WNBA Player Props and Best Bets for Tuesday, September 17

With five games scheduled, bettors will have plenty of markets to choose from, from the traditional betting line to one of many WNBA player props. Since most games have playoff implications, bettors may not need to worry about players not starting or seeing action.

Of course, with so many games, reviewing each one for the best prop bets and picks can be challenging. But that's what we're for. Here's our list of the best WNBA player props and picks for tonight's five-game slate.

Minnesota Lynx vs. Connecticut Sun

• Location:  Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT

• Game Time & Date: 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 17

• Coverage: WNBA League Pass

• Point Spread: Lynx -1.5

Napheesa Collier, O/U 19.5 Points at -106/-122 at FanDuel

For the seventh time in 13 games (since the break), Collier finished UNDER 20 points Sunday vs. the Liberty. She had 31 points vs. the Sun early in the season when teams were still working the kinks out. But then she only put up nine points in the July 4 game vs. the Sun.

While she can be a factor on the scoreboard, Collier hasn't been at her best regarding scoring since the break. We don't expect her to have a big night against the No. 1 defense in the league. Take the UNDER.

Marina Mabrey, O/U 14.5 Points at -104/125 at FanDuel

It's quite a surprise to see her total still this low. Mabrey has been shooting well lately and scoring 15+ points in five of seven games this month and ten in 14 since the break. That could mean she's overdue for a less-than-stellar night. But it could also mean she's found her rhythm on offense.

Take the OVER.

DeWanna Bonner, O/U 13.5 Points at -122/106 at FanDuel

It is almost hard to believe that Bonner averaged just over 19 points per game at the end of May. By the end of June, her average was down to 16.7 points per game. Since the break, she's been scoring at an even slower clip, 12.9 ppg. Bonner had UNDER 13.5 in four of seven games this month.

Against the Aces on Sunday, she put up just six points. Don't expect much more from her tonight against one of the top defenses in the league. Take the UNDER.

New York Liberty vs. Washington Mystics

• Location:  Entertainment & Sports Arena in Washington, D.C.

• Game Time & Date: 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 17

• Coverage: NBA TV

• Point Spread: Liberty -8.5

Breanna Stewart, O/U 20.5 Points at +100/-130 at FanDuel

New York must win to lock down the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. So, the Liberty will need Stewart to continue to play as well as she has of late (25 points per game in her last seven including three 30+ point nights).

Chances are she will not put up 38 points like she did Sunday night in a win over Minnesota, but we'd bet on her scoring more than 20.5 points. Take the OVER.

Sabrina Ionescu, O/U 2.5 Made Threes at -138/+104 at FanDuel

Ionescu had an off night from behind the arc vs. the Lynx, hitting just two of 12 attempts. But she has been solid since the break, hitting 3+ in eight of the 11 games she has played. In her three previous games vs. the Mystics, she's a combined 8-19, with 3+ in two.

However, since the break, Washington has had solid perimeter defense; opponents have made a league-low 29.8% of their three-pointers. So, if you want to go with the UNDER, we understand. But we are taking the OVER as the Liberty lock down the No. 1 seed in the playoffs.

Stefanie Dolson, O/U 9.5 Points at +102/-132 at FanDuel

Dolson has been good for just under 10 points per game this season, while fellow center Shakira Austin has averaged 11.9 ppg. With Austin out for this game, it would not be shocking to see Dolson get into double digits. However, she only scored two vs. the Dream on Sunday despite seeing 32 minutes.

In the three games vs. the Liberty earlier in the season, she scored 12, 2, and 7 points.

We want to lean towards the OVER here since the Mystics will fight for their playoff lives. But Dolson's lack of success vs. the Liberty and failure to hit a shot on Sunday gives us pause.

Chicago Sky vs. Atlanta Dream

• Location:  Gateway Center in College Park, GA

• Game Time & Date:  7:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 17

• Coverage: WNBA League Pass

• Point Spread: Dream -6

Rhyne Howard, O/U 18.5 Points at -104/-125 at FanDuel

Howard is having a hot-n-cold month. She's gone from dominating the floor and scoring 30+ points in three consecutive games to struggling to score 14, 11, and 14 points the last three games. But with their playoff hopes on the line, what will she do?

Fans are, of course, hoping for another 30+ point night. But we don't have much confidence in her right now. Struggling against Minnesota is understandable, and having trouble one night vs. Washington is, too. But two?

Chicago has a questionable defense, but we feel she's gone cold. This contest would be the right game for her to blow up and have a big night, but we're not confident she'll have a decent night and go OVER her total. We're leaning toward the UNDER.

Chennedy Carter, O/U 19.5 Points at -125/-104 at FanDuel

Carter has taken control of the offense down the stretch for the Sky with 28, 16, 17, and 20 points in her last four. In three games against Atlanta, she scored 15, 26, and 19 points. The Dream have played decent defense down the stretch, allowing just under 79 ppg (sixth).

We want to say take the OVER, but too many signs point toward the UNDER here.

Las Vegas Aces vs. Seattle Storm

• Location:  Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, WA

• Game Time & Date:  10 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 17

• Coverage: NBA TV

• Point Spread: Aces -5

A'ja Wilson, O/U 27.5 Points at -110/-110 at FanDuel

• O/U 11.5 Rebounds  at -140/+106 at FanDuel

Wilson had 29/11, 27/9, and 24/20 points/rebounds in three games vs. the Storm earlier in the year. She had 29 in Sunday's game vs. the Sun. The Aces need to win tonight for homecourt advantage in the first round. 

Seattle has one of the better defenses in the league, but it has been mediocre since the break, giving up 81+ points per game. With home-court advantage on her mind, look for Wilson to have a big night.

Take the OVER for her point total. While she only had nine boards on Sunday, we are still leaning toward the OVER for her rebound total.

Kelsey Plum, O/U 17.5 Points at +104/-135 at FanDuel

Plum is second on the team in scoring with 17.7 points per game this season. She's averaged 18.6 ppg in her last five but had 9, 18, and 14 in her last three. In three games against Seattle, the Storm kept her somewhat contained (18, 13, and 11 points).

We think they may do it again, so we're leaning toward the UNDER.

Phoenix Mercury vs. Los Angeles Sparks

• Location: Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, WA

• Game Time & Date: 10:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 17

• Coverage: CBSSN

• Point Spread: Mercury -3

Diana Taurasi, O/U 2.5 Made Threes at +158/-215 at FanDuel

The game doesn't mean anything, so there is the chance the Mercury will sit certain people (like Tarasi) or pull them early. Kahleah Copper is out until the playoffs; it wouldn't be shocking to see Taurasi or Griner sitting, too.

Assuming she does play around 30 minutes (her season average), we like the value in betting the OVER here.

Rickea Jackson, O/U 16.5 Points at -104/-125 at FanDuel

• To score 25+ points at +620 at FanDuel

Expectations are understandably low for players on a struggling team not headed for the postseason. But if there is anyone who will take the opportunity to shine once or twice before the season ends, it's a rookie.

Jackson has played almost 37 minutes per game in the last five and scored 17, 23, 16, 22, and 22. Don't be shocked if she sets a new season high in this game (current high—25 points). Take the OVER and use a bonus bet on to score 25+ (if you have one).
