Fever vs Wings prop: Caitlin Clark Over 23.5 points

Probability: 69%

At 22.1 ppg, Caitlin Clark ranks third in the WNBA in scoring, just behind teammate Kelsey Mitchell (24.3). She’s been even more productive over her last 10, averaging 25.1.

In that span, Clark has averaged 25.5 across six road games, going for 24+ in three straight and five of six overall.

She scored 29 in her last tilt with Dallas, and I expect Clark to reach the 24-point plateau once again in a high-scoring road matchup.

Sun vs Aces prop: Chelsea Gray Over 1.5 made threes

Probability: 52%

Chelsea Gray is heating up from downtown, and that’s a bad thing for a Connecticut Sun defense allowing 8.2 triples per game across their last five.

Gray is the Las Vegas Aces' engine. She pushes the pace (97.0), and her 33 minutes of action, alongside a 19% usage rate over her last five contests, means she has the ball in her hands often.

Gray’s recent five-game sample is fantastic. 51% of her points have come from downtown, and she’s knocked down at least two or more from deep in four of her past six games.

Play Gray’s made threes to -135 tonight.

Dream vs Sparks prop: Angel Reese Over 21.5 points

Probability: 30%

Angel Reese is known primarily for her rebounding, as she leads the WNBA with 12.0 boards per game. You may also know she's a capable scorer (15.7 ppg), but more surprising is that the Atlanta Dream star has 10 assists over her last two contests.

That has me targeting her PRA total. Reese has gone Over the 31.5 PRA mark in three of her last four games, and the Sparks are a soft matchup on the inside.

She picked up 38 PRA against the Los Angeles Sparks in their first meeting this year, and I'm expecting more of the same tonight.

How to bet WNBA player props today

Player props allow WNBA bettors to wager on a player’s total points, assists, rebounds, 3-pointers made, and a number of individual statistics like combo markets.

Just like standard Over/Under odds, prediction markets like Kalshi will set a projected total number for those stats, and bettors can predict whether the player or team will have Over or Under that total.

What is Kalshi?

Kalshi is a federally regulated platform for trading event outcomes on prediction markets. Traders can buy and sell simple, transparent contracts that settle based on the outcome of real-world events. Markets revolve around a yes/no proposition, with prices adjusting dynamically based on traders’ perceived probability that the event will occur. When the event concludes, if you are correct, the contract “honors” at a predetermined price; if you are incorrect, it expires at $0.
