WNBA Player Props and Best Bets: Kelsey Mitchell, Rhyne Howard, Allisha Gray, Angel Reese and More

WNBA fans will see a pair of games tonight with the Indiana Fever taking on the Dream in Atlanta and the Chicago Sky facing the Liberty in New York. Both games will be down key personnel, but they still have many intriguing WNBA Player Props for your betting pleasure.

Fever fans will have to wait until Saturday for the return of Caitlin Clark, and Chicago lost Courtney Vandersloot for the season to an ACL injury. So, who will be picking up the slack tonight?

Best WNBA Prop Bets for Tuesday, June 10

Kelsey Mitchell, UNDER 18.5 Points

If you are anything like me, you probably assumed Mitchell’s scoring would increase with Caitlin Clark out. But in the four games without Clark, Mitchell scored 14, 13, 24, and 17. In the two prior games between these two, Mitchell recorded 24 (May 20) and 17 (May 22).

The offense has not been bad since Clark’s been out, but it hasn’t been good either. There doesn’t seem to be a clear-cut plan for the offense. It looks more like they’re just making it up as they go along. Against a solid Atlanta defense, that does not bode well for any OVERs.

Rhyne Howard, to Record 4+ Assists

Howard is averaging 5.4 assists per game and has had at least five in her last three games and four of her last five. So, why is her total set at 3.5 if her average is so much higher? Because in two games against the Fever, she recorded three and two.

But those two games were also the second and third of the season. Since then, the offense has improved significantly, and Howard has fully embraced her role within it. But why not shoot a little higher and go for ‘to record 6+ assists’ at +310?

Because opponents are averaging just 16.4 assists per game against the Fever. It’s more likely she records four than six.

Allisha Gray, UNDER 18.5 Points

Gray is the leading scorer for the Dream with 20.1 points per game this season. While she only scored 11 points their last time out (vs. the Sun), she had solid nights in three of her previous four games (28, 25, 18, and 27 points). 

Why go with the UNDER when it looks like the OVER is not a bad idea? Because the Fever held her in check in both prior games (16 points and 11 points).

Angel Reese, UNDER 23.5  Pts + Reb

Reese is averaging 9.1 points per game and 12.3 rebounds per game. She had four points and 12 rebounds in Saturday’s loss to the Fever. That was against a decent Indiana defense. New York has one of the best in the league.

Someone has to pick up the slack with Vandersloot out. Reese is a solid candidate to do just that. But even if she does, the Sky offense will struggle against New York’s defense. She’ll still probably have a good night on the boards, but don’t expect her to score much.

Kamilla Cardoso, UNDER 6.5 Rebounds

Cardosa has been good on the boards this season with an average of 6.1 rebounds per game. However, she has fallen off her pace in the last couple of games, with five points against Dallas (May 31) and four against Indiana. She had four against New York when these teams played on May 22.

With the Sky needing to work on their new dynamic, minus Vandersloot, it may be wise to keep expectations for Cardosa and the rest of the roster in check.
