Fever vs Tempo prop: Caitlin Clark 11+ assists

Probability: 43%

Caitlin Clark has upped her playmaking during the Indiana Fever’s mid-season push, handing out 10 or more assists in five of her last seven games.

The Clark-Aliyah Boston-powered pick-and-roll will be especially potent against the Toronto Tempo’s undersized lineup, as Clark draws double teams and the 6-foot-5 Boston exploits smaller defenders on switches and weakside rotations. 

Opponent assists have spiked during Toronto's losing streak thanks to its defensive shortcomings, with foes racking up a WNBA-high 24 dimes per game. 

Clark recorded 14 assists in the first meeting with the expansion team, and tonight’s forecasts again flirt with double-digit dimes.

Sparks vs Sun prop: Leila Lacan 5+ assists

Probability: 52%

In a lost season for Connecticut, Leila Lacan has been a relative bright spot. The former first-round pick is averaging 11.8 points and 4.5 assists per game, and is coming off a six-assist performance against the New York Liberty on Saturday.

We've already established that the Sparks are a poor defensive team, which will mean more scoring opportunities for the Sun. Los Angeles also allows opponents to rack up 22.6 assists per game, second-most in the WNBA.

Lacan will have the lead role in exploiting these opportunities, and I'm backing her to hit her assists Over tonight at -150 or better.

Liberty vs Sky prop: Jonquel Jones 10+ rebounds

Probability: 55%

Jonquel Jones is tied for fourth in the WNBA with 15 double-doubles. She’s recorded one in three straight games and four of her last five, including two straight on the road.

The Sky have allowed the most rebounds (36.9) and sport the second-lowest rebound percentage (47.7), setting Jones up nicely to have a productive night on the glass.

Dream vs Aces prop: A'ja Wilson Over 24.5 points

Probability: 53%

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson is coming off a 32-point outing in her last game vs. Minnesota, and she’s scored at least 25 in nine of her last dozen games.

Wilson has also tallied at least 20 points in her last 10 against the Atlanta Dream, busting through Tuesday’s 24.5 scoring line six times, and missing it by a bucket on two other occasions.

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.
