The WNBA’s biggest names play today, including Kelsey Plum, and oddsmakers seem to be doubting some of them.
These WNBA picks back three stars to shine in their respective matchups on Sunday, June 21.
Top WNBA player prop bets for today
| Player | Pick | Odds |
|---|---|---|
 A'ja Wilson |
Over 25.5 points | -125 |
 Olivia Miles |
Over 17.5 points | -113 |
 Kelsey Plum |
Over 20.5 points | -114 |
A'ja Wilson Over 25.5 points
A’ja Wilson has already seen the Golden State Valkyries twice this season, scoring 28 points in each game. That is not an anomaly. The Las Vegas Aces superstar is playing some of the best basketball of her illustrious career, topping this points prop in five of her last eight games.
One of those exceptions came by merely the hook, and another came while scoring 24 points against the best defense in the WNBA. Really, only struggling to 18 points against the Wings last Monday was a moment when Wilson fell genuinely short, an exception proving the rule, so to speak.
Golden State does not have a defender capable of slowing down the best player available in the WNBA right now. But the Valkyries are good enough to keep things competitive, creating the sweet spot for trusting Wilson to have another strong night.
That said, raising this prop past 26.5 should start to worry any Wilson backer, despite the juice at 25.5.

Olivia Miles Over 17.5 points
Was Friday night the first bad game of Olivia Miles’ career? She went 1-of-10 from the field and still ended up a +2 in the plus/minus column of the box score.
Miles still had five rebounds, four assists, three steals and three blocks, including the one to seal the game. Hardly a terrible night.
Though it yet provides logic to backing Miles at the rim tonight. She should not let that terrible shooting linger in her memory. The Minnesota Lynx rookie has been too stellar this season to let one game remove the confidence instilled by her first 15.
Miles had cleared this prop in six of seven games before Friday’s dud, the exception coming due to playing only 23 minutes in a 33-point rout.
The Washington Mystics may be looking at a blowout today, but Miles should first look to see the ball go through the hoop.

Kelsey Plum Over 20.5 points
There are some moments you should simply trust one of the best scorers in the WNBA, one of the best veterans in the WNBA, and one of the most spite-driven players in the WNBA.
Kelsey Plum is an obvious bet whenever she faces her former team, the Aces. She should also be backed when facing the New York Liberty, her biggest rival while with the Aces.
Plum averaged 19.5 points last year, her first with the Los Angeles Sparks after a frustrating departure from Las Vegas. She exceeded that average in two of her three games against the Liberty.
She is averaging 25.0 points per game this year; exceeding that tonight may seem bold, but in a game hyped by the WNBA, do not doubt Plum.
Sometimes the moment simply calls for a bet. Plum against the Liberty is such a moment, especially as long as this prop stays below 22 points.
