One of two games in the WNBA late slate tonight, the Washington Mystics travel to the West Coast for a meeting with the Golden State Valkyries. Washington should handle business against the league’s newest expansion franchise, but there are plenty of betting opportunities to check out in this contest on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Here’s the top Brittney Sykes prop bets to consider for Mystics at Valkyries, which tips off at 10 p.m. EST.

Best Brittney Sykes prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

The Mystics enter the action as 4.5-point favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook, which lists them as -192 favorites to win outright on the Moneyline. As for the Valkyries, they’re +160 to win on the Moneyline with the game total set at 162 combined points.

Brittney Sykes posted 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game last season for the Mystics before her season ended early due to an injury. Now fully healthy and back on the floor, the 5-foot-9 guard opened the 2025 campaign with a 22-point, five-assist performance in Washington’s first game before going for 27 points and seven dimes on Sunday.

She looks like a focal point of the offense with at least 13 shots in each contest thus far, so attacking Sykes’ points line could be the move tonight against a weak Valkyries lineup. Bettors can take her to record 21+ points at -130 odds, or push the risk a bit higher for better value at +200 odds to record 25+ points. Either way, watch for Sykes to keep firing in this one.
