Look no further if you need help sifting through the many player prop options. Read on to see our favorite WNBA player prop picks and best bets for tonight's games.

Connecticut Sun vs. New York Liberty

• Location: Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY

• Game Time & Date: 7 p.m. ET on Saturday, August 24

• Coverage: WNBA League Pass

• Point Spread: Liberty -7.5 (odds via FanDuel)

Sabrina Ionescu, O/U 20.5 Points at +100/-130

O/U 3.5 Made Threes at +142/-192

Ionescu has been scoring 20.4 points per game at home this year, but in her last five home games, she's averaged 30 points per game. She missed the last couple of games with a minor neck injury. She is expected to be active for tonight's game against the Sun. 

Assuming she does play, she'll likely be ready to go full speed; if the injury were a lingering issue, they'd likely continue to hold her out.

Connecticut's defense has been one of the better ones this year. However, Ionescu scored 24, 21, and 30 points in three games vs. the Sun. In those games, she was 2-6, 1-3, and 6-11 from three-point range.  

The Sun's defense should be a concern, but it is not. Ionescu has had Connecticut's number this year and probably will for one more time. Both props could easily finish UNDER their totals, but we are leaning towards the OVER.

Breanna Stewart, O/U 19.5 Points at -102/-128

O/U 8.5 Rebounds at +112/-148

Stewart has been impressive lately, averaging 22.5 points in her last five games, including 26 and 19 in the two without Ionescu. In the two games vs. the Sun she played in, she scored 18 (July 10) and 13 points (June 18).

With Ionescu expected to return, it would not be shocking to see her take a small step back. So, we are leaning toward the UNDER.

As for her rebounding total, she is averaging 8.8 per game. But she has had 4, 7, 12, and 7 in the four games since play resumed. With how the OVER and UNDER are priced, we see no value in taking the UNDER. But the plus-money odds make the OVER  a solid play.

She had 14 in the July 10 game vs. the Sun and seven in the June 8 contest.

Marina Mabrey, O/U 13.5 Points at +100/-130 (odds via bet365)

In her four starts with the Sun, Mabrey has scored 17, 11, 5, and 24 points. Normally, that kind of production would scream 'stay away' to us. However, prior to Friday's 24-point outing vs. Chicago, there were rumors online that the team wanted to do a better job of working her into the offense.

Of course, scoring on the Sky is easier than scoring on the Liberty, especially when facing New York on their home court (76.7 points per game allowed at home this season; 73 ppg allowed in their last five home games).

Consequently, we don't think she'll come close to 24 points, but we are leaning towards the OVER.

Indiana Fever vs. Minnesota Lynx

• Location: Target Center in Minneapolis, MN

• Game Time & Date: 7 p.m. ET on Saturday, August 24

• Coverage: NBA TV/Bally Sports North Extra

• Point Spread: Lynx -5.5 (odds via FanDuel)

Caitlin Clark, O/U 19.5 Points at -106/-122

O/U 2.5 Made Threes at -180/+134

A month ago, we'd have recommended the UNDER across the board. But Clark and the offense are flowing right now. Minnesota has one of the better defenses in the league, though it has been underperforming recently.

Then again, it just held A'ja Wilson to 24 points and seven rebounds in an 87-74 win for the Lynx.

But with how well Indiana has been playing, we do not see Minnesota slowing Clark down too much (if at all). She'll score 20+ points in this game, so take the OVER for her point total. As for her three-pointers, while she has hit 3+ in her last two games, she failed to hit 2+ in her previous four.

There is no value in the OVER, but in the UNDER-- absolutely.
