WNBA Player Props and Predictions: Featuring A'ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark and More

Tonight, we go from having a packed five-game WNBA slate to a calmer, two-game slate. Fewer games mean fewer WNBA Player Props to choose from, but that’s okay. It also means we can focus on a few from each game for today’s WNBA Player Props and Best Bets.

There may only be two games, but there will certainly not be a shortage of star power - especially when it comes to the top contenders in the WNBA MVP odds - with A’ja Wilson’s Las Vegas Aces taking on Paige Bueckers’ Dallas Wings. Following them will be Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever and the Golden State Valkyries.

Las Vegas Aces vs. Dallas Wings

• A’ja Wilson, Over 25.5 Points at +100

Wilson is a beast on the scoreboard, but this is a number she’s gone over just once so far this season (45 vs. Connecticut on May 15).  But if there is anyone who can turn in 26+ points on any given night, it’s Wilson.

She went over this total in 24 of 52 games last season and only twice in the first 12 games. But against Dallas, she scored 34, 14, and 37 points. The Wings are playing better defense this season, but their defensive rating ranks ninth in the league. It’s a risky wager, but the +100 odds make it a value play.

• Jessica Shepard, Over 9.5 Rebounds at -130

She averaged 7.3 per game last season with Minnesota, tied for the team lead with Napheesa Collier. Dallas has not been much of a rebounding team this season, but Shepard has been a one-person show on the boards for the Wings.

Shepard ranks third in the league in rebounding so far this season, averaging 10.1 boards per game. After a slow start to the season (she had 9,8, and 6 rebounds in the first three games), she’s gone double digits in the last four (16, 10, 11, and 11).

Teams are averaging 34+ rebounds per game against the Aces (12^th). The price is high, but this is a team she should pull down double-digit rebounds against.

Indiana Fever vs. Golden State Valkyries

• Caitlin Clark, Over 8.5 Assists at -130

Clark has averaged 9 assists per game and has not gone under that mark since the season opener, when she recorded 7 against Dallas. Golden State has one of the better defenses in the league and will undoubtedly be tough to score on. That also means there will probably be additional opportunities for Clark to spread the ball around and generate assists.

She had nine last Friday when the Fever hosted the Valkyries in Indianapolis. Take the over.

• Kelsey Mitchell, Under 19.5 Points at -110

Mitchell had 22 points in last Friday's home game vs. the Valkyries, but now she and the Fever are on the road. With only one road game under their belt, it is hard to say what kind of road team Indiana will be this season.

Golden State’s defense has been locking down on opponents at home, much like it did last season. In the two road games vs. the Valkyries last year, Mitchell scored 16 and 14 points. It looks like Golden State’s home defense has picked up where it left off. Take the under.

• Kayla Thornton, Under 5.5 Rebounds at -136

Thornton averaged seven boards per game last season but is off to a slower start this year with 5.3. She has gone over this total in three of six games, but pulled down only two against Indiana last week.

The Fever ranks first in the league in opponents' rebounds, allowing 29.2 per game. The three she went over this total against are ranked 10^th (Connecticut,  33.6), 14^th (Seattle, 34.9), and 15^th (Chicago, 38.3). Take the under.
