Top WNBA Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Gabby Williams O 14.5 Points (-109)
Williams is in a tough spot vs. the Lynx, who rank third in defensive rating, but she will be at home and should see big minutes in this clash between the top two teams in the standings. Williams has been dramatically better on her home floor this season, scoring 16.5 PPG, compared to 12.6 PPG on the road. Also, after seeing 23 minutes or less in her first five starts since the All-Star break, Williams was set free Monday vs. the Wings.
The veteran logged 32 minutes and went off for 23 points on 8-of-20 shooting. The Valkyries are likely trying to ramp up Williams for the playoffs with only 10 games remaining in the regular season and if she sees anywhere close to 32 minutes again tonight, Williams should cruise past 14.5 points, regardless of the Lynx’s stout defense being on the other side. Williams is leading Golden State with a 28.2% usage rate and she is averaging 18.7 PPG when she has logged at least 25 minutes this season (17 games).
Napheesa Collier U 7.5 Rebounds (-118)
In a tough matchup vs. the Valkyries, this line is slightly too high for Collier. The forward is averaging 7.3 rebounds per game and she has topped 7.5 rebounds in 5-of-9 games this season. However, Collier has mostly faced easy matchups since making her season debut last month and she should slow down in this challenging spot vs. Golden State.
The Valkyries rank dead last in pace and are giving up the fifth-fewest rebounds per game as a result (32.7). Golden State hasn’t allowed a player to exceed 7.5 rebounds in three straight games and Collier is a great bet to fall short of this number.
Isabelle Harrison U 0.5 Made Three-Pointers (+134)
Harrison’s outside shooting has been pitiful recently. The forward has gone without a made three-pointer in seven of her last nine games and she is shooting an ugly 14% from beyond the arc over this time.
Harrison is facing the Mystics tonight for the third time this season and in the first two matchups, she went without a make from deep in both contests. Washington ranks second in defensive rating, second-to-last in pace and fourth in opponent three-point percentage (33%). This is a terrible matchup and Harrison not hitting a trey in this spot is a likely outcome.
