The WNBA season continues Tuesday night with a two-game slate. The Valkyries are hosting the Liberty and the Mercury are hosting the Fever. Below, I have featured three of my favorite WNBA player prop bets for these contests on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Top WNBA Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Veronica Burton 27+ Points and Rebounds and Assists (-120)
Tiffany Hayes (knee) will remain sidelined Tuesday, marking her fifth absence in the Valkyries’ last six games and with the guard unavailable, Burton is a great bet to post 27+ PRA. In these last four sans Hayes, Burton is averaging 18 points, 11.3 assists and 4.75 rebounds in 32.3 minutes per game, resulting in 34 PRA per game.
The 25-year-old has reached 27 PRA in three of these four games and tonight, Burton is facing a Liberty team that has slipped to eighth in defensive rating since the All-Star break. With only five games left in the regular season and the Valkyries barely hanging onto a playoff spot as the No.6 seed, this is a crucial tilt for Golden State. Burton should see huge minutes in this situation and stuff the stat sheet for at least 27 PRA.
Kelsey Mitchell U 2.5 Made Three Pointers (-115)
Mitchell has gone cold from deep recently. The guard has stayed under 2.5 made three pointers in four straight games, and this trend should continue tonight vs. the Mercury. Since the All-Star break, Phoenix is limiting its opponents to the fourth-fewest made three pointers (7.9) on the fourth-lowest three-point percentage in the WNBA (31.2%).
Mitchell’s two matchups against the Mercury this season both have been since the All-Star break, and she only finished with one made three pointer in both of these contests. Overall, Mitchell is shooting a poor 2-for-9 on three pointers vs. Phoenix this season.
Kahleah Copper O 15.5 Points (-125)
Copper has been rock solid in her 10th season in the WNBA, averaging 16.3 PPG while shooting 44% from the field and 41% from beyond the arc. The veteran is logging 27.2 minutes per game and handling a 26.8% usage rate, both of which rank second for the Mercury this season.
Copper has been red-hot as of late, scoring 18, 28 and 22 points in her last three starts, and she is facing a Fever team tonight that ranks ninth in defensive rating since the All-Star break and is missing many key players, most notably Caitlin Clark (groin). Copper lit Indiana up for 22 points back in late July, and she has similar upside tonight.
