Sunday's Best WNBA Player Props & Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Connecticut Sun at Atlanta Dream Under 157.5 Total Points (-110)
We kick things off in Atlanta, where the Dream will be playing their second game in as many days, while the Sun are fresh from a heartbreaking late defeat against the Minnesota Lynx. The Sun were one quarter away from winning their first contest of the season, yet fell completely flat in the fourth quarter, conceding a 12-point lead with 8:45 remaining.
Connecticut and Atlanta are scoring a combined average of exactly 157 points to start the season, which is quite the total to live up to. This will be the second leg of a back-to-back for Atlanta, and the Sun have already ruled out stating point guard, Lindsay Allen, who left Friday's contest in the first quarter after suffering a hamstring injury.
If not for the stellar performances from Marina Mabrey and Haley Peters, the Sun might have scored even fewer than the 70 points produced against Minnesota. Connecticut is averaging 66 points over their last two games, while Atlanta has not reached their suggested total of 85 points in two straight contests.
Considering the back-to-back scheduling for the Dream, and the questionable efficiency options for the Sun, who are shooting below 40% as a team, we will side with the Under in this contest.
Azura Stevens 15+ Points (+140)
This is a surprising return in profit for the amount of points necessary to clear. Azura Stevens is averaging 15.3 on the season, and is coming off a contest where the veteran sharp-shooter only fired-up three attempts.
Stevens has scored 15+ points in two out of the four games played for LA this season, while connecting on an astounding 55.9% from the field. Chicago are allowing the most points of any team over their first two contests, giving up 96.0 points per game.
The Sky have been the most gracious behind the arc, where the team is allowing 13.0 three-pointers per game on 47.3% shooting. Stevens has connected on five-of-eleven shots from 20-24 ft, and one out of two from 25-29ft.
The forward for the Sparks is shooting over 46% from beyond the arc, and already has played two contests resulting in 20 points or more. The Sky are the perfect opponent for Stevens to have success against, so we will take the plus return on 15+points scored.
Las Vegas Aces at Seattle Storm Under 162 Total Points (-110)
This selection is primarily based on defense more than anything. However, the Aces and Storm combine for only 151.7 points, which is almost ten points below our suggested total. It's usually a scary scene when the threshold for points is in such contrast to recent scoring. This becomes even more odd considering these two teams are only conceding a combined 149 points per game.
Las Vegas and Seattle make up two of the three fewest amount of three-pointers allowed, and their opponents are shooting less than 30% from behind the arc. In regards to pace per 40 minutes, these two teams perform at the slowest in the league.
There's simply no way we can champion the Over on what seems to be such a disparity between the scoring totals. The fact the Aces and Storm rank in the top three in regards to limiting points only reinforces our decision.
Phoenix Mercury Halftime/Full Time Winner (-115)
The 2025 season was already going to be a tough one for the Washington Mystics due to an over abundance of youth. Things only get worse for the team if their most reliable scoring option, Brittany Sykes will once again be sidelined with a right leg injury.
As of this time there are very little to no prop options available for Washington's players, which means availability is highly in question. Make sure to check back later in the day on the BettingPros app for all the latest, and up to date information.
The Mystics have two wins on the season, however, one of which came against the Connecticut Sun, a team that has yet to record a victory this season. Washington has lost two consecutive contests, and have not scored over 74 points over that span.
Whereas the Mercury are 2-1, with wins against the Seattle Storm, and Las Vegas Aces-- both own 2-1 records. Phoenix ranks in the top six in regards to points scored, and own an offensive rating of over 100 to begin the 2025 campaign. If the Mystics can't keep up with the scoring this contest could be over early. We will take the Mercury to have the lead at half time, as well as at the end of the game.
Alyssa Thomas Over 16.5 Points (-105)
Alyssa Thomas is having a masterful start to the 2025 season. The veteran who now dons a Phoenix Mercury jersey after 10 years in Connecticut, is posting career-high numbers in points, field-goal attempts, and field-goal percentage.
Thomas is scoring over 18 points per game in the first three contests for Mercury, while shooting 52.4% from the field. The point forward for Phoenix makes up 31.4% of field-goals made for the team, with a usage rate of 28.4%.
Thomas finished the previous contest just short of the 16.5 threshold for tonight, scoring 16 points on a rough 7-for-19 from the field. In the worst shooting performance of the season, Thomas still managed to finish first in points against the Seattle Storm.
Washington is not nearly on the level of defensive prowess as the previous opponent for the Mercury, and we are going to take advantage of that. This appears to be a fantastic spot for Thomas to finish with 17 points or more.
Enjoy the games today, and good luck with your picks!
