We’ve got a busy day of WNBA action on tap for Tuesday, with five games taking place across the league this evening. That means plenty of options with some intriguing matchups on the board tonight.
When it comes to player props, I’m taking a look at a couple of leading scorers – Arike Ogunbowale and Breanna Stewart – though I’m only picking one to have a big night tonight. I’m also look at Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier to continue her hot shooting to start the season.
Let’s dive into my favorite bets of the day in my free WNBA picks for Tuesday, May 27.
WNBA player prop bets for May 27
Ogunbowale Under 17.5 points (-102)
Stewart Over 18.5 points (-105)
Collier Over 1.5 made threes (+150)
Today's best WNBA player props bets
Arike Ogunbowale Under 17.5 points (-102 at FanDuel)
Arike Ogunbowale has been one of the most consistent scorers in the WNBA over the past six seasons, averaging 20.4 ppg for her career. But she’s off to a slow start in 2025, putting up just 12.5 ppg so far in her first four games.
That start includes a surprising two games where Ogunbowale has been held to single digits. She is shooting a shockingly low 28.6% from the floor to start the year, and just 21.4% from three-point range. While we can expect those numbers to bounce back eventually, those aren’t numbers that signal a typical slump: they suggest an underlying issue that will have to be fixed.
While the Connecticut Sun are rebuilding and might make tonight look like a reasonable spot for Ogunbowale to put up points, I’m not sure that’s really the case. The Sun play at the slowest pace in the WNBA, and have seemingly leaned into that approach as a way to keep games close, holding each of their last two opponents below 80 points.
Ogunbowale has only scored 18+ points once in her first four games, and that only came when she played 35 minutes last Wednesday. I don’t see that usage being repeated tonight, and in a slow-paced, low scoring game against Connecticut, I’m taking the Under on her scoring total.
Breanna Stewart Over 18.5 points (-105 at BetRivers)
Like Ogunbowale, Breanna Stewart is also off to something of a slow start in 2025, though her struggles haven’t been nearly as stark. Stewart is averaging 17.7 ppg, and is doing so efficiently, shooting 51.5% from the field.
Stewart put up 25 points against the Las Vegas Aces in the New York Liberty’s opener, but has been relatively quiet in their last two wins. Still, the Liberty have still shown that they are an offensive juggernaut, scoring at least 90 points in each of their first three games. That’s the kind of production that means Stewart will continue to get opportunities to score each night, even if she’s not always the primary option in every matchup.
But Stewart should dominate tonight against the expansion Golden State Valkyries. Yes, Golden State is off to a surprising 2-1 start on the year, but let’s not get too excited over a team that is clearly looking toward the future in its first WNBA season. The likes of Temi Fagbenle and Monique Billings can’t contain one of the WNBA’s greatest players – I’m taking Stewart to go Over 18.5 points tonight.
Napheesa Collier Over 1.5 made threes (+150 at Caesars)
The Minnesota Lynx are off to a 4-0 start, and the play of Napheesa Collier has been a big part of that run. Collier is putting up 29.5 ppg to start the season, and hasn’t scored less than 23 points in any of Minnesota’s first four contests.
Collier has been given a ton of volume as a shooter, and that’s what I’m targeting tonight. In three of her first four games, Collier has hit at least two shots from beyond the arc, part of a dynamic offensive approach that has seen her both extend the floor and get to the rim to draw fouls.
Does this mean that Collier is turning into a more consistent three-point threat? It’s hard to say, but she’s certainly shooting from deep more often and more accurately than in any prior season. With a big plus number on Collier to get to her total of 1.5 threes tonight, I’m banking on the trend continuing and betting on the Over.
