Sunday’s WNBA slate features only two games, and with both Caitlin Clark and A’ja Wilson sidelined, my attention is focused on some less obvious player prop markets.
My WNBA player props lean into opportunity, as Marina Mabrey continues to shine in the absence of Brittney Sykes, and Jewell Loyd does her best to fill in for the injured Wilson. I’m also backing Jessica Shepard to have her way in the paint against a flimsy Toronto Tempo front line.
Read my WNBA picks for Sunday, July 5, to see how why I’m taking the Over on some modest lines for all three players.
Top WNBA player prop bets for today
| Player | Pick | Odds |
|---|---|---|
 Marina Mabrey |
Over 22.5 points | -125 |
 Jessica Shepard |
Over 25.5 points + rebounds | -120 |
 Jewell Loyd |
Over 10.5 points | -112 |
Marina Mabrey Over 22.5 points (-125)
Brittney Sykes is out for the foreseeable future, and Marina Mabrey is back following a one-game absence. Mabrey was on an incredible heater before missing her last outing, having tied the league’s all-time scoring record with a 53-point masterpiece against the Los Angeles Sparks.
Over her last three without Sykes, Mabrey leads the WNBA in FGA (23), 3PA (12.7), 3PM (7), and usage rate (37.4).
She’s more than doubled the points and FGA of her next-closest teammate while operating as a one-woman wrecking crew. Volume is key, and I’ll back this line up to 24.5.

Jessica Shepard Over 25.5 points + rebounds (-120)
Jessica Shepard is a first-time All-Star thanks to a career-best 25.6 points + rebounds per game. She’s hit the Over on this line in nearly half of her games, reaching the mark nine times in 20 tries.
Toronto offers an excellent matchup as the Toronto Tempo have surrendered the fourth-most rebounds, second-most PITP, and second-most second-chance points. They rank third-worst in defensive rating.
Shepard ranks in the Top 3 in total rebounds and offensive rebounds, and ranks sixth in PITP scored. She should have another strong outing this afternoon, and I'd play this up to 28.5.

Jewell Loyd Over 10.5 points (-112)
With A’ja Wilson (leg) out for a third straight game, Jewell Loyd is expected to remain with the first unit. Over her last two games as a starter, Loyd has averaged 12 points across 31.5 minutes.
The Indiana Fever have allowed the fourth-most points (90), and they like to push the tempo with the W’s top-ranked pace (99.9).
The Aces will need all hands on deck to fill the offensive void left by the league’s top scorer, and Loyd should see plenty of minutes and shot opportunities. Play this up to 12.5.
