Wednesday presents a four-game WNBA slate. 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
Caitlin Clark O 21.5 Points (-122)
Tonight will be the second game in a row between the Fever and Mercury. Clark carried the same 21.5-point scoring line for the first leg of this mini series and the superstar finished with 24 points on 47% shooting. Clark seeing the same scoring line for tonight’s rematch with Phoenix is odd and something that needs to be taken advantage of.
Clark has been awesome, scoring 24+ points in five of her last six and during this span, she is shooting 49% from the field and handling a 31% usage rate. The Mercury are a great spot for Clark, ranking 11th in defensive rating and allowing the most made three-pointers per game (9.7), and she should once again flourish against them tonight.
Shakira Austin U 12.5 Points (-130)
Austin is facing the Lynx for the second straight game tonight and in the first matchup, Minnesota’s league-best defense held her to just seven points on 2-of-8 shooting. The Lynx rank first in defensive rating by a mile this season with a 98.1 rating, compared to the Liberty ranking second at 103.2. Austin struggling vs. Minnesota wasn’t surprising, not just because of how great the Lynx are defensively, but also because of how poorly she has been playing.
Austin has fallen short of 12.5 points in five of her last six, including three showings of single-digit points. Austin is shooting just 35.6% from the field during this stretch and she only logged 22 minutes in the first matchup vs. the Lynx, as backup center Lauren Betts saw increased minutes off the bench, including the final two minutes of the game over Austin. The Mystics impressively upset the Lynx in this contest and Betts finished a team-best +11 in the box score while Austin finished a team-worst -6. Austin should continue to lose minutes to Betts tonight and another low-scoring performance for Austin is very likely.
Sarah Barker O 4.5 Rebounds (-135)
Barker is coming off a six-rebound performance vs. the Storm, who are giving up the second-most rebounds per game this season (36.7). The only team surrendering more rebounds per game is the Sky (40.1), who Barker is conveniently facing tonight.
Since joining the Fire’s starting lineup six games ago, Barker is logging 27.8 minutes per game – which ranks second for the team – and she has grabbed 5+ rebounds in 3-of-6 games. Barker should be active on the glass tonight and topping 4.5 rebounds shouldn’t be difficult for the 24-year-old.
