The Washington Mystics (3-4) will travel to Indianapolis to face the Indiana Fever (2-4) on the road. Without Caitlin Clark, the Fever are riding a three-game losing streak against the Sun, Mystics, and Liberty. 5.5 point spread favorites at home, the Fever get a rematch after an 83-77 loss against Washington last week?  Can Indiana bounce back without Caitlin Clark in the lineup?

Next up, the Minnesota Lynx (7-0) will host the Phoenix Mercury (5-2) at home tonight.  Large 12.5 point spread favorites, the Lynx and Liberty remain the two undefeated teams in the WNBA. On pace for another finals appearance, the Lynx are off to their best start since the 2017 season. Now they face a gritty Mercury team, who's managed to stay afloat with Kahleah Copper and Alyssa Thomas.

For the late-night matchup, the Seattle Storm (3-4) will host the Dallas Wings (1-6) in the Emerald City. Fresh off a three game skid, the Storm are coming off a 75-70 loss against the A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces. Today, they are heavy 10.5 point spread favorites against a Dallas team that continues to be without rookie star Paige Bueckers. With just one victory on the season, the Wings have dropped back-to-back matchups against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.

WNBA Player Props For Tuesday, June 3

Player Prop Bet #1: Napheesa Collier

Napheesa Collier 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 6 | PPG: 26.3 | FG: 51.4 % | FT: 92.5 % | 3PT: 45% | REB: 8.3 | AST: 3.2| STL: 2.3 |  BLK: 1.3

• OVER 22.5 Points (-114 FanDuel)

My first best bet for today, I placed one unit on Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier to record over 22.5 points vs the Phoenix Mercury.

There's no denying Collier is having an MVP season. Through six games, she is the overwhelming favorite on FanDuel Sportsbook to win the 2025 MVP at -270 odds.

Leading the WNBA with 26.3 points per game, no one makes more field goals in the league than Collier (9.3 FGM).

• Additionally, Collier leads in several statistical and ranks among the top on both sides of the ball.

Ranking No. 9 in rebounds per game (8.3), Collier is top five in blocks (1.5), and steals (2.3) per game. In addition to logging a career-high in minutes (35.5), Collier is averaging personal bests in points, minutes, steals, 3-point (45 %), and free-throw percentage (92.5 %).

Having led the Lynx to the WNBA Finals, we saw Collier dominate in the inaugural season of Unrivaled. Since, not much has changed. The Lynx leading scorer, Collier leads Minnesota on both sides of the ball.

• Among a talented roster coached by Cheryl Reeve, she leads the roster with 18.2 field goal attempts, and 6.7 trips to the charity stripe per game.

Not only has Collier been monstrous on the court—she's been consistent. Logging 32+ minutes in all six games, she's coming off a 24-point, 11-rebound, 2-steal, and one block performance against the Golden State Valkyries. In 37 minutes, Collier was monumental in the mid-range, and continues to show why she's one of the most elite three-level scorers in the game.

Napheesa Collier Is A WNBA MVP Candidate

Even with Kayla McBride back in the lineup, Collier's shooting hasn't been nearly as efficient from the floor the last two outings. Nevertheless, she has 36 shot attempts over that span, including nine trips to the free-throw line.

Mind you, Collier is coming of 24 points, and that was on a limited 8-18 shooting (44.4 %). Over the first six games, she's recorded 23+ points in five of them.

• Now the Lynx will face a Mercury team who are gritty on the defensive end. Ranking No. 2 in defensive rating (93.4), Phoenix limits opponents to 31.4 points per game.

With that said, the Mercury will continue to be without stars Alyssa Thomas, Kahleah Copper, and Natasha Mack. If Kalani brown is unable to suit up, the Mercury frontcourt will be extremely thin. Even so, the Mercury have a ton of oversized guards—under Nate Tibbets system, positionless basketball may play in his favor.

Although the Mercury is known for their defensive prowess this season, this is their second matchup of the season. Able to overcome a seven point deficit, the Lynx pulled out a 74-71 victory over the Mercury on the road.

Mind you, Collier missed the matchup with a knee injury.  This season, the Mercury allowed Chicago Sky stars Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso to combine for 29 points.

• Against Seattle, Nneka Ogwumike last erupted for 24 points on May 23.

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Napheesa Collier  OVER 22.5 Points (-114 FanDuel)

With Collier back full and healthy, I truly believe this prop line is set too low.  Although Minnesota hasn't played the strongest of opponents—Collier only soared under that line ONCE just season.

• In that matchup against Seattle, she shot just 7-18, and 0-3 from the 3-point line.

I don't expect that tonight, as Collier is shooting4 45 percent from beyond the arc, and 51.4 percent from the floor. With a 26.5 percent usage rate, Collier is shooting an impeccable 67.9 percent from the restricted area. Not to mention, she's shooting 50 percent from 6-18 feet.

• Collier and Natisha Hiedeman have a nice two-player connection going. I'm taking Napheesa Collier to record over 22.5 points today. With back-to-back 37 minute performances, Collier has scored 73 points over the last three games.

Player Prop Bet #2: Nneka Ogwumike

Nneka Ogwumike 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 7 | PPG: 16.9 | FG: 50.5 % | FT: 69.2 % | 3PT : 25 % | REB: 9.0 | AST: 2.3 | STL: 1.3 |  BLK: 0.3

• OVER  17.5 Points (-135 DraftKings)

My second best bet for today, I placed one unit on Seattle Storm star Nneka Ogwumike to record over 17.5 points agains the Dallas Wings today.

There's no doubt Ogwumike has had some trouble finding her footing this season with some inconsistent outings. However, she remains one of the most powerful forces in the WNBA and has a fairly decent matchup against Dallas.

I know, Ogwumike is coming off a rough shooting night in the Storm's 75-70 loss against A'ja Wilson and the Aces.

• In 34 minutes, No. 3 added nine points, 8 rebounds, two assists, and one block. Shooting just 4-13 from the field, she shot 1-3 from beyond the arc.

Even amongst a strong frontcourt alongside Ezi Magbegor and rookie Domonique Malonga, Ogwumike is the Storm's second leading scorer. Commanding the team with 14.7 shot attempts per game, minutes and volume isn't an issue for Nneka.

• Shooting just over 50 percent from the field, her 3-point efficiency has dropped significantly (25 %).

How Paige Bueckers' Absence Affects The Dallas Wings

Either way, I'm not worried. We are just seven games into the 2025 WNBA season, and has recorded 18+ points in three of them. With three consecutive 23+ point performances against the Mercury, Aces and Wings—we've seen Ogwumike ignite a top defensive in Phoenix.

As the season progresses, I'm expecting Malonga to earn more minutes. With that said, I don't expect that to cut into Ogwumike's numbers.

• Not only has she logged 30+ minutes in three consecutive games, Nneka has 42 field goal attempts over that span (14 FGA).

In their first outing of the season, bettors saw the Storm route the Wings, 79-71. Although a low scoring affair, the Storm found their footing on offense through Nneka. Logging 35 minutes, Ogwumike led the Storm with 23 points and 18 rebounds. A force on the defensive end with two steals, she shot 10-21 from the field, 1-2 from deep, and 2-3 from the charity stripe.

There were times it felt Nneka Ogwumike was walking into the paint at times. While NaLyssa Smith has shown major growth, especially defensively—the Dallas frontcourt could use some depth and size.

Now without Paige Bueckers, the Wings lose a decent size player, although listed as a guard. As a team, the Wings rank No. 11 in defensive rating (108.5), allowing nearly 90 points per game (89.1).

• With that, the Wings allow the eighth most paint points per game with 34.6.  Even worse, the Wings are giving up 31 points per game to forwards.

We recently saw Sky center Kamilla Cardoso explode for 23 points against Dallas. Against Connecticut, Tina Charles erupted for 31. Early in the season, Napheesa Collier record 28 and 34 points against the Wings. I am expecting Chris Konclanes to continue to start Smith and Myisha Hines-Allen together for the Dallas frontcourt.

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Nneka Ogwumike OVER 17.5 Points (-135 DraftKings)

Give the Wings allow the ninth most second chance points (11 per game), this should be a solid matchup tonight—unless it's a blowout.

Bottom line, Teaira McCowan is nearly 6-foot-7, and will continue to come off the bench for Dallas. Inside and mid-range is where Nneka thrives the most. Ironically, Dallas is allowing opponents to shoot the highest percentage in the mid-range at 46.9 %.

• I'm taking Nneka Ogwumike to have another monstrous performance against the Dallas Wings + to record over 17.5 Points. 

Player Prop Bet #3: Kiki Iriafen

Kiki Iriafen 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 7 | PPG: 13.9 | FG: 47.4 % | FT: 83.3 % | 3PT : 0 % | REB: 10.1 | AST: 1.0 | STL: 0.4 |  BLK: 0.1

• OVER 21.5 Points + Rebounds (-120 FanDuel)

My third best bet for today, I placed one unit on Washington Mystics rookie Kiki Iriafen to record over 21.5 points and rebounds against the Indiana Fever.

There's no question Iriafen has been off to a blazing rookie campaign, and remains in the Rookie of the Year conversation.

• Averaging a double-double with 13.9 points and 10.1 rebounds, Iriafen remains a starter with Shakira Austin and Aaliyah Edwards back from injury.

She put up 12 points on 4-14 shooting against the New York Liberty. I'm not just talking about the reigning champs—New York is elite on both sides of the ball. No. 1 in offensive and defensive rating, Iriafen managed to pull in seven rebounds against Jonquel Jones and Breanna Stewart. Not to mention, New York has a ton of length and versatility.

Why Kiki Iriafen Can Soar Over This Player Prop Today Against The Indiana Fever

There's no doubt the absence of Caitlin Clark changes the Fever's dynamic on both sides of the ball. In their first matchup against the Fever, Iriafen proved her value with 16 points and eight rebounds. Now, the numbers may change depending how many minutes Austin and Edwards get. Mind you, Irifen was that effective, and that was with Edwards and Austin playing a combined 35 minutes.

Overall, Iriafen has been consistent for the Mystics, scoring in double-digits in all seven games, and posting four double-doubles.

• Although recent blowouts have prevented her from playing major minutes, she's still averaging 28.4 on the season.

We've seen Irifen challenge some of the best bigs in the WNBA, such as A'ja Wilson this season.  Although the Fever have Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard—the rookie is fearless.

While the Fever rank No.3 in defensive rating, they allow the seventh most paint points per game (33.3). As a rookie, she's shooting 62.2 percent from less than 5 feet, and 50 percent from the 15-19 foot mark.

• Overall, opponents are shooting 54.2 percent from less than 5 feet against the Fever.

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Kiki Iriafen OVER 21.5 Points + Rebounds (-120 FanDuel)

I do like this from a points perspective, especially since Iriafen has recorded 12+ points in five games thus far. From a rebound perspective, the Fever rank middle of the road on the boards (36 RPG). In fact, they allow the fourth most rebounds among opponents (36).

In seven gaes, Iriafan has recorded 12+ rebounds in four of them. I really do believe the books are sleeping on this line tonight.

• I'm taking Kiki Iriafen to record over 21.5 points and rebounds today. In her seven game rookie campaign, she's soared over this line in 4/7 games this year.
