If you are thinking it's Sunday and there's another pro league on today, that's next week. Today's a great day to focus on some WNBA player props with the matchups we have on deck - the Washington Mystics versus the Los Angeles Sparks and the Indiana Fever versus the Golden State Valkyries.
Washington's playing the second half of a back-to-back against the No. 1 offense in August (89.4 points per game). The winner of Indiana-Golden State will be the No. 6 seed in the playoff bracket; the loser will be the No. 8 seed, with Los Angeles breathing down their neck.
Let's take a look at these games.

Sunday’s Best WNBA Player Props & Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Cameron Brink Under 6.5 Points (-115)
Cameron Brink is still coming off the bench and not playing a lot. She didn't take many shots last year (6.9 per game) as a starter (22 minutes per game) before her injury. Now that she's playing fewer minutes off the bench (13.7 minutes per game), she's taking even fewer shots (4.3 per game).
Brink has gone under this total in eight out of 12 games this season and has gone over it just once in her last six. Washington may be exhausted after playing the Aces in Vegas last night, but that doesn't mean she'll take (or make) more shots. Bet the under.
Rickea Jackson Over 1.5 Made Three-Pointers (-166) & 3+ Three-Pointers Made (+198)
Rickea Jackson has been on a roll this month, making at least two three-pointers in every game but one in August (August 1st vs. Seattle; 0-5). She's made three or more threes in four of her last five and in six out of 11 games this month. Jackson is averaging 2.7 made threes on 6.3 attempts per game this month (43.5%).
Washington has been allowing opponents to make 37.3% of three-point attempts. As long as she continues to take her shots, Jackson has a great chance of hitting at least two three-pointers, but there is value in taking her to make three or more.
Kiki Iriafen Over 12.5 Points (-108)
Kiki Iriafen has been averaging 13 points per game, but has gone over this total seven times in her last 10 games, including an 18-point outing against the Sparks. With how the Sparks are playing defense (or rather not playing), even a tired Iriafen playing in the second half of a back-to-back can go for more than 12.5 points against this team.
Kelsey Mitchell Under 24.5 Points + Assists (-128)
Kelsey Mitchell has gone over this total in five of her last eight games, but in just three of her last six. She is the driving force behind the Indiana offense, and Indiana will need her best to get past a very hungry Golden State team. However, the Valkyries are one of the best defensive teams in the league.
In two prior games against Golden State, Mitchell recorded 12 points and zero assists in one and 16 and two in the other. She'll probably do even better this time around, but she'll still finish under this total.
Aliyah Boston Over 8.5 Rebounds (-104)
Aliyah Boston has become one of the premier rebounders in the WNBA, averaging 8.3 per game. She's gone over this total in four of her last eight games, but also in 11 of her last 15 games.
In two games versus Golden State, she had 12 and six rebounds. Teams have been averaging 34 rebounds per game versus the Valkyries this month. With this game having playoff implications, look for Boston to bring her 'A' game and go over this total.
