WNBA Player Props & Bets: Sunday (9/7)
We head into the final week of the WNBA regular season today, and while Minnesota has a lock on the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, nothing else is certain. At least one team in all three games today will have something to play for, making their stars solid targets when looking at WNBA player props.
Indiana needs to keep winning, as their playoff spot isn't locked in yet. Los Angeles has to win to keep their fading hopes alive and the Aces need to win to keep the pressure on Atlanta for the No. 2 spot. It should be an exciting day of basketball.
Here are our top WNBA player prop bets for Sunday, September 7th.

Sunday’s Best WNBA Player Props & Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook unless otherwise specified.)
Kelsey Mitchell Over 24.5 Points + Assists (-102)
I'm a little hesitant to go with the combo over her point total (19.5) because Kelsey Mitchell is averaging just 3.5 assists per game this season, but I like the price enough compared to her point total line (-122) to give it a chance.
Mitchell has gone over this total in five of her last eight games, but fell just short a few weeks ago against Washington, combining 23 points + assists. But with the postseason so close and the Mystics fading fast the last few weeks, we'll get another basket or two to put her over this time.
Kiki Iriafen Over 8.5 Rebounds (-138)
Kiki Iriafen’s Mystics have been struggling, but that hasn't stopped this young rookie from killing it on the boards. She had a three-game stretch recently where she only recorded between three to six rebounds, but she had 13 in her last two games, and 10+ in nine of her previous 12 games. Iriafen has gone over this total in her last two games against Indiana.
Paige Bueckers Over 16.5 Points (-128) & 20+ Points (+168)
Paige Bueckers has gone over this mark just twice in her last five games, but she has gone over it in 11 of her last 15 and had two of the best performances against the Sparks this season (44 points on August 20th and 29 points on August 15th). The Sparks will be too focused on taking advantage of the poor Dallas defense to worry about her. Defense is going to be an afterthought in this game.
Don't count on another 40+ point night, but 20+ is a reasonable expectation.
Kelsey Plum Over 18.5 Points (-120)
The Sparks are two games back for the final playoff spot with three games to go. They have to win, and for them, that means running up the score. Kelsey Plum has gone over this total just once in her last five games, but went over it in eight of out 12 games in August. With her team's playoff hopes fading fast, Plum will do her part to keep them alive with a big game against one of the worst defenses in the league.
Dearica Hamby Over 18.5 Points (-102) & 20+ Points (+130)
I could see both Dearica Hamby and Kelsy Plum going over their respective totals today, but if you were to pick just one, go with Hamby. She scored 20+ in her last four games, had 20 in two out of three versus Los Angeles and went over this total in 11 of her last 15 games with 20+ in eight out of 10.
A'ja Wilson Over 23.5 Points (-125 at bet365)
A’ja Wilson has been a beast during the Aces' 13-game win streak that has them in position to potentially be the No. 2 seed in the playoffs. In that stretch, she averaged 25.9 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. Wilson only scored 18 points on August 25th versus the Sky, but that game was an isolated event. With so much on the line today, she will not let a poor team like the Sky get in her way.
