Fever vs Tempo prop: Caitlin Clark 9+ assists

Kalshi probability: 59%

As always, Caitlin Clark holds the key to the Indiana Fever lighting up the scoreboard, so watch for her fingerprints to be all over tonight's performance. She was dialed in as a playmaker in August, finishing with 9+ assists in nine of her final 12 games before the World Cup, and I see her cashing this prop against an overmatched Toronto Tempo lineup.

Clark dished a season-high 14 dimes against the Tempo earlier this year, and her fast-break passing should shine tonight, particularly with the hosts' offense hinging on rookie Kiki Rice, who's learning on the job. If the Fever hit the 100-point mark once again, it's hard to see Clark falling short of this assists number.

Liberty vs Lynx prop: Napheesa Collier Over 2.5 assists

Kalshi probability: 49%

Napheesa Collier has dished three assists in five of 12 games this season, but all five of them have been at home. The superstar is averaging four dimes at home compared to just 1.5 on the road, and she’s reached this number in five of six games at Target Center.

The New York Liberty are allowing the fifth-most assists to centers at 4.7 per game, and NY has surrendered five per game on the road. Collier sports a 9.1% assist percentage on the road, but that’s doubled to 18.2% at home.

Play to 55%.

How to trade WNBA player props today

Player props allow WNBA fans to trade 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 traders 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.
