Monday’s WNBA slate is a light one, but there is value to be had thanks to some injuries. Kelsey Plum remains sidelined, while Angel Reese’s status could give way to some solid WNBA player prop bets.
I’ve scoured the top options and pinpointed four WNBA props I like above all the rest. As always you can pile these together in a WNBA parlay, but my preference is to target them separately. With that, let’s dive into Monday’s top WNBA player props.
Alyssa Thomas Over 29.5 PRA
Thomas is always a solid bet when it comes to PRA. She averages 14.2-6.8-7.9 on the year, which is right around where this PRA is hovering. You can always lose a little value by eyeing a lighter PRA line, too.
This one looks just fine, though. Thomas has hit the Over in four of her last six games and she has one of the most versatile skill-sets in the entire league. Her last game was a brutal blowout, but she still pushed for 30 minutes, so blowout risk aside, I like her chances to deliver on Monday night.
Dearica Hamby Over 27.5 PRA
Hamby is in the better game of the night, as the Sparks vs. Dream game should be where we target most of our WNBA DFS picks today. Hamby isn’t a lock for DFS necessarily, but she is super active and her 14.8-7.7-2.3 season averages put her in play to top this line.
Hamby also gets a usage boost with top Sparks guard Kelsey Plum still sidelined due to a knee injury. Hamby has been very consistent, scoring 15+ real points in each of her last five games. If she can continue doing work on the glass, she should have little trouble delivering.
She also would get a sizable boost if Angel Reese (Q) sits this one out. That’d be less resistance inside, as well as less competition for rebounds.
Olivia Miles Over 19.5 Points
The rookie phenom is back to her high-level scoring ways. Miles is averaging 18.7 points per game on the year, and she successfully returned from a two-game absence with 23 points in her last game.
Miles has now hit the Over for this prop in four of her last five games. She’s back to full strength after logging 32 minutes against New York, so she should be plenty busy in the scoring department.
The only issue would be blowout risk in this spot, but I still fully expect Miles to get hers.
Rae Burrell Over 16.5 PTS+AST
Lastly, we should be very interested in soaking up WNBA player props featuring Sparks players. The aforementioned Plum leaves behind a ton of scoring, and the 26-year old Burrell has helped pick up some of the slack.
She’s scored 17+ points in each of her last two games, and Plum’s absence opens up a lot of floor time and usage. Burrell is going to continue to get shots, as she’s launched 11+ attempts in five straight games, and I don’t see that aggressiveness going away.
Even if it does, we protect ourselves a bit by tacking on her assists. Her season averages aren’t great, but she’s been more involved as a passer lately, dishing out 3+ dimes in five of her last seven outings.
I am largely targeting Burrell for her increased scoring role, but adding both props feels like a safe way to target her on Monday night.
Best WNBA Player Prop Bets for Thursday Night
| Player | Prop | Pick | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alyssa Thomas | 29.5 PRA | ✅ Over | 5/5 |
| Dearica Hamby | 27.5 PRA | ✅ Over | 5/5 |
| Olivia Miles | 19.5 PTS | ✅ Over | 5/5 |
| Rae Burrell | 16.5 PTS+AST | ✅ Over | 5/5 |
This is the rare slate where I feel very confident about all of my top WNBA player props. I also wanted to add some Atlanta Dream props, but until we have official news on Angel Reese, it felt dicey.
That said, hammering ATL overs early could be a nice source of value. Regardless, these four WNBA props all look great. Target them individually or pile them together to make one winning WNBA parlay bet.
