The opening weeks of the 2025 WNBA regular season keep rolling tonight as the Los Angeles Sparks host the Golden State Valkyries to round out the late slate on the West Coast. Offseason addition Kelsey Plum looks like an early MVP candidate through her first few games as a member of the Sparks, so will she continue her excellent start to the season tonight?

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

Plum, a three-time All-Star and two-time WNBA champion, was traded to L.A. over the summer as part of a three-team deal. She’s wasted no time getting acquainted in her new surroundings, averaging 26.7 points per game — second-most in the league — along with 5.7 assists and 2.7 steals. She’s one of the top talents in this league, and as the main piece on this Sparks roster, she’s truly shining with her new team.

Plum exploded for 37 points and five assists in the opening game of the 2025 season, then went for 25 points and six assists five days later. She’s one of the WNBA’s top scorers, and with increased shot volume in L.A., her ability is fully in the spotlight.

As for tonight’s top Kelsey Plum prop bet, I like the star guard to post 25+ points at -110 odds against the Valkyries. Plum saw 19 shot attempts in both games in which she hit this 25-point line, and she still saw 14 shots in the contest she failed to meet the line in. The shot volume to succeed is there, and at 45.8% from three, Plum’s hitting at an elite rate from beyond the arc. The offense will again run through her, so targeting the points line makes too much sense.
