA player props bets
Prop bet #1: Clark double-double
I don’t blame you if the +700 odds for a Caitlin Clark triple-double are too good to pass up.
It’s just that a player averaging 5.9 rebounds per game, while crossing 10 rebounds three times all season isn’t exactly encouraging for those prospects.
That being said, Caitlin Clark has been an offensive dynamo over the last six games, securing a double-double in points and assists in each.
Her latest was a 29-point, 13-assist effort in a loss to the Washington Mystics. She also added five boards, five steals, and three blocks.
Clark and the Indiana Fever draw the Phoenix Mercury, a team that they dispatched at the end of June in an 88-82 win. The top pick in the 2024 WNBA draft had 15 points and 12 assists, also adding nine rebounds.
Phoenix has won three straight, but it’s allowed 86 points per game over that stretch. That ninth-ranked defense is something Clark should be able to work over, and keep her hot streak going,
Caitlin Clark prop: Record a double-double (-160 at bet365)
Prop bet #2: Wilson Under 27.5 points
Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson is coming off a monster effort in Seattle, scoring 24 points, grabbing 20 boards, while adding four blocks and three steals in an 84-79 win.
That helped Vegas to its eighth win in nine games and into a Top-4 seed in the WNBA.
Wilson leads the W in scoring at 26.9 points per game, and has been given a 27.5 line Friday when the Aces take on the Atlanta Dream.
The Dream are reeling, having dropped five in a row, but to their credit, none of their opponents has topped 28 points against them on this slide.
Wilson did hit 28, along with nine boards and four blocks against Atlanta in a 78-74 loss in late May — the second-lowest scoring output for Vegas all year.
However, the Aces aren’t going to need Wilson’s A+ game in this one, and this should follow the script of Atlanta’s previous losses: A lot of players getting theirs in handing the Dream another L.
Shop around on this one, because every point matters — a reason we went away from 26.5 at bet365 and punched our ticket with DraftKings.
A'ja Wilson prop: Under 27.5 points (-110 at DraftKings)
Prop bet #3: Lloyd Over 21.5 points
After a couple of tough back-to-back performances against the Chicago Sky — where she shot a combined 11-for-34 for 33 points — Jewell Loyd got back to cooking against Vegas.
The WNBA’s fourth-leading scorer finished with 28 points in an 84-79 loss, marking the fourth time in six games Loyd has scored 26 or more points.
Her line against the Lynx Friday is a reasonable 21.5, a figure she cruised by the last time her Seattle Storm met Minny, finishing with 25 points in an 83-64 loss.
The Lynx sport the second-best scoring defense in the league, allowing 73.9 points per game. But you know Loyd won’t be bashful: she’s hoisted more than 20 field goal attempts in back-to-back games, and is fourth in the league at better than 17 field goal attempts per contest.
Jewell Loyd prop: Over 21.5 points (-115 at bet365)
