The semifinals of the WNBA playoffs continue Tuesday with two Game 2s. The Aces are hosting the Fever, and the Lynx are hosting the Mercury. 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
Kelsey Mitchell O 20.5 Points (-110)
Despite Mitchell’s incredible play, her scoring line continues to be too low and she is a must-bet for over 20.5 points for tonight’s Game 2 vs. the Aces. In Game 1 this past Sunday, the Fever went into Las Vegas and upset the Aces by 16 points and Mitchell was once again outstanding, scoring a season-high 34 points in 34 minutes while shooting 12-of-22 from the field. Mitchell is now averaging 26 PPG this postseason, which is tied with MVP winner A’ja Wilson for the highest average in the playoffs.
Mitchell has scored at least 24 points in three of her four playoff starts and that outlier performance was a 19-point showing in Game 2 vs. the Dream in the first round, when Mitchell didn’t play in the fourth quarter due to a blowout by Indiana.
Mitchell is handling a huge 29.7% usage rate this postseason, which ranks second only to Wilson for the highest in the league and is a notable increase from Mitchell’s 27.7% average in the regular season. While the oddsmakers are expecting Las Vegas to bounce back big in Game 2 with the club favored by nine points on DraftKings Sportsbook, the Fever are playing extremely inspiring basketball right now and them getting blown out tonight feels very unlikely, especially with the Aces’ defense struggling, as Las Vegas ranks third-to-last in defensive rating this postseason. Mitchell should see huge minutes as Indiana looks to take a commanding 2-0 lead in this best-of-five series and she should have another large showing as a scorer.
Satou Sabally 21+ Points and Rebounds (-120)
After a subpar 10-point, six-rebound outing in Game 1 vs. the Lynx, Sabally should respond with a better performance in Game 2, as the Mercury look to avoid an 0-2 series deficit. The veteran is averaging 14.3 points and 8.3 rebounds in 33.3 minutes per game this postseason and Sabally averaged 20.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in her two matchups vs. Minnesota in the regular season.
While shooting 44% from the field, Sabally posted at least 23 PR in both those matchups with the Lynx. The three-time All-Star is leading Phoenix with a 28.5% usage rate this season and Sabally has a great chance to reach 21 PR in Tuesday’s crucial Game 2.
Chelsea Gray O 1.5 Made Three-Pointers (+170)
As a two-time WNBA champion and former WNBA Finals MVP, Gray is no stranger to these big playoff moments and at this appealing +170 price, Gray has a ton of merit for over 1.5 made three-pointers in Tuesday’s pivotal Game 2, despite this being a tough matchup vs. the Fever.
Indiana ranks third in defensive rating this postseason, but Gray has been stellar from deep recently. The 32-year-old went 2-for-5 on three-pointers in Sunday’s Game 1 vs. the Fever and in her last 10 starts, Gray is shooting an elite 51% from beyond the arc and she has hit multiple three-pointers in seven of these 10 games.
