Top WNBA Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Janelle Salaun U 10.5 Points (-125)
Salaun is coming off a 14-point outing vs. the Dream, but she had scored 10 points or fewer in four straight prior to this. Salaun has fallen short of 10.5 points in five of her last 10 and she is facing the Mystics tonight, who are one of the toughest matchups in the league this season.
Washington ranks third in defensive rating and 10th in pace. The Mystics have held four of their last five opponents to under 80 points and the Valkyries’ implied team total for this matchup is just 81.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook. Salaun shouldn’t do much scoring in this spot and she is a strong investment for under 10.5 points.
Awa Fam O 1.5 Made Three-Pointers (-135)
Fam has been terrific from deep in her rookie season. Fam is shooting 42% on three-pointers, which ranks fifth among the players who have attempted at least 40 treys this season. After coming off the bench to start the season, Fam has started in 12 straight games and she has knocked down multiple three-pointers in seven of these contests.
During this run, Fam went 2-of-4 from beyond the arc vs. the Sparks on June 30th, who she will face again tonight. Los Angeles is the worst-rated defense in the league and the club is giving up the second-most made three-pointers per game this season (9.3). In this spot, Fam finishing with multiple makes from deep is likely.
Dearica Hamby O 14.5 Points (-114)
The Sparks will remain without Kelsey Plum (leg) and Cameron Brink (ankle) for the third game in a row tonight vs. the Storm. Both are high-usage players and with them missing for the past two, Hamby has scored 21 points vs. the Tempo and 15 points vs. the Fever.
The veteran has seen usage rates of 27.5% and 29.6% in these tilts, and with both Plum and Brink off the court this season, Hamby is averaging an elite 2.0 points per minute. The Storm rank ninth in defensive rating and 14.5 points is too low of a bar for Hamby in this optimal situation, especially with this game at home in Los Angeles, where she is scoring 0.8 PPG more than on the road this season.
