Las Vegas is letting Carter cook when she’s on the court. Her usage rate is extremely high at 31.5%, and she ranks sixth in the league in terms of percentage of shots taken at 33.6%. Carter has scored at least 18 points in each of her last three games, and there’s no sign of her usage dipping anytime soon. Until I see a massive change in her scoring props, I’ll be taking the Over on Carter a lot moving forward.
Allisha Gray Score First Field Goal (Yes: +700)
Allisha Gray is a proven scorer who has averaged 15+ ppg in each of her last three seasons in Atlanta, and she’s off the mark fast in 2026, putting up 26 and 24 points in her first two games. Gray gets her hands on the ball during almost every possession, and leads the Dream in usage rate at 28.6%. She’s a bargain at +600 or better to score the first bucket of this game.

Caitlin Clark o2.5 3-Pointers Made (-130)
Caitlin Clark got off to a slow start from three-point range, shooting just 3-for-16 in her first two games combined. But she broke out on Friday in an overtime loss to the Washington Mystics, going 7-for-17 from deep on her way to scoring 32 points for the Indiana Fever. With the Fever at 1-2 and looking for a win against a young Storm squad that’s also off to a slow start, I expect Indiana to lean on Clark and her three-point shooting tonight.

Kelsey Plum o30.5 Total Points, Rebounds, and Assists (+100)
Four-time All-Star Kelsey Plum is of to another fast start in 2026, averaging 26.3 points, 5.0 assists, and 1.7 rebounds per game for the Los Angeles Sparks. Plum has put up at least 25 points in each of her first three games this year, including in Friday’s win over the Toronto Tempo – Los Angeles’ first victory of the season. With another game against the Tempo on tap for Sunday, Plum should ride the efficient Sparks offense to the Over on her PRA total.
