Tuesday’s Best WNBA Player Props & Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Kelsey Mitchell Under 17.5 Points (+105)
Kelsey Mitchell has scored 17 points or fewer in five of her six games this season. Last Wednesday, she scored just 14 in 32 minutes against the same Mystics team she faces tonight. While she does have a 24-point game to her name this season, I don't understand why she's so heavily favored to hit this over tonight.
Caitlin Clark will miss tonight's game, but she also missed last Wednesday's game, when Mitchell went just 4-of-16 from the floor and scored only 14 points. Mitchell takes plenty of shots and has attempted at least 15 in all but one game this year. But she's shot 27.5% or worse in four consecutive games. Until she proves she can knock down a good portion of her attempts, taking her under will continue to be the right play.
Satou Sabally to Record a Double-Double (+150)
Satou Sabally is averaging 21.3 points per game, so her scoring at least 10 tonight seems all but guaranteed. She may be facing the last undefeated team in the WNBA, but when she played them last Friday, she put together her best performance of the season. In that contest, she scored 26 points while making 50% of her shots. She also pulled down 11 boards to record her first double-double of the season.
While Sabally only has one double-double this season, it's worth noting how close she's been on several other occasions. She's scored at least 12 points in all seven of her games, and she has pulled down nine rebounds in three contests. She also grabbed eight against the Chicago Sky last Tuesday. Sabally hasn't pulled down fewer than eight rebounds since her second game of the year. This isn't a lock by any means, but for the price being offered, this play is worth the risk.
Nneka Ogwumike 10+ Rebounds (+135)
Nneka Ogwumike has grabbed eight or fewer rebounds in all but one game this season, yet she's averaging nine rebounds per game this year. How? She pulled down 18 boards against the Wings in the second game of the season. While that performance seems like an outlier considering what she has done in every other contest, she was so dominant in that game that it's hard to believe we're getting this price for her to hit double-digits again.
While Ogwumike hasn't put up huge numbers on the glass, she has been consistent. She has grabbed at least eight rebounds in five of her seven games, and she's yet to pull down fewer than six in a single contest. With such a high floor entering a matchup she's already exploited once, there's a lot to like about Ogwumike tonight.
