It's going to be a great day for betting on WNBA Player Props. How do I know that? Easy, because it's the first day of the postseason. Every game is a must-win from here on out, which means we won’t have to wonder how much effort our favorite stars are putting in. This is what they play for.
Of course, that doesn't mean someone is going to explode because they are a star player; some teams play great defense. There are four games on the schedule today; let's check out some of our options.

Sunday’s Best WNBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds Courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Golden State Valkyries vs. Minnesota Lynx
I'm not betting against Collier getting it done in the postseason, but the Valkyries are a playoff team in their inaugural season because they play stellar defense. In four games vs. the Lynx, they kept Collier under this total in the last three. Collier has finished under it in her last six games and in nine of her last 15. She'll be why the Lynx win today, but she'll finish under this total.
Pick: Napheesa Collier Under 32.5 Pts + Reb + Ast (-130)
Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream
This Rhyne Howard prop has been one of my favorite props all season. Why? Because you can count on Howard putting up a bunch of three-point shots every night, so the opportunity is there. She ended the season going over this total in five of her last six games and in three of four vs. Indiana.
Britney Griner went over this total in her last three games, but I think that was due more to the team giving her a bigger role so that others could rest. However, now that it's playoff time, she'll take a backseat to Allisha Gray, Brionna Jones, and Rhyne Howard again.
Picks: Rhyne Howard Over 2.5 Made Threes (-110) & Britney Griner Under 7.5 Points (-115)
New York Liberty vs. Phoenix Mercury
Emma Meesseman went over this total in 14 of her last 15 games, including her last eight. She had 17 in vs. Phoenix (Aug. 30). She averaged 25.9 minutes per game during the season. However, I wouldn't be shocked if she played 30+ minutes today to keep Alyssa Thomas from dominating the paint.
My first thought was to take the Over because certainly Stewie will go off in a playoff game and lead her team to victory with a big night on the scoreboard, but then I did my research. Yes, she went over this total in three of her last four games, but she went under it in 10 of her last 15. Against Phoenix, she went under it in three of four games.
Picks: Emma Meesseman Over 8.5 Points (-113) & Breanna Stewart Under 18.5 Points (-118)
Seattle Storm vs. Las Vegas Aces
There was a stretch where Ezi Magbegor scored a decent number of points every night, but that time is long past. She went under this total in six of her last eight games and in three of four vs. Vegas. Other players will be the focal point of the Seattle offense today.
Pick: Ezi Magbegor Under 8.5 Points (-140)
