Kelsey Mitchell Over 22.5 points (-115)

Caitlin Clark is optimistic about being back in the lineup on Wednesday — she hasn’t played since the Alyssa Thomas suspension game on June 24 and will likely be on a minutes restriction.

Clark’s line is a gettable 16.5 points, but why rough it through that night when the team’s leading scorer, Kelsey Mitchell, can make this bet a breeze of a win.

She's gone for 23+ points in five of her last seven, most recently lighting up the Aces for 27, the Sparks for 26, and the Mercury for 30 in back-to-back-to-back games.

This is a generous line against the team allowing the most points in the WNBA? Yes, please.

Marina Mabrey Under 3.5 threes (-165)

Marina Mabrey is having a breakout year, fourth in the league in scoring while leading the WNBA in 3-point makes per game at 3.5.

She’s drilled a whopping 24 threes the last four games, including two different games with nine makes — tying the league record.

Still, she’s taking on a Golden State Valkyries team that's surging, powered by a defense that squeezes the life out of most offenses. I’d normally steer clear of odds in this range, but not in this instance, as the Valkyries are currently dominating.

During their current five-game win streak, Golden State has limited opponents to a paltry 26.5% shooting from distance (second in WNBA), and only one player has managed to connect on four triples in a game.

Mabrey should still be able to score, but look for Golden State to run her off the line.

Natasha Howard Over 16.5 points (-115)

Let’s wrap with the Minnesota Lynx, who are tied with Vegas atop the WNBA standings but will likely be without superstar rookie Olivia Miles (calf) when they take on the Connecticut Sun.

That will likely mean more work for second-leading scorer Natasha Howard, who's scored 17+ points in eight of her last 11 games, touching the 20-point plateau six times.

She’s also gone Over this line in each of her last three games against the Sun, including the last game, putting up 18 points on 6-for-10 shooting from the field.

I expect this scoring trend to continue, especially if the Lynx are shorthanded.
