Alex Hunter breaks down his favorite WNBA player prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Sunday’s two-game slate.
Sunday presents a two-game WNBA slate. The Tempo are hosting the Sky and the Sparks are hosting the Fire. Below, I have featured three of my favorite WNBA player prop bets for these contests on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Top WNBA Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Marina Mabrey O 25.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-118)
Mabrey is in a great spot vs. the Sky, who rank second in pace and ninth in defensive rating this season. These clubs just went head-to-head on May 27th and Mabrey posted 24 points, seven assists and four rebounds in 28 minutes that night. Kiki Rice logged 34 minutes in that game, but she will be out Sunday with a sprained ankle, opening up more usage for Mabrey.
Mabrey has yet to play a full game without Rice, but with Rice off the floor this season, Mabrey’s usage increases 2.1 percentage points to a huge 32%. The veteran should see a ton of shots and clear 25.5 PRA with ease in Rice’s absence.
Sarah Barker O 14.5 Points + Rebounds (-121)
Barker has been strong as of late. In her last five games, the second-year guard has finished with 15, 16, 21, 11 and 22 PR. That last outing came Friday vs. the Mercury and Barker started for the first time this season. With the first unit, Barker logged a season-high 29 minutes, she saw a 20% usage rate and shot 6-of-10 from the field.
The Fire lost this game by six points, but Barker led Portland’s starters in plus/minus. The 24-year-old should start again Sunday and she is in a prime matchup vs. the Sparks, who rank dead last in defensive rating and third in pace. Barker could flirt with a double-double in this spot and is an awesome bet for over 14.5 PR.
Kelsey Plum O 21.5 Points (-117)
Plum (ankle) made her return from a three-game absence Friday vs. the Wings and showed no signs of rust. In 33 minutes, the four-time All-Star finished with 27 points while shooting 10-of-16 from the field. This season, Plum is averaging 26.9 PPG on 59% shooting while handling a 27.8% usage rate, all of which are career highs for the guard.
Plum has scored at least 25 points in all but one of her seven starts and tonight, she is facing a Fire team that ranks 12th in defensive rating. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Sparks carry a 91.5-point implied team total, which is the highest of the four WNBA teams in action Sunday. Plum’s scoring line being all the way down to 21.5 points in this spot truly doesn’t make sense and she is a must-bet for this over.
