Aces vs. Lynx prop: A'ja Wilson Under 40.5 points + rebounds + assists

Probability: (Check back for probability.)

A’ja Wilson has been on a dominant run, averaging 42.6 PRA across her last 10 outings. Despite the recent success, Wilson has struggled to reach the lofty PRA total set for Saturday afternoon’s primetime showdown.

Over her last 12 regular-season matchups with the Minnesota Lynx, Wilson has averaged just 33.2 PRA and recorded 41+ PRA only thrice. The Lynx have allowed just 6.3 PRA to opposing centers this season, easily the best mark in the W.

I’ll play this one down to 38.5 as Minnesota’s elite defense gets back on track in front of the home crowd.

Check out Zak Hanshew's full Aces vs. Lynx predictions.

Prop Confidence Rating: 🟡  In their matchups against Las Vegas, Minnesota’s aggressive frontcourt traps and interior length have routinely tested A'ja Wilson, holding her below her season efficiency averages and forcing 4.3 turnovers per game in their head-to-head contests — her highest turnover rate against any opponent in the league.

(Confidence legend: 🟢 = high, 🟡 = medium, ⚪ = low)

Fever vs. Sky prop: Caitlin Clark Over 8.5 assists

Probability: 54%

Caitlin Clark taking the Over on 8.5 assists today against the Chicago Sky is one of the slate's most reliable plays.

Ranking second in the WNBA at 8.0 assists per game, Clark’s playmaking floor is exceptionally high, having led Indiana in assists in nine consecutive outings.

She has delivered double-digit dimes in four of her last seven games, showing elite court vision and high-volume usage in transition.

Crucially, Clark has completely solved Chicago's defense, dishing out at least 10 assists in four straight meetings against the Sky.

Against a Chicago defense that struggles to contain pick-and-roll action, back Clark to easily clear 8.5 assists.

Check out Eric Rosales' full Fever vs. Sky predictions.

Prop Confidence Rating: 🟢  Clark has completely dominated the Chicago Sky playmaking-wise, averaging 11.2 assists per game across her matchups against Chicago, highlighted by four consecutive double-digit assist performances against them.

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.
