Top WNBA Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Kahleah Copper U 20.5 Points (-122)
Copper is coming off a 38-point outburst vs. the Dream, but she should come back down to earth tonight for two reasons. First off, Copper is in a tough spot vs. the Mystics, who rank third in defensive rating and second-to-last in pace. Secondly, Kelsey Plum (leg) will be back for the Mercury, which significantly hurts Copper’s role.
Plum is a ball-dominant player who is leading Phoenix with a 31% usage rate since being traded to the club at the deadline. Plum has made three starts in a Mercury uniform and in those games, Copper has scored 14, 16 and 15 points, with that final outing coming against the same Mystics team she will face tonight. The guard is handling a 28.5% usage rate this season, but when sharing the floor with Plum, Copper is seeing a 24.4% usage rate and she is averaging 16.2 points per 36 minutes.
Natasha Mack U 7.5 Rebounds (-135)
Continuing with the Mercury, this line is oddly too high for Mack tonight. The veteran may start tonight after DeWanna Bonner and Phoenix agreed to a buyout yesterday, but that doesn’t mean Mack is going to top 7.5 rebounds vs. the Mystics.
Washington is giving up the fewest rebounds per game in the league (30.2) and Mack started in her lone matchup vs. the Mystics this season, just recently on Aug. 9, and the 28-year-old finished with seven rebounds in 22 minutes that night. Mack is averaging 8.0 rebounds per game when starting this season, but she has fallen short of 7.5 rebounds in each of her last three starts.
Awak Kuier O 14.5 Points + Rebounds (-101)
Kuier has started in each of the last two games for the Wings with Azzi Fudd (knee) done for the season and Kuier has been rock solid with the first unit. First, she posted 11 points and eight rebounds in 36 minutes vs. the Fever and then, she finished with nine points and seven rebounds in 26 minutes vs. the Storm.
Dallas won both these games and Kuier ranks fourth in plus/minus for the team during this stretch. The Wings would be foolish if they didn’t continue to give Kuier a big workload tonight and she is in a beautiful spot vs. the Fire. Portland ranks second-to-last in defensive rating and Kuier should have no issues clearing 14.5 PR in this matchup.
