We’ve got an impressive five-game WNBA schedule on deck for September 1, with playoff implications and a string of contenders in action.

Big games mean big player props and my WNBA picks are looking at the latter end of the slate, including the in-form Indiana Fever’s visit to the Dallas Wings and a must-see clash between the Las Vegas Aces and Phoenix Mercury.

Today's best WNBA player props bets

Prop bet #1: Caitlin Clark Over 30.5 points + assists

-114 at FanDuel

Caitlin Clark's odds keep rising in her glittering rookie season, and she’s flying on the heels of a career-high 31 points against the Chicago Sky on Friday.

I’m predicting another masterpiece today in this battle with the Wings. The 30.5 O/U line for Clark’s points + rebounds feels within reach, given the way she’s shooting the ball. Indiana's phenom has gone past that number in five of her last seven outings, and she’s made at least three triples in every game since the Olympic break.

Clark’s assist numbers are steady, too, with the young guard averaging 8.3 apg and racking up 12 dimes in just 32 minutes against the Sky in her last appearance.

With Dallas likely resigned to this being a high-scoring game, we should see a big total. The Wings had allowed a combined 200 points in their past two games before a better effort against the Minnesota Lynx on Friday, and this feels like a recipe for Clark to put on another show.

Prop bet #2: A'ja Wilson Over 37.5 points + rebounds

-118 at FanDuel

As long as A’ja Wilson is healthy, the Las Vegas Aces’ three-peat dreams are still alive and kicking — and the stage is set for another big-time performance today.

Wilson is doing her best to guide the Aces through the rockier patches this year. She led the way with 26 points and 16 rebounds against the Atlanta Dream on Friday, just a few nights after dropping 42 points on the Dallas Wings. 

The points + rebounds line for Wilson is a lofty 37.5 here, but the volume should be there, especially with her minutes creeping up in the past two contests.

Wilson should take around 20 shots, and she'll surely add to the 58 free throw attempts she had in seven August outings. Even with so many scoring options for the Aces to count on, it all starts with her ability to score in the paint.

The frontcourt battle could be decisive this afternoon, and I like Wilson to deliver a do-it-all stat line powered by double-digit rebounds.

Prop bet #3: Rickea Jackson Over 14.5 points

-110 at FanDuel

The Rickea Jackson breakout year is showing no signs of slowing down, and this has become one of my favorite props this season. Jackson’s emergence as a secondary scorer next to Dearica Hamby is a silver lining for the Los Angeles Sparks in a rough 2024 campaign.

She poured in 19 points in the Sparks’ shock win over the New York Liberty this week and produced a 25-point masterclass against the Wings last weekend. The arrow is clearly pointing up as we head into the final weeks of the season.

Jackson is 13-for-19 on 3-pointers in her last three games, and while that accuracy isn’t sustainable, the forward is capable of scoring in different ways.

Jackson is shooting the ball at a 47% clip this year overall and 77% from the free-throw line. She also has a 16-point effort under her belt against this Atlanta team from earlier this season and has eclipsed 14 points in four straight. Expect her to make that five straight tonight.
