Where else can we start our WNBA props for Friday’s three-game slate but with shoe-in rookie of the year Paige Bueckers?
The Dallas Wings guard set the single-game rookie scoring record with 44 against the Los Angeles Sparks last time out.

Thomas Under 8.5 assists (+105)
Today's best WNBA player props bets
Paige Bueckers Over 19.5 points (-102 at FanDuel)
The books have her at a gentle 19.5 scoring line, despite Paige Bueckers cracking the 20-point plateau six times in the last nine games.
The Seattle Storm’s defense does rank Top 5 in points allowed, and they’ve held her Under this total in two previous meetings.
But the Storm are in a tailspin, with just two wins in the last nine, surrendering 88.6 points per game. Bueckers is catching them at the right time for you to bang the Over on your ticket.

Kelsey Mitchell Over 20.5 points (-118 at FanDuel)
This normally would feature two of the league’s best, but MVP candidate Napheesa Collier (ankle) and face of the league Caitlin Clark (groin) are both out.
Kelsey Mitchell has been the offensive force while Clark’s been away, leading the team in scoring nine times in 13 games.
She’s coming off a season-high 38 against the Connecticut Sun and has scored 21 or more points in eight of the last 12.
I expect the scoring splurge to continue Friday.

Alyssa Thomas Under 8.5 assists (+105 at FanDuel)
Alyssa Thomas is the runaway leader in assists this season, averaging 9.0 per game, with no other player even averaging seven.
But Friday against the Golden State Valkyries, she’ll be facing the league’s second-best scoring defense, and ranks Top 5 in assists allowed.
Thomas has gone Under her 8.5 line in two straight and in three of the last five, including against these same Valkyries on August 19.
It will be tight, but she should stay just Under the line.
