Top 5 WNBA Player Prop Bets
Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook
Bridget Carleton Higher 2.5 Three-Pointers (+125)
The Minnesota forward has benefited from an increased role on the floor in terms of minutes and production. Carleton is averaging over 36 minutes of playing time over the last four games, scoring 13 points per game and knocking down 13 three-pointers.
The seven-year veteran produced a 23-point performance in the 2024 Commissioner’s Cup against the New York Liberty, including six baskets from beyond the arc.
Carleton faces off against a Dallas team that has been unable to stop the opposition from scoring. The Wings give up the second-most points per game, allow over seven three-pointers per game, and own the second-worst defensive rating.
The positive action is a bit concerning, considering the Minnesota forward has exceeded this total in six of eight games. However, this seems like a fantastic spot for someone who is shooting over 43% from three-point range.
Jackie Young Higher 27.5 Points Rebounds Assists (+100)
With the return of Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young gets to revise her role as one of the team’s most prolific scorers long options, while still assuming partial play-making responsibilities.
Gray is still currently on a minutes restriction. Until the limitation has been lifted in full, Young has the opportunity to post some massive numbers in regards to a combination of points, rebounds, and assists. The Las Vegas guard is averaging 18.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.9 assists on the season. These numbers rounded out would get us home, yet today’s opponent makes this selection even more enticing.
The Chicago Sky concede over 80 points per game on 43.6% shooting from the field, with a 48.7% efficiency shooting percentage, and allow over 25 points each contest between turnovers and fast-break points.
Young will look to bounce back after an awful offensive turnout against the Connecticut Sun. We feel the opponent and the current role put her in a fantastic position to clear the 27.5 points, rebounds, and assists.
Kamilla Cardoso Lower 10.5 Points (-115)
The Chicago rookie has recently taken on a much more productive role on the offensive end over the last six games, with an average of 11.6 points. The issue with today’s total of 10.5 points scored is that the shooting percentages are simply all over the place, ranging from 80.0% to 36.4%. This type of fluctuation in efficiency plays much better against opponents who lack length and defensive shot-blocking capabilities.
The Las Vegas Aces are certainly not that team. Not only do they allow the third-least amount of points in the paint to opponents, but the team gives up less than 10 points per game off of second-chance opportunities.
Aside from that, A’Ja Wilson and Kiah Stokes have combined for 48 blocked shots on the season. The team as a whole is averaging 4.4 blocks in each contest.
If Cardoso is unable to make an impact in the paint or on second-chance opportunities, as well as complications due to the shot-blocking prowess of the Aces, this could be a rough showing for the Chicago forward.
Di’Jonai Carrington Higher 12.5 Points (-115)
On to quite possibly our favorite selection of the day, where the Connecticut guard has an opportunity to absolutely feast on one of the worst defensive teams in the WNBA.
Before a let-down performance against the Seattle Storm on June 23, Di’Jonai Carrington was playing some of the most productive basketball to date. She averaged 11 points in only 22.75 minutes of playing time in the eight games prior.
Washington allows the opposition to score just under 82 points per game, the fourth-highest shooting percentage across the league. The Mystics also allow 7.8 three-pointers per game, the second-highest free throws made by opponents, and give up 17.5 points off turnovers alone.
Expect Carrington to also see a few extra shot opportunities and minutes, with Moriah Jefferson set to miss at least three weeks after injuring her ankle, which will require surgery.
Jewell Loyd Lower 28.5 Points Rebounds Assists (-115)
Jewell Loyd hasn’t had the best stretch over the past four games, and to be quite honest, it’s clearly evident something is wrong. Whether it be a possible injury or even something else, there has been a drastic change in production for the Seattle Guard.
Before these last four contests, Loyd was averaging 20.4 points and 6.5 rebounds. Since then, those numbers have dipped drastically to 12.5 points and 2.5 rebounds. The assist averages have increased from 3.3 to 4.5, which also shows a much more passive approach.
There aren’t many matchups that favor the guard position in a more positive light than against the Indiana Fever; that has to be stated. However, we are talking about a drop-off over nearly eight points and four rebounds baked into a suggested total of 28.5 points, rebounds, and assists.
The total is just too high to feel confident in due to the recent play and its obscurity€”regardless of the opponent at this current juncture.
Enjoy the games today, and good luck with your picks!
