Best Alyssa Thomas Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Alyssa Thomas O 8.5 Rebounds (-145)

Since returning from the All-Star break, Thomas has been the WNBA’s best rebounder, averaging a league-high 11.7 rebounds per game. During this seven-game stretch, the veteran is handling a 41% rebound percentage and has grabbed at least 10 rebounds in every game. This includes a season-high 15-rebound performance vs. the Fever, who Thomas will face again tonight.

Both the Mercury and Fever rank inside the top-five in pace this season and this game carries a high 172.5-point total on DraftKings Sportsbook. Plus, Phoenix is only favored by four points, so this should be a competitive contest throughout, guaranteeing Thomas a huge workload. She is leading the Mercury with 32 minutes per game since the All-Star break, so Thomas is a must-bet for over 8.5 rebounds tonight, despite the heavy -145 price.
