WNBA Player Props & Bets: Tuesday (5/12)
The young WNBA season continues tonight with a triple header with the Atlanta Dream visiting the Dallas Wings at 8:00 p.m. ET, followed by Minnesota versus Phoenix and New York versus Portland at 10:00 p.m. ET. With several of the league's best players in action, it should be a good night for betting on WNBA player props.
There are a number of good options for all three games, but the following are my favorite selections for the night.

Tuesday’s Best WNBA Player Props
(Odds courtesy of bet365)
Angel Reese Over 12.5 Rebounds (+100)
The WNBA's premier rebounder lived up to her reputation in her Dream debut, pulling down 14 boards in Atlanta's season opener. Dallas is not a strong rebounding team, and the Wings don’t play much defense. This was certainly true in the opener against Indiana and last season. The Wings will not be able to slow Reese down on the boards.
Paige Bueckers Over 20.5 Points (+102)
Paige Bueckers scored 20 points in the Wings’ season opener against Indiana, and it is not going to be any easier to score points against a solid Atlanta team. The Dream allowed Minnesota to score 90 points in its opener, so maybe its defense is not as good as it was last year.
Bueckers averaged 19.2 points per game last season. Dallas has plenty of shooters on the team, but she'll get her shots each night. At +102 odds, this prop has value.
Alyssa Thomas Over 17.5 Points (+102)
Player props with plus-money odds will always get my attention first. Those are the ones most likely to have value - like this one. Alyssa Thomas scored 20 and 19 points in her two games this season.
Minnesota allowed 91 points in its season debut. It is too soon to draw conclusions about anyone. But Thomas is a baller who can dominate the paint, and Minnesota doesn't have someone that can match up with her.
Olivia Miles Over 14.5 Points (-115)
Could the young rookie take a step back after scoring 21 points in the season opener? It is entirely possible. Or the Lynx could lean into their No. 2 draft pick and feed her the ball. Olivia Miles took 14 shots in the opener versus Atlanta. If she weren't such a high draft pick, I might lean towards the under. But she was, so she'll get her shots once again.
Miles may not score 21 points again, but she'll cover 14.5.
Breanna Stewart Over 34.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (+100)
Normally, I'd consider this number doable. A little higher, and I'd stay away. But with the Liberty starting the season with a packed injured list, it has fallen on Breanna Stewart to not only lead the way but to do much of the work.
In two games this season, Stewart has recorded lines of 31/10/2 and 23/9/4. Portland didn't show much defense in its season opener when it allowed Chicago to score 98 points. They will not slow Stewart down.
