Top WNBA Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Caitlin Clark O 32.5 Points + Assists (-121)
Clark has been on a tear, averaging 25.4 points and 9.4 assists in 35.7 minutes per game in her last five while topping 32.5 PA in 3-of-5 contests. Over this time, Clark is shooting 49% from the field and 44% on three-pointers. Additionally, she is leading the Fever with a 30.4% usage rate and a 56.6% assist rate. In the middle of this stretch, Clark exposed the Wings for 29 points and 10 assists on 11-of-18 shooting, whom she will face again tonight.
No.1 pick Azzi Fudd (knee) missed that matchup for Dallas and the Wings just ruled her out for the remainder of the season yesterday, making this a beautiful matchup for Clark. Fudd has missed five straight games and during this span, the Wings rank second-to-last in defensive rating and they are allowing the most made three-pointers per game in the league (11.8). Clark should feast in this spot and clear 32.5 PA.
Rhyne Howard U 3.5 Made Three-Pointers (-149)
While Howard is a great deep shooter, this line is simply too high. Howard is averaging 3.2 made three-pointers per game while shooting 36% from beyond the arc this season. The veteran has fallen short of 3.5 made three-pointers in 18-of-34 games, including back-to-back starts entering tonight’s matchup vs. the Sparks.
Los Angeles is a great matchup, ranking second-to-last in defensive rating and giving up the third-most made three-pointers per game this season (9.2), but Howard cashed this under in her one meeting with the Sparks last month, going 3-of-7 from deep. Hitting 4+ treys in any matchup is a challenge and backing Howard for this under is a smart move.
Odyssey Sims U 0.5 Made Three-Pointers (-133)
After giving Sims three starts in a row, the Wings cut the cord and moved her back to the bench for Monday’s matchup vs. the Valkyries and the veteran was a non-factor. Sims went scoreless in her 12 minutes of work, including 0-of-2 from beyond the arc. This struggling Dallas team put up a decent fight in this contest, losing by eight points to the No.2-seeded Valkyries on their home floor, so Sims should continue to come off the bench tonight, which has been her usual role this season.
Sims has come off the bench in 16-of-27 games and she has been terrible from deep as a reserve, shooting a putrid 17% on three-pointers. Sims has failed to hit a trey in 14-of-16 games she has come off the bench and should go without a make from deep again tonight in a tough spot vs. the Fever. This season, Indiana is giving up the third-fewest made three-pointers per game (7.8).
