Best Kelsey Plum Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Kelsey Plum U 20.5 Points (-110)

Plum got off to a hot start this season but has cooled off recently, scoring 17 points or fewer in three straight games. During this stretch, the guard has shot an ugly 29% from the field and a putrid 19% from beyond the arc. Overall, Plum owns a negative net rating this season and has stayed under 20.5 points in five of her nine starts.

As for her matchup, Plum is facing the Valkyries for the third time this season. She opened the season with a 37-point outing against Golden State, but when she faced the Valkyries again just a week later, Plum finished with only 16 points.

Ranking seventh in defensive rating, Golden State is a middle-of-the-pack defense this season. That being said, the club has been excellent at protecting the paint as this Valkyries defense is giving up the fewest points in that area in the WNBA. Nearly 30% of Plum’s points have come in the painted area this season, so backing her for under 20.5 points in this spot makes a ton of sense.
