Best WNBA Prop Bets 2024 08 28

Connecticut Sun vs. Indiana Fever

  • Location: Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN

  • Game Time & Date: 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday, August 28

  • Coverage: NBA TV

  • Point Spread: Sun -3 at FanDuel Sportsbook

Caitlin Clark, O/U 19.5 Points at -110/-110 via FanDuel

  • O/U 3.5 Made Threes at +124/-166 via FanDuel

  • Made Threes Leader at +135 via FanDuel

Clark has faced Connecticut three times this season and scored 20, 17, and 10 points in those games. But the last of those games was on June 10. Clark and the Fever have evolved since then. Well, enough to take on one of the toughest defenses in the league? 

On the road? Eh. But at home—it's possible.

This contest will be one of the season's best games, with both teams scoring around 80+ points in a tight contest. If you feel like the Fever can pull out the win, take the OVER for her point total and made threes; chances are good she leads the game in made threes, too.

But if you think the Sun will take care of business, take the UNDER for both.

Marina Mabrey, O/U 13.5 Points at -132/-106 via FanDuel

The Sun wants to work Mabrey into the fabric of the offense more and will probably not have too much trouble doing so against Indiana's lackluster defense (83.3 points per game allowed since the break). 

As long as she continues to get 12-14 shots, we don't see the Fever holding her under 13.5 points. Take the OVER.

Washington Mystics vs. Chicago Sky

Angel Reese, O/U 15.5 Points at -122/-106 via FanDuel

  • O/U 14.5 Rebounds at -118/-112 via FanDuel

Reese has been ridiculous on the boards since returning from the break, with 20+ in her last three games and 15+ in four of her last five. While 14.5 is a pretty high total for rebounds, Reese has been crushing it lately, and it's unlikely Washington will slow her down. Take the OVER.

As for her point total, she has scored over 15.5 once since the break (five games). But with Chennedy Carter out, it would not be shocking to see Reese pick up enough of the slack to go OVER her total.

Stefanie Dolson, O/U 10.5 Points at -102/-128 via FanDuel

Dolson does not tend to factor into the offense too much when she's on the court. She has a season-high of 23 (twice), the most recent coming on Aug. 17 vs. a solid Minnesota defense (she went 8-8 from the court, including 6-6 from three-point range).

She averages 10 points per game but has gone over 10.5 just twice in her last ten games (once in her last four). Take the UNDER.

New York Liberty vs. Los Angeles Sparks

  • Location: crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA

  • Game Time & Date: 10 p.m. ET on Wednesday, August 28

  • Coverage:  NBA TV/ Spectrum Sports Net

  • Point Spread: Liberty -12.5 at FanDuel Sportsbook

Breanna Stewart, O/U 20.5 Points at +104/-135 via FanDuel

Stewart has been leading the charge for the Liberty on the scoreboard in the last four games. She scored 33 and 17 points in back-to-back home games vs. the Sparks in June. While Sabrina Ionescu is back in the lineup after being out for a couple of games last week, we expect Stewart to lead the team in scoring once again.

Against one of the worst defensive teams in the league, that means take the OVER.

Sabrina Ionescu, O/U 19.5 Points at +100/-130 via FanDuel

Ionescu has been back in the lineup for two games after missing two last week. In those games, she focused on long-range shots; 12 of 13 were three-point attempts vs. Connecticut, and 10 of 17 were vs/ Phoenix.  She'd need an incredible night from deep to go OVER 19.5.

But it is possible against a poor defensive team like the Sparks. We're leaning towards the UNDER but may take the OVER as one leg of a same-game parlay.

Dearica Hamby, O/U 16.5 Points at -114/-114 via FanDuel

The struggle has been real for the Sparks, who have lost their last seven games. It looked like they'd get their first win since the break against the Wings Sunday, but then they gave up 40 points in the fourth quarter and lost by three. 

In those games, Hamby scored more than 16.5 points just once. She had 21 points vs. Dallas. Against a solid defensive team like the Liberty, it is doubtful that she will get back on track tonight. Take the UNDER.

Minnesota Lynx vs. Phoenix Mercury

  • Location: Footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ

  • Game Time & Date: 10 p.m. ET on Wednesday, August 28

  • Coverage: Mercury Live/ Bally Sports North Extra

  • Point Spread: Lynx -3.5 at FanDuel Sportsbook

Napheesa Collier, O/U 21.5 Points at -114/-114 via FanDuel

  • To Score 25+ Points at +172 via FanDuel

Collier has been on fire since returning from the break. Collier is averaging 25.6 points per game in the five games since the break. Take away the 17-point night she had in the first game, and she's averaging 27.8 points per game (in her last four).

While Phoenix held her to UNDER this total in the first two meetings this season, there is no reason to think they can slow her down this time.  Take the OVER. At +172, betting on her to score 25+ points has value.

Kahleah Copper, O/U 19.5 Points at +100/-130 via FanDuel

When you're struggling with your shot, the last thing you want to do is play a solid defensive team like the Lynx. But with Copper scoring 21, 34, and 23 in the first three games vs. Minnesota, she has proven she's up to the challenge vs. the Lynx. 

A good argument could be made to take the OVER or UNDER, but the plus-money odds have us leaning toward the OVER.

Atlanta Dream vs. Seattle Sun

  • Location: Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, WA

  • Game Time & Date: 10 p.m. ET on Wednesday, August 28

  • Coverage: WNBA League Pass  

  • Point Spread: Storm -8.5 at FanDuel Sportsbook

Ezi Magbegor, O/U 11.5 Points at -125/-104 via FanDuel

Magbegor has scored over 11.5 points in 18 games but just once in her last five (including a six-point night vs. Atlanta). She is a capable scoring threat but is not the team's primary or second-best option. 

So, because they are facing a decent defensive team, we're leaning towards the UNDER even though it's a home game for the Storm. However, she is averaging 13.4 points per game at home this season.

Skylar Diggins-Smith, O/U 13.5 Points at -118/-110 via FanDuel

Diggins-Smith is unique in that she seems to do her best work when playing on the road, where she averages 16.4 points per game compared to 11.3 at home. In three road games since the break, she averaged about 20 points per game. But then, in Monday's home game, she put up ten.

In her last ten home games, she scored over 13.5 points twice. Take the UNDER.

Jordin Canada, O/U 10.5 Points at -113/-106

Since the break, she has scored 10.5+ points in two games and under it in three; to be fair, in two of those games, she scored 10. She doesn't take more than 11 shots and is making roughly 40% of her shots. Because she makes less than half of the few shots she attempts, we're leaning toward the UNDER.
