Sunday’s WNBA playoff action features a pair of elimination games with trips to the Finals on the line.
The latest: The Phoenix Mercury and Las Vegas Aces are favoured to close out their respective series against the Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx. I’m backing Indiana’s Kelsey Mitchell and Phoenix’s Alyssa Thomas to stuff the stat sheet.
Check out the best WNBA prop bets for Sept. 28.
WNBA prop bets
Best bet: Thomas over 17.5 rebounds & assists (-132)
Thomas is having a postseason that would make the best players jealous.
The WNBA’s career triple-doubles leader is flirting with that line, averaging 17.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 9.0 assists.
Thomas’ nightly rebounds/assists line averages out to exactly 17.5, and she came one counting stat shy in Game 3. But the forward went off for eight rebounds and 13 assists in Game 2 and should have an easier time putting up numbers if Napheesa Collier can’t suit up.
Collier, the 2024 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, suffered an ankle injury toward the end of Friday’s contest and “probably has a fracture,” according to Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve.
That would be a massive blow to Minnesota’s chances of completing a series comeback, but it’s a boon for this wager.
Key stat: Thomas is leading the WNBA playoffs in minutes per game (36.7).
Best WNBA picks
Mitchell 20+ points (-141): This bet should come close to hitting every night from a volume standpoint alone.
Mitchell has been Indiana’s top dog since Caitlin Clark played her last game on July 15, leading the Fever in these categories on a per-game basis:
- MIN (31.7)
- Points (21.2)
- FGA (16.3)
- 3PA (7.0)
And she’s been consistently filling the basket in the postseason, averaging 23.0 PPG even with an ugly 41.8 FG%.
That’s because she’s taking 18.3 shots a night.
Mitchell is 4-2 against this line in the playoffs, landing on 19 points in one of the outliers.
