First up, the Phoenix Mercury (10-4) will face Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky (3-8) in the Windy City. Their second meeting of the season, the Mercury edged out the Sky, 94-89, in late May. With star guard Kahleah Copper back in action, the Mercury are tabbed as heavy -550 moneyline favorites today. Fresh off a four-game win streak, can the Mercury finish off their four-game road trip undefeated? Set to play their fourth game in seven games, it's been a tough stretch for Phoenix.

At 3-8, the Sky are coming off a 79-72 loss against the Washington Mystics despite holding a 16-point lead. 1-4 in their last five games, the Sky's struggles continue. Over the last four games, they've conceded to the Dream and Liberty by 18 points or more.

The late-night showdown will feature the Los Angeles Sparks (4-9) and the Minnesota Lynx (11-1). The franchise's best start since 2017, the Lynx are headed to the Commissioner's Cup Championship against the Indiana Fever. MVP candidate Naphessa Collier did not return to the last game due to a back injury. Head Coach Cheryl Reeve admitted Collier has disc issues in her back. Questionable to lace up, Minnesota is tabbed as heavy 10.5 point spread favorites.

With one loss to the Seattle Storm on the season, the Lynx have their sights set on a WNBA Championship. As for the Sparks, they were obliterated by the Lynx, 101-78 just last week. In rebuild mode amid injuries, LA is 3-7 in their last ten games. The Sparks get Kelsey Plum back today, yet are missing several pieces.

WNBA Player Props For Saturday, June 21

Player Prop Bet #1: Kayla McBride

Kayla McBride 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 8 | PPG: 14.5 | FG: 44 % | FT: 44 % | 3PT: 40.7 % | REB: 2.9 | AST: 3.9 | STL: 1.5 | BLK: 0

• OVER 13.5 Points (+100 FanDuel)

My first bet for today, I placed one unit on Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride to record over 13.5 points against the Los Angeles Sparks.

Sure, I'm aware McBride has combined for 12 points over the last two outings against the Aces and Sparks. Scoring four points in the Lynx's 101-78 Commissioner's Cup game victory over LA, it was Napheesa Collier who led the way with 32 points. As for McBride, she was limited to 21 minutes in the blowout.

I'm confident this is a bounce back game for McBride, who shot just 2-10, and 0-7 from beyond the arc against the Sparks. Her shooting woes continued last matchup against the Aces, where No. 21 shot 3-12 from the field, and 0-5 from three. Over the last two games, McBride is 0-12 from deep, and is shooting 22.5 percent from the floor.

We are talking about one of the most premier shooters in the WNBA. Averaging 14.5 points on the season, I do believe this player prop has great value at +100 odds. Through eight games, McBride is still shooting 40.7 percent from beyond the arc.  Not to mention, her 95.2 percent free-throw percentage is a career-high.

The team will already be missing Jessica Shepard (Eurobasket), and Collier is not a sure lock to suit up. The Lynx second leading scorer with 14.5 points per game, McBride has soared over this player prop line in six of eight games this season.

Why Kayla McBride Has A Prime Matchup Against the Los Angeles Sparks

In those six games where she's soared over 13.5 points, McBride is averaging 17.3 points over than span. That's against top teams in the Storm and Mercury.

With Collier, McBride is averaging 10.5 FGA, and 6.8 3PA per game. If Phee is unable to suit up, I'm fully expecting McBride to soar over this line. Even so, the Sparks have well documented struggles on the defensive end.

Allowing 41.5 points per game to guards, the Sparks rank No. 10 in defensive rating (107). Without Odyssey Sims (Personal), Kelsey Plum and Sarah Ashlee Barker will continue to lead the backcourt for LA. Last matchup, Storm guards Skylar Diggins and Erica Wheeler combine for 30 points. Against the Aces, guard Chelsea Gray erupted for 28 points.

Sixth in 3-point attempts per game in the WNBA, Kayla McBride is truly a three-level struggle. Where McBride thrives most is the 20-24 foot range, where she's shooting 37.2 percent. Middle of the road guarding this range, the Sparks allow opponents to shoot 33.3 percent from that area.

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Kayla McBride OVER 13.5 Points (+110 FanDuel)

That's not to say McBride can't score from anywhere else. A flamethrower from beyond the arc, she's a fierce in attacking downhill. Plus, she's just 49 points shy of hitting 5,000 career points.

• I'm taking Kayla McBride to record over 13.5 points today. I do believe the books are sleeping on this line, and she's one of the Lynx most consistent scorers. Averaging 33+ minutes in five games, McBride has scored over 13.5 points in five games. Not to mention, she has a high shot volume behind Collier. 

Player Prop Bet #2: Alyssa Thomas

Alyssa Thomas 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 9 | PPG: 14.8 | FG: 53% | FT: 64.3 % | 3PT: 0 % | REB: 7.7 | AST: 9.0 | STL: 1.8 |  BLK: 0.7

• OVER 22.5 Points + Assists (-122 FanDuel)

My second best bet for today, I placed one unit on Phoenix Mercury point forward Alyssa Thomas to record over 22.5 points and assists against the Chicago Sky.

Since her return and in her first season with Phoenix, is there anyone playing better than AT right now? A double-double machine, Thomas is coming off an impeccable 18-point, 15-rebounds, seven assist night against the reigning champion New York Liberty.

Considered one of the fiercest point forwards in the WNBA, can anyone stop Thomas defensively? Scoring 10+ points all all nine games, AT is averaging 15.3 points over the last three outings against the Liberty, Sun, and Aces. No to mention, aside form her first game back from injury, she's averaging 29 minutes and 10.3 FGA over that span.

Should Alyssa Thomas Be Included WNBA MVP Conversations?

Thomas isn't an outside shooter, due to shoulder injuries. However, let's talk about her shooting percentages. AT is shooting 55.9 percent from the field since her return on June 11, and has 15 trips to the charity stripe alone over the past two outings.

I'll call it how I see it, I don't see anyone stopping Thomas driving to the basket. Bettors already saw Thomas put together one of her most complete performances against the Sky this season. In the 94-89 victory over Chicago, AT recorded 10 points on 4-7 shooting, and 2-4 from the free-throw line. In 35 minutes, Thomas contributed 15 assists and seven rebounds.

Although Lexi Held has been ruled out for today's matchup, Thomas has a secret weapon that the Mercury didn't have in their last head-to-head matchup—Kahleah Copper.

Overall, Thomas has scored 16+ points in four games alone this season, and has 10+ assists over the last five games. In that sequence, we've seen AT erupt for some serious dimes! I'm talking 15, 10, 13, and 11 assists against the Sky, Wings, Aces, and Sun. Over the last five games, the "Engine" is averaging 11.8 assists alone.

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Alyssa Thomas OVER 22.5 Points + Assists (-122 FanDuel)

I'm confident in the assist prop, considering Thomas last erupted for 15 dimes against the Sky. Scoring wise, her sweet spot is less than five foot range, where she's shooting 67.3 percent. Overall, opponents are shooting 55.9 percent against the Sky from that range.

Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso are certainly a tough force for the Sky in the frontcourt. Allowing 34.4 paint points per game, Chicago allows forwards to average a combined 27 points and 6.4 assists per game.

• I'm taking Alyssa Thomas to record over 22.5 points and rebounds today. Mercury often plays positionless basketball, and Thomas is one of the most unique point forwards in the game. Over the last four head-to-head matchups with the Sky, Thomas is putting up an average of 23 points and assists. 

Player Prop Bet #3: Dearica Hamby

Dearica Hamby 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 13 | PPG: 16.8 | FG: 51.6 % | FT: 60.2 % | 3PT: 28.6 % | REB: 7.9 | AST: 3.8 | STL: 1.7 |  BLK: 0.5

• OVER 7.5 Rebounds (-122 FanDuel)

My third best bet for today, I placed one unit on Sparks forward Dearica Hamby to record over 7.5 rebounds against the Minnesota Lynx.

The Sparks second rebounding leader (7.9 RPG) behind Azura Stevens,  we saw how well Hamby performed in their last outing against the Lynx. Leading both the Sparks and Lynx with 12 boards, let's not sleep on the Olympian.

At 6-foot-3, Hamby has 7+ rebounds in seven games this season. Not to mention, she's averaging 8.2 rebounds over the last seven games, and 9.0 boards over the last four outings.

Now Hamby will face a Lynx team, who ranks middle of the road in rebounds per game (33.9 RPG). If Napheesa Collier is unable to suit up, I'm even more confident in this prop.

Overall, this isn't a Lynx team that's made a ton of changes since their Finals run last season. Over the last six head-to-head matchups, Hamby has recorded over 7.5 rebounds in five of them. Over the last six H2H outings, Hamby is averaging an impressive 9.3 rebounds per game.

Soaring over this prop twice against the Lynx this season, Hamby erupted for 10 and 12 rebounds against Minnesota this year. Her minutes have been inconsistent due to blowouts. However, Hamby is logging 33 minutes in two games vs the Lynx.

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Dearica Hamby OVER 7.5 Rebounds (-122 FanDuel)

Look for Hamby and Stevens to run the frontcourt with Cam Brink and Rae Burrell out with injuries. The Sparks aren't a dominant rebounding team (33.8 RPG). However, the Lynx are already without Jessica Sheppard, who's listed at 6-foot-4. Given Shepard is the second leading rebounder for the Lynx behind Collier (7.0), this gives Hamby a prime matchup today.

I'm taking Dearica Hamby to record over 7.5 rebounds today. Averaging 8.5 rebounds on the road, Hamby
