Monday’s Best WNBA Player Props & Bets
Last time: 1-0 | Season: 2-1 | 2025 Season: 18-16
Natisha Hiedeman Under 13.5 Points (-107 at Caesars Sportsbook)
The WNBA Commissioner's Cup kicks off with the Seattle Storm traveling to Dallas to take on the Wings. Dallas may be 12.5-point favorites, but I honestly don't know if that's enough. Seattle's offense ranks second-worst in the entire league.
Dallas' defense isn't the best, but they do well limiting deep looks, allowing the second-fewest three-point attempts in the entire league. This is why I think Natisha Hiedeman will struggle tonight. She may rank second on the team in scoring, but a lot of that comes from the perimeter, with over five looks from deep a game.
Considering the pace-down spot in what should already be a slower game, I'm surprised by how high this line is. Let’s bet on the under.
Monique Akoa Makani Under 11.5 Points + Rebounds (-117 at FanDuel Sportsbook)
After missing the first part of the season due to her time in Europe, Monique Akoa Makani is back in action for the Mercury and played a healthy 29 minutes last time out. The Phoenix guard is averaging 11 points and 2.5 boards over two games, but Minnesota is going to give Akoa Makani and company difficulties.
Over the first month of the season, the Lynx have been off to a solid 6-2 start with the best defensive metrics in the league. They also sit as the third-best rebounding crew, and I expect that to limit the Mercury as a whole. They may have a fast pace, but it won't be a big enough difference for Akoa Makani to get over 12 combined points + boards.
Akoa Makani may take a step forward in her sophomore season, but she still only averaged fewer than 10 combined points + boards last season. I project she'll go under tonight.
