Saturday’s Best WNBA Player Props
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Marina Mabrey Over 23.5 Points (-102)
Marina Mabrey has been the hottest scorer in the WNBA over the last few weeks. This was highlighted by a record-tying 53-point outburst on Thursday against the Los Angeles Sparks.
Mabrey will look to follow that up on Saturday with another great performance against the Phoenix Mercury. But not going up against one of the league’s worst defenses, like the Sparks, will make things a bit tougher.
Phoenix will look to slow down the Tempo. Toronto is one of the fastest teams in the league in terms of pace, while the Mercury sits near the bottom as one of the slowest.
However, Phoenix gives up one of the highest opponent field-goal rates in the league, especially from deep, where they allow 36.7% shooting on 26.8 three-point attempts per game. Mabrey is a more-than-capable three-point shooter who has made 21 three-pointers in her last three games.
It might be tempting to fade Mabrey coming off a historic performance on Thursday night. Phoenix poses a tougher challenge, but mostly because the pace should be slower.
However, Mabrey doesn't need to score 53 again to hit the over - she just needs 23. Guards have had plenty of success against Phoenix, including Kelsey Mitchell going off for 30 in their latest contest. It's a good bet to back Mabrey to go over as well.
Kelsey Mitchell Over 29.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110)
The Fever hosts the Sparks in a nationally televised primetime game on Saturday night. The Fever have scuffled a bit as of late, but their offense has continued to flourish. They sit fourth in the league in offensive rating and have a top-five free-throw attempt rate. Scoring has been fairly easy to come by and should continue against the most hapless defense in the league.
The Sparks are coming off a game on Thursday where they allowed a WNBA record-tying 53 points to Marina Mabrey. No player on the Fever is looking forward to stuffing the stat sheet on Saturday more than Kelsey Mitchell.
Mitchell leads the Fever in scoring with 21.4 points per game, but will be without teammate Caitlin Clark, who shares in the scoring at 21.2 points per game but also is second in the league in assists.
The assists are a key component here. With both of these teams playing at some of the fastest paces in the league, there will be plenty of scoring opportunities. Los Angeles allows assists at a rate of 28 per 100 possessions, the second-highest rate in the league. Those have to come from somewhere. Mitchell, with Ryne Howard, is more than capable of filling that void.
Mitchell should be expected to be everywhere on the court on Saturday and pour in points and assists, as well as the occasional rebound. Los Angeles has struggled to defend even some of the league’s worst offenses, but Indiana is one of the most talented.
With Clark out, someone will have to aggregate her production, and Mitchell is the obvious choice to shoulder an even larger load while exceeding her season averages to go over on this prop.
