WNBA player prop bets for May 24

Today's best WNBA player props bets

Kelsey Mitchell Over 2.5 threes (+140 at Caesars)

Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell re-signed with the Indiana Fever to play big games in front of raucous, vocal crowds like Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

She's getting both today and a chance to rebound from a 1-6 long-range stinker at Atlanta when the Fever hosts the defending champs, the New York Liberty.

The Fever faithful will be howling; Atlanta upset their beloved Fever in their previous home game, and the Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd has grown accustomed to watching Mitchell knocking down multiple triples a night for the last seven years.

She hasn’t been nearly as effective from downtown this season (1.7 makes per game), but the Liberty might pave the way for her today. New York allows the second-most 3-point attempts (29), with 37% finding the bottom of the net.

Mitchell might be struggling to find her downtown scoring touch, but she’s too good a shooter in an up-tempo game. The Liberty allows too many attempts from downtown, and she and Caitlin Clark will exploit them in the half-court set and transition.

Paige Bueckers Over 1.5 threes (+126 at FanDuel)

WNBA Rookie of the Year frontrunner Paige Bueckers is finding her stroke from downtown.

The Dallas Wings guard, who hit 43% of 4.5 triples at UConn, is launching more in the WNBA, spiking from 0/2 on opening night to 2/5 at Minnesota on Wednesday. Today, she’s set to clear 1.5 threes against the Atlanta Dream

Atlanta allows 19 3-point attempts (23 at home) with a high 41% make rate, perfect for Bueckers, a 33% shooter, in this uptempo, high-scoring clash. 

Coming off a 2+ triple night, her shot volume’s rising, and Atlanta’s defense is vulnerable to the long ball. In a game primed for points, take Bueckers’ Over 1.5 threes!

Brionna Jones Over 24.5 points + rebounds (-106 at FanDuel)

Playing alongside Brittney Griner has been a boon for Brionna Jones; the nine-year veteran is putting up career highs in points (16.7), rebounds (11.3), and minutes (33.0), and has combined for 25+ points and rebounds in five of six contests.

Dallas' frontcourt has too many weaknesses for Jones to exploit. The Wings yield 43 rebounds per game, including 12 offensive rebounds and 15 put-back points per game, and Jones will feast on the offensive glass and in the half-court. 

Atlanta has particularly benefited from her offensive rebounding. She's pulling down five offensive rebounds per game, and she should eat on the offensive glass, which should also fuel her scoring totals.

Jones is a 25% shooter from downtown on roughly three tries per game and drains 42% of her 13 field-goal attempts. She’s cleared the 25+ combo prop, and Dallas won't prevent that from happening tonight.
