With the 2025 WNBA season now in full swing, the Phoenix Mercury host the Los Angeles Sparks tonight for what should be a fun duel between Alyssa Thomas and Kelsey Plum. Phoenix enters on the heels of a 22-point blowout win in their opening game of the campaign, so they look to follow it up with another dominant showing.

Here’s the best Alyssa Thomas prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Mercury vs. Sparks tonight ahead of the 10 p.m. EST tip-off.

A five-time All-Star, Thomas enters the new year coming off a 10.6-point, 8.4-rebound, 7.9-assist campaign last season in which she shot an impressive 61.5% from the field. While her scoring production took a bit of a hit, she still earned her third All-WNBA selection and finished fifth in MVP voting thanks to her all-around impact.

After moving from the Connecticut Sun to the Mercury this offseason, Thomas hit the ground running in her first game with the franchise. She posted 20 points, seven rebounds, and five assists in 30 minutes during the win, finishing second on the team in scoring behind only Satou Sabally.

Sure, the Sparks added Kelsey Plum over the offseason, but the Mercury still enter tonight’s game as -230 favorites to win on the Moneyline as 5.5-point favorites.

What’s the top Thomas prop for this contest? Well, 35+ PTS + REB + AST looks like a fun line to play at -105 odds in this one. The veteran forward contributes across the board and steps in as a top-two offensive option on this Mercury team. She’ll crash the glass plenty tonight, and after a 20-point outing in her last game, Thomas should follow it up with another strong performance against a middling Sparks roster.
