Friday’s Best WNBA Player Props & Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Sophie Cunningham 2+ Three-Pointers (-113)
The Indiana Fever make their second home appearance against the Washington Mystics. Sophie Cunningham's first outing at home left a lot to be desired offensively. The Fever enter this contest as 10-point favorites, which means there is favorable expectation for Indiana to put up points. Cunningham should highly benefit from a high-scoring contest being played at home.
The guard for the Fever has knocked down two three-pointers in two games played. Cunningham is shooting 50% from beyond the arc. The Missouri alum sank the only attempt made at home against Dallas in the opening contest for Indiana. Cunningham attempted five three-pointers in the last matchup in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The jump in attempts is exactly what has us excited for this selection. Cunningham connected on 40% of three-point last season, and has made at least two baskets from above the perimeter in 7-of-10 games for Indiana.
H2H Points Sonia Citron vs Aliyah Boston: Sonia Citron (-140)
This selection return the lowest payout, yet we believe it subsequently represent the largest edge. Aliyah Boston is coming off a dreadful performance, where the South Carolina product finished the contest with more fouls than points. Whereas Sonia Citron continues to pour on the points over the first two games for the Mystics.
Aliyah Boston has scored 27 points over two games for the Fever. Unfortunately the forward for Indiana spent most of the previous contest in foul trouble before fouling out in the fourth quarter. Boston did not make a field goal against the Los Angeles Sparks, and only put up three shots in 23 minutes. The Mystics front court is led by Shakira Austin, Kiki Iriafen, and Lauren Betts, so scoring is going to be tough for Boston against all that size.
Sonia Citron is averaging 21.5 to start the 2026 campaign while playing 35 minutes each contest. The young guard is shooting a remarkable 54.2% from the field on 24 attempts. The efficiency and shot volume is more than enough reason to take Citron on this head-to-head points battle.
A'ja Wilson 24+ Points (+100)
A'ja Wilson has opened the 2026 season failing to score 24 points or more in all three contests played. The center for the Aces was on the floor for only 22 minutes when the Aces last faced the Sun on Wednesday. Regardless of the negatives, Wilson is in a tremendous spot to score at least 24 points in the second matchup in three days against Connecticut.
The reigning MVP is connecting on over 50% of attempts from the field and 40% from beyond the arc through three games. Wilson scored 22 points in only 21 minutes on the floor Wednesday. The center for Las Vegas hoisted up 15 attempts, as well as made nine trips to the free throw line.
If Wilson is going to take 15 shots and nine free throw once again, then this is a fantastic way to return a positive profit. At some point the veteran center is going to go on a torrid scoring pace and you absolutely want to be in front of that. The Sun have allowed at least 89 points in all three contests. The opportunity to score will surely be there for Wilson. It all boils down to playing time.
Marina Mabrey 20+ Points (-115)
As is the case with Sonia Citron earlier, Marina Mabrey continues to produce at a high level in regards to scoring. The Tempo will be looking to build on their first win of the team's maiden voyage in the WNBA. Los Angeles have been quite gracious towards opponent scoring, and this could turn out as one the best bets of the night.
Mabrey is scoring 26.5 points through the first two contests for New York. The veteran guard scored at least 20+ points in each game, while shooting 40% from above the perimeter. Mabrey has drained 9-of-20 three-pointers. The Notre Dame star is attempting 19.5 field-goals over two games, including 10.0 three-pointers.
The shot volume and success rate seem way too reticent to pass up. Mabrey is not only locked in as the first scoring option for the Tempo, she has the green light to put up over 10 three-point baskets every contest. The Los Angeles Sparks are allowing 96 points over two contests on 56.1% shooting (most in the WNBA). Opportunities to score will be plentiful for Mabrey and the Tempo in this contest.
Alyssa Thomas 10+ Assists (-120)
Alyssa Thomas comes into this contest dishing out 9.3 dimes each contest. However, the catalyst for this selection is the payout for Thomas to record a double-double (-220). Oddsmakers are seriously implying Thomas gets to double-digit assists or rebounds. Given the fact the veteran forward is averaging almost three more assists than rebounds, it's safe to say which direction the sports books prefer.
Thomas has finished with 10 assists or more in one out of the first three games played for Phoenix on the season. The forward for the Mercury assisted on nine baskets in only 14 minutes on the floor when Phoenix matched up against Chicago in the preseason. The Mercury have increased their point production in every contest. If Phoenix can reach 90 points for the first time this season, then our chances of success are very strong.
Thomas is averaging 32.7 out of 40 minutes through the first three contests for the Mercury. The forward for Phoenix accumulated 22 double-doubles last season. In what could be a very closely-contested contest featuring a ton of scoring, we could easily see Thomas reaching 10 assists.
Enjoy the games this evening. Good luck with your picks!
