Fever vs Liberty prop: Caitlin Clark Over 9.5 assists

Probability: 46%

Caitlin Clark has averaged 31.4 PRA in nine career matchups against the New York Liberty, going for 38+ PRA only twice. But I’m staying away from her lofty combo line and turning to a mark she’s more likely to hit.

Clark has dished 9+ dimes five times and 10+ three times against the Liberty. Over her last nine games overall, she’s recorded 9+ assists seven times and 10+ five times. 

The Liberty allow the fourth-most assists, and I like Clark to reach double-digit helpers, especially at a plus-money price.

Dream vs Mercury prop: Rhyne Howard Over 3.5 3-pointers

Probability: 43%

Rhyne Howard is tied with Marina Mabrey for the league lead in made triples at 3.3, and she’s doing so on 37.5% shooting from downtown. Howard has canned 4+ triples in 17 of 35 games.

The Phoenix Mercury have surrendered the second-highest 3P% to opponents at 36.2%, and they’ve given up the most made triples at 9.9.

In two matchups with Phoenix this season, Howard is 11 of 21 from distance, knocking down 5+ treys in each contest. Given Howard has hit 4+ threes in nearly half of her games, this is a value offering at plus-money odds.

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.
