WNBA Player Props & Bets: Tempo vs. Valkyries (Tuesday)
The downside to there being only one WNBA game on tonight is fewer player props to choose from, but there is an upside. With fewer markets to review, we can spend more time analyzing the available options, which is what I did for today's Best WNBA Player Props list.
Now, there are some significant injury concerns for this game, and it remains to be seen if Aneesah Morrow will make her debut for Toronto tonight. So, check the injury report before placing your bet(s).

Tuesday’s Best WNBA Player Props & Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Kayla Thornton Over 8.5 Points (-118)
Thornton is only averaging 8.1 points per game this season and finished under this total in her last two games, including Sunday's game vs. Toronto. But she finished over it in four of her previous five and in 15 of 29 games this season. Against a poor Tempo defense, as long as she gets 25+ minutes (she averages 24.8), she's a solid bet to go over her point total.
Veronica Burton Over 6.5 Assists (+124)
Now, Burton is averaging just 5.5 per game this season, but she is averaging six per game over her last ten and had 6+ in five of her last seven. She has gone over this total in just nine of 29 games this season and had six in both previous matchups vs. Toronto.
So, how can I justify taking the over? Because with it potentially being Aneesah Morrow's debut with the team tonight and Marina Mabrey possibly not being 100% (if she plays), the team could look to Burton to distribute more and facilitate the offense against a poor Toronto defense.
Isabelle Harrison 10+ Points (-110)
Harrison has scored 10+ points in 11 of 17 games she has played in this season and in eight of her last 12. She played only 17 minutes against Golden State on Sunday, scoring just four points. She has started in 14 of her 17 games and averaged 13.2 points per game this season. My main concern regarding Harrison is how Aneesah Morrow could impact her playing time if Morrow makes her Toronto debut today.
But as long as she gets 20+ minutes, she'll score 10+ points.
Laura Juskaite Over 10.5 Points (+102)
Since she started getting 30+ minutes recently, Juskaite has averaged 14.9 points per game (over the last eight games; she is averaging 10.0 per game this season). However, she has gone over this total just five times in those eight games. But there is a commonality among the Unders: she played under 30 minutes in all three.
If Morrow plays, I'd pass on this one since there will be no telling just how much time any of the forwards see. But if Morrow is out, this becomes a solid value play at +102.
