A full WNBA slate welcomes us tonight. I'm focusing on the Indiana Fever’s respectable defense, the Minnesota Lynx’s greatest surprise, and the Chicago Sky’s most atrocious weakness to find value in these WNBA player props on Wednesday, June 24.

Olivia Miles Over 18.5 points
Are oddsmakers watching a different WNBA season than the rest of us? No. Most likely, their models are struggling to account for a rookie like Olivia Miles. She is beyond the math.
A switch flipped for the Minnesota Lynx point guard after just nine professional games. The Lynx needed points more than assists. After taking only 11 shots per game through her first nine games, Miles has averaged 13.9 shots per game in her last eight.
Obviously related, Miles has scored 21.5 points per game in her last eight games, clearing this points prop in six of them. Frankly, this should be set no lower than 19.5, if not 20.5.
She scored 22 against the Washington Mystics on Sunday, though the Lynx suffered a surprising loss. Expect even more from Miles tonight.

Alyssa Thomas Under 13.5 points
The Indiana Fever came out on top on Monday against the Phoenix Mercury despite the rarity of a quality scoring game from Alyssa Thomas. The Mercury veteran has struggled all season, even failing to reach double-digits in five of her last 10 games, another two stalling out at exactly 10 points.
There is no logic to seeing Thomas’s 19 points on Monday and expecting her to replicate that 8-of-12 shooting. It was an utter anomaly, falling short of this prop in seven of her previous nine games. Thomas is more likely to score single digits than she is to score 15 points.
The Mercury offensive rating is No. 12 in the WNBA in June, in no small part because of Thomas’ struggles. The Fever's defensive rating sits at No. 6, firmly in the mix among the league’s second-tier.

Megan Gustafson Over 12.5 points
The Chicago Sky are the worst rebounding team in the WNBA, a fact that continues to be made funnier when remembering how glad they were to remove Angel Reese from their roster. That failure shows up on both ends of the court.
The Portland Fire are not a particularly good rebounding team, but they do emphasize the offensive glass more than most of the WNBA, ranking No. 3 in offensive rebounding rate in the month of June.
Megan Gustafson leads the way in that emphasis, snagging 7.3% of the available offensive boards when she is on the court. A few second-chance opportunities should boost Gustafson’s scoring tonight, though expecting north of 15 points would be ambitious.
