Thursday's Best WNBA Player Prop Picks
2026 Regular Season: 1-1-1 | Last: 1-1-1 | (Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Jovana Nogic 15+ Points (+102)
Jovana Nogic has scored at least 15 points in three of five games this season. She is averaging 15.4 points, and her average at home is 14.0. However, if you take away her two-point clunker from May 12 against the Lynx, where she played a season-low 17 minutes, that average jumps to 20.0 across her last two home games. This includes 27 points last Friday against the Sky.
This number has been going back and forth between +102 and -103 all day. Catch it on the plus side!
Kiki Rice 15+ Points (+172)
Kiki Rice has cashed this prop in each of her last two games including a career high 19 points on May 14 against the Sparks in Los Angeles in a UCLA homecoming of sorts.
The rookie is averaging 11.8 points so far this season but that number has risen to 14.25 over her last four games. This scoring increase has coincided with an increase in playing time. In fact, Rice has scored at least 11 points in every game she has played for more than 21 minutes. She has also seen her minutes increase even more over the last two contests, seeing an average of 34.5 minutes and scoring no fewer than 15 points.
Best to fluff the Rice now before it cools off or the books catch up.
