Saturday’s Top 5 WNBA Player Prop Bets
Caitlin Clark Higher 28.5 Points Rebounds Assists (-120)
The Indiana rookie faces off against one of the toughest defenses in the league. Unfortunately, 2-of-3 encounters have been anything but successful.
Caitlin Clark is averaging just under 17 points in situations where she plays an opponent for the second time or more. However, the assists and rebound numbers give us confidence that Clark has a very good chance to clear 28.5 points, rebounds, and assists.
The Indiana guard is averaging 17.1 points, 9.0 assists, and 7.5 rebounds over the last six games. Clark scored at least 15 points in all six contests as well.
The total we need to clear today does not represent recent play. Instead, it’s heavily focused on two very bad results against New York. When these teams met on 5/18, Clark scored 22 points, eight assists, and six rebounds.
Breanna Stewart Higher 20.5 Points (-125)
Breanna Stewart may have started the season a bit sluggish, though, recently, she has been playing at an elite level, which has propelled the Liberty into first place in the league.
The New York forward is averaging 21.1 points on 51.7% shooting from the field in the last seven games. In the three contests against Indiana, she averages 22.6 points on 50.8% shooting from the field.
Stewart is a tough matchup for any team, and the Fever is even more so. Indiana simply does not have the defensive prowess to limit outside shooting, and the team is extremely vulnerable regarding size.
There will be no shortage of ways for the Liberty forward to score. The Fever allow over 87 points per game on 44.9% shooting. Indiana also ranks last in defensive rating. They are tied for most second-chance points allowed (12.6) and second from the bottom in regards to fast-break points allowed.
Sabrina Ionescu Higher 3.5 Three-Pointers (+120)
The New York guard heads into this contest coming off three games in a row without successfully knocking down more than 3.5 three-pointers.
A matchup with the Indiana Fever could be exactly what is required to break this tough stretch. Not only are the Fever giving up over eight three-pointers each contest, but they are also doing so at 35.8%.
Before the previous three games, Ionescu connected on four three-pointers or more in four straight contests. Even though she is currently struggling from beyond the arc, it hasn’t affected her attempts. Ionescu has shot 10 times or more from deep in three straight games.
The return of Courtney Vandersloot is quite beneficial as well. Not only can Ionescu focus more on scoring, but she is shooting 71% on assisted three-pointers in road games for the season.
Kelsey Mitchell Higher 2.5 Three-Pointers (+100)
Keeping with the deep ball, Kelsey Mitchell has been absolutely scorching from beyond the arc as of late. Over the last six games, the Indiana guard averages 3.8 three-pointers, including five in the last contest.
The Liberty have a hounding, intelligent defense that is certainly going to make shooting from the perimeter as difficult as possible for the Fever.
However, Mitchell has successfully made two or more three-pointers in two of three games against New York, only seeing 17 minutes of playing time in the sole contest where the total fell short.
The Fever guard has averaged 7.75 three-point attempts over the last four games, with a 47.5% success rate.
Even though New York is a formidable opponent, the recent volume and accuracy make this +100 line extremely difficult to pass up.
Kayla McBride Higher 16.5 Points (-125)
With Napheesa Collier doubtful in this contest, Kayla McBride has an opportunity to take the reigns as the top-scoring option for Minnesota.
McBride is averaging 15.7 points on the season and is one of the most efficient three-point shooters in the WNBA based on attempts. If Collier does indeed miss this contest, the offense will need a leader, which would create over 20 points available to the rest of the team.
Washington is allowing 83.5 points per game on 45.4% shooting from the field, including 8.3 three-pointers made on 34.7%. The Mystics have the fourth-worst defensive rating in the league and give up the second-most points off turnovers.
McBride has six made three-pointers in the last two games. At home, her averages increase to 3.1 three-pointers on 44.7% shooting.
The Minnesota guard has only cleared 16.5 points in 7-of-21 contests. With the Lynx missing a major piece of their offense, McBride should have a fantastic opportunity to score against an opponent with little rim or perimeter protection.
Enjoy the games today, and good luck with your picks!
