The Seattle Storm (20-18, 12-8 Away) will face the Indiana Fever (19-18, 10-9 Home) in Indianapolis. Tabbed as 3.5-point spread and +145 moneyline underdogs, the Fever will remain without Caitlin Clark, Aari McDonald, Sophie Cunningham, and Sydney Colson with injuries. This is a critical game for both teams, as the Fever have dropped to the eighth seed. With a 19-18 record, the Fever remain just a half-game back of the Storm, who hold the sixth seed.

Can The Indiana Fever Survive Without Caitlin Clark?

Winners of three straight games, the Storm have had recent victories over the Washington Mystics, Dallas Wings, and Chicago Sky. Now they get a Fever team, who are feeling the effects of injuries. Despite signing Odyssey Sims and Aerial Powers, Indiana is 1-4 in their last five games. After suffering back-to-back losses to the Minnesota Lynx, the Fever have a tall task tonight.

With the playoffs looming, every game counts for both the Fever and Storm, who are fighting for playoff spots.

WNBA Player Props For Tuesday, August 26

Player Prop Bet #1: Domonique Malonga

Domonique Malonga 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 37 | PPG: 7.5 | FG: 54.4 % | FT: 65  % | 3PT: 21.4  % | REB: 4.6 | AST: 0.8 | STL:0.4 | BLK: 0.5

• OVER 11.5 Points (-135 DraftKings)

My first best bet for today, I placed one unit on Seattle Storm center Dominque Malonga to record over 11.5 points against the Indiana Fever.

Drafted No. 2 overall by the Storm in the 2025 WNBA Draft out of France, bettors and fans are starting to see why Seattle took Malonga. Plus, she's slowly become more of a steady fixture in head coach Noelle Quinn's system.

Prior to the All-Star break, it was impossible to bet on Dominique Malonga. Averaging just 8.8 minutes before the break, she's been utilized far more since All-Star weekend in Indianapolis.

Although averaging just 7.5 points on the season, don't let that fool you. Yes the Storm have a three-headed frontcourt monster in Malonga, Nneka Ogwumike, and Ezi Magbegor. However, one could argue Malonga has played so efficiently, she could earn a spot in the starting lineup.

A candidate for All-Rookie and Sixth Player of the Year, Malonga has pulled off some serious numbers in the back half of the season. Through 15 games post all-star she's averaging 12.1 points, compared to just 4.3 points per game prior.

Plus, she's averaging 20,5 minutes since the break, and 21.7 in August, which is north of a 133 percent increase since the first half of the season.

Is Dominque Malonga All-Rookie WNBA?

At 6 foot 7, not only is Malonga a rim protector, she has incredible movement and versatility for her size. Having movement that resembles a guard, we've now seen Malonga record 15+ points over the last three games.

Averaging 18 points per game over the last three outings, she's playing some serious minutes. Logging a career-high 30 minutes against Paige Bueckers and the Wings on August 22, she recorded 28 minutes last matchup against Washington.

While her shot volume has been a bit inconsistent, that's starting to change. Over the last three games, Malonga is averaging 14 FGA per game! The usage increase is happening in real time!

Although Malonga recorded four and 12 points against the Fever this season, her impact on the Storm is very much documented. Trending upward, her defensive and ability to keep up in transition should give her some easy looks.

Plus, even with Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard in the frontcourt, the Fever give up the fifth most points to centers. And recently, we've seen this with opponents. Over the last two weeks, Lynx center Jessica Shepard exploded for 22 points agains the Fever, while Sun center Tina Charles recorded 21 points.

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Dominique Malonga OVER 11.5 Points (-135 DraftKings)

While Malonga's scoring numbers have been a bit volatile from a betting persepctive, she's cleared this player prop bet in three straight games, and six of the last eight games.

It's a crucial matchup for both, get this line while you can. It''s clear Nneka Ogwumike and Dominique Malonga are a powerful duo, and the Fever allow opponents to shoot over 60 percent in the restricted area!

• I'm taking Dominque Malonga to record over 11.5 points today. I do believe this prop line is low, and she has tremendous upside tonight. 

Player Prop Bet #2: Aliyah Boston

Aliyah Boston 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 37 | PPG: 15.2 | FG: 54.6 % | FT: 77.9 % | 3PT: 20 % | REB: 8.2 | AST: 3.6 | STL: 1.0 | BLK: 1.0

• OVER 14.5 Points (-115 DraftKings)

My second best bet for today, I placed one unit on Indiana Fever's Aliyah Boston to record over 14.5 points against the Seattle Storm.

Through all the injuries the Fever have faced, Boston remains a constant for Indiana. Not having Caitlin Clark and company leaves a huge void, and now the Fever will be without forward Chloe Bibby.

The Fever have extra frontcourt depth with Aerial Powers, Damiris Dantas, and Makayla Timpson. However, not one player has made a significant impact from a betting scoring perspective.

Why Aliyah Boston Can Soar Over This Player Prop Bet

Boston won't have it easy against Domique Malonga, however, the Storm do allow the second most points to opposing center this season!

As we've seen previously, Mystics' center Shakira Austin is coming off a career-high 30-point performance against the Fever. Just a few games prior, Chicago Sky duo Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso combined for 29 points!

While Boston's scoring production has decreased ever so slightly, she's shooting 54.1 percent from the field in August, which is up from 47.4 percent in July.

Recording six straight games in double-figures, we've seen Boston soar over this player prop line in three of them, averaging 15.3 points per game over that span.

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Aliyah Boston OVER 14.5 Points (-115 DraftKings)

Not to mention, Boston's cleared this line in both games against the Storm. Even with Malonga in the linup, Boston scored 16 and season-high 31 points against Seattle. In both games, she's averaged 23.5 points and 14 FGA per game. In those matchups, she's shooting 69 percent from the field, with 4.5 FTA per game.

• I'm taking Aliyah Boston to record over 14.5 points today. I do believe Skylar Diggins and Brittney Sykes will provide perimeter defense. With that said, the Storm allow the second most paint points per game (37 .7). 

Player Prop Bet #3: Azurà Stevens

Azurà Stevens 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 35 | PPG: 14.1 | FG: 50.3 % | FT: 78.2 % | 3PT: 40.9 % | REB: 7.9 | AST: 2.0 | STL: 1.2 | BLK: 1.2

• OVER 6.5 Rebounds (-154 DraftKings)

My third best bet for today, I placed one unit on Las Angeles Sparks forward Azurà Stevens to record over 6.5 rebounds against the Phoenix Mercury.

A strong candidate for the WNBA's Most Improved Player award, Stevens is quietly having a career-year in her third season with the Sparks. Averaging a career-best 14.1 points per game, she's been lights out from beyond the arc (40.9 %).

At 6 foot 6, Stevens has been monstrous on the boards for the Sparks, alongside Dearica Hamby. Now Cameron Brink has entered the conversation since returning from injury. Even so, she remains on a minutes restriction.

Although slightly juiced, I loved the rebound prop line here. Averaging 7.9 boards per game on the season, Stevens is coming off eight alone against the Dallas Wings.

Both team's haven't faced each other in quite some time, although Stevens recorded seven and 17 rebounds in two matchups against the Mercury. Depending how much Stevens is on Sabally, she may be pulled out of the paint more. On offense, Stevens for sure stretches the floor quite a bit.

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Azurà Stevens OVER 6.5 Rebounds (-154 DraftKings)

Overall, the Mercury allow the sixth-most rebounds to forwards, and Stevens is averaging 12.0 rebounds in two matchups against Phoenix this season.

While most of those have come from the defensive end, the Mercury also have Natasha Mack back in the lineup.

• I'm taking Azurà Stevens to record over 6.5 rebounds today. Avearging 7.9 RPG at home, A'ja Wilson (13), and Naz Hilmon (13) soared over this line recently against the Mercury. Plus, there will be several opportunities on the boards given the Sparks and Mercury rank second and third in pace.
