There's plenty of young WNBA talent on show tonight, but count on Alyssa Thomas and Skylar Diggins to show the veterans can still play.

Settle in for a WNBA slate with five games on deck, creating a plethora of WNBA player props to dig through.

I’m looking for Alyssa Thomas to keep the Phoenix Mercury afloat tonight in New York, and Jordin Canada to be a difference-maker yet again for the Dream. 

Read on for my Top 3 WNBA picks ahead of the May 27 action.

Alyssa Thomas Over 16.5 points (-115)

There hasn't been much to love about the Phoenix Mercury's 2-5 start, but Alyssa Thomas continues to churn out impressive stats. As Phoenix tries to snap a three-game skid tonight, look for the veteran to go past this O/U number for a fifth straight outing.

Thomas has shot an ultra-efficient 22-for-33 from the field across her last three contests, and she won't shy away from the head-to-head battle with the New York Liberty's stellar frontcourt tonight.

Her ability to get to the line sets a solid floor for this prop, with Thomas attempting double-digit free throws three times already this year. She's also in line for 30+ minutes in such a marquee matchup.

Skylar Diggins Over 14.5 points (-125)

It's no secret the Chicago Sky are short on firepower amid a cruel run of injuries, but that's just nudged Skylar Diggins into an even more prominent role than she likely expected when she landed in the Windy City.

With Diggins logging 32+ minutes in four of Chicago's five games so far, there's a roadmap to a strong scoring effort tonight against the Toronto Tempo, and she's nailed this Over in three of the four contests where she's reached that minutes mark.

Her efficiency won't wow you, but she's jacked up 26 shots across her past two outings, and this O/U line feels well within reach as such a pivotal part of the Sky offense.

Jordin Canada Over 16.5 points + assists (-130)

Don't sleep on Jordin Canada's contributions to the 4-1 Atlanta Dream. Sure, Allisha Gray and Angel Reese grab the bigger headlines, but Canada is a key offensive contributor. She's coming off a 14-assist gem against the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday, and I love this combo Over tonight.

Canada is as consistent as it gets. She's scored double-digit points in four of her five games this season, while dishing five or more dimes in each outing.

Though she's facing a sturdy Minnesota Lynx defense here, Canada finished with 12 points and six assists when the teams met in the season opener, guiding the Atlanta offense to 91 points that day.
