Sean Barnard breaks down his favorite WNBA player prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Sunday’s three-game slate.
There are three games taking place across today’s Sunday WNBA slate. The action will open up at 4:10 p.m. ET in a matchup between the Golden State Valkyries and Las Vegas Aces. Then the Washington Mystics and Minnesota Lynx will square off before the New York Liberty and Los Angeles Sparks close down the action in the later slate.
With plenty of action on the table, there are plenty of ways to get involved with DraftKings Sportsbook. Here are my top player props for tonight’s WNBA slate.
Four-time MVP A’ja Wilson will help lead the Las Vegas Aces in their matchup with the Golden State Valkyries tonight. Wilson is posting averages of 26.1 points and 9.1 rebounds across her first 15 games played this season. She has recorded over 35.5 combined points and rebounds in eight of the 15 games played.
This is the third matchup between these two sides already this year. Wilson has finished with 28 points and 15 rebounds and 28 points and 14 rebounds in the pair of games. The Valkyries have an elite defense, holding opponents to the fewest points per game, but they rank 12th in opponent rebounds allowed and 13th in defensive rebounds conceded. Wilson pulls in 2.0 offensive rebounds per game and does a nice job converting these into scoring chances.
Wilson still has a firm place in the conversation for best player in the WNBA, and there is not a player on this Valkyries roster capable of keeping her in check. She has been in great form as of late, eclipsing her point prop in five of her past eight games played and recording over 35.5 combined points and assists in six of her past eight. She has eclipsed this line in both matchups with Golden State already this year, and expect the same in today’s matchup.
Olivia Miles has taken the WNBA by storm and is looking to bounce back from her first poor performance. The Notre Dame product is posting averages of 18.3 points, 5.6 assists and 4.9 rebounds across her first 16 games played. The 5-foot-10 guard is shooting 36% from beyond the three-point arc on 3.1 perimeter attempts per game. She is averaging 1.1 made three-pointers per contest and has made over 1.5 perimeter shots in four games. However, she has made as many as eight three-pointers in a game this season and has eclipsed this line in four of the past seven matchups.
Miles is coming off a poor performance against the Valkyries on Friday, in which she was limited to seven points, five rebounds and four assists. The second overall pick was held to 1-for-10 shooting from the field and missed all four of her three-point looks. Miles and the rest of the Lynx roster will be eager for a bounce-back spot as they take on the Washington Mystics today. Washington has struggled this season, ranking ninth in the league in opponent three-point attempts allowed, 11th in opponent three-point percentage and 13th in opponent made three-pointers per game.
While perimeter shooting is not at the top of the list of Miles’ best skills, she has shown an increased willingness to let it fly from deep. With this being a weakness in the Mystics’ defense, expect this to especially be the case tonight. Miles has tallied over 1.5 made three-pointers in four of her past seven, and expect her to be eager to let it fly to wipe away the previous poor shooting performance. Getting +115 odds is great value on DraftKings Sportsbook, and don’t be shocked if this game slips into blowout territory.
In the final matchup today, the New York Liberty will challenge the Los Angeles Sparks. Both sides have battled some turbulence in the early stages of the season, but the Liberty have done a nice job settling in, with Jonquel Jones a major part of this effort. The former MVP is posting averages of 13.9 points and 9.1 rebounds on the season, playing a major role in making up for the production of Sabrina Ionescu, as she has battled injuries.
But expect Jones’ presence to especially be felt on the boards tonight. Los Angeles struggles in this category, ranking 13th in rebounds per game and 11th in opponent rebounds allowed. This will be further magnified with Cameron Brink ruled out for tonight due to injury.
Jones is averaging 9.1 rebounds per game and has recorded over 8.5 boards in eight of her 15 games played. This includes eclipsing this line in seven of her past 11. Expect the rebounding battle to be a major factor in the matchup overall. But back Jones to pull her weight and attack the glass with ferocity, with 8.5 being a comfortable bar to clear. For the sake of the article, we will stick with the standard rebounding prop, but Jones to record 10+ rebounds at +133 odds or to record a double-double at +179 odds on DraftKings Sportsbook both also caught my eye. The five-time All-Star has tallied 10+ rebounds in six games this year and has five double-doubles to her name, with this being one of the most favorable matchups for her skillset.
