WNBA Player Props For Friday, May 30

Player Prop Bet #1: Kelsey Mitchell

Kelsey Mitchell 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 4 | PPG: 13.0 | FG: 34 % | FT: 77.8 % | 3PT : 33.3 % | REB: 4.5 | AST: 6.3 | STL: 1.8 |  BLK: 0.5

• Over 19.5 Points (-125 FanDuel)

My first bets bet for today, I placed one unit on Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell to record over 19.5 points vs the Connecticut Sun.

The Fever will continue to be without Caitlin Clark, who's suffered a quad strain. With that said, Mitchell is expected to step up in Clark's place. That plan went sour in the 83-77 loss against the Mystics last outing, where Mitchelle shot just 4-16 from the field, and 2-7 from beyond the arc. In the disastrous outing, Mitchell finished with 14 points in 32 minutes.

Veteran guard Syd Colson received the starting nod in place of Clark, and it's evident the Fever have lost their star player and facilitator. There's no doubt Mitchell plays more efficient off ball, so tonight will bring an interesting task.

There's optimism on the rise in regards to this player prop. I truly don't believe Mitchell will have a repeat shooting performance of 4-16. Plus, even shooting 25 percent from the field, Mitchell managed to record 14 points. Now with the line set at 19.5 points, she has an opportunity to cook up against the Connecticut Sun.

Kelsey Mitchell Is Due For A Bounce Back Game Without Caitlin Clark

We know the Sun remain winless after a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  Not to mention, Connecticut is operating under new head coach Rachid Meziane and have a -46 point differential over their last two losses.

Although the season just started, the Sun rank No. 12 in defensive rating (110.8), and allow the third most points in the WNBA with 88.2 PPG. With that, backcourt defense hasn't been their strong suit.

• Bettors recently saw Dallas put up 109 points, in which rookie Paige Bueckers exploded for a career high 21 points. In addition, guards Arike Ogunbowale and DiJonai Carrington erupted for a combined 35 points.

Against Atlanta, Allisha Gray took off for 18 points, and shot 6-11 from the field. Hosting the Aces at home just a few weeks ago, guards Chelsea Gray, Jewell Loyd, and Jackie Young combined for 48 points!

There's no doubt, Mitchell has struggled shooting the rock this year, 41 percent from the field. and 33.3 percent from 3-point land. Not to mention she's eclipsed 20+ points just once in five games. However, without Clark, Mitchell needs to step up. Sure, DeWanna Bonner finally marked herself on the map with 21 points last game, and the Fever have a ton of depth. It's evident the Fever need Mitchell to get things going offensively in the backcourt.

Coming off back-to-back 32+ minute games, Mitchell is the second highest scorer on the Fever for a reason (17 PPG).

• With that, she's edged out Caitlin Clark with the most field goal attempts on the roster (15.6)—and ranks second on the team in 3-point attempts per game (5.4).

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Kelsey Mitchell OVER 19.5 Points (-125 FanDuel)

In Indiana's first game without Clark, Mitchell by far led the Fever with 16 field goal and 7.0 3-point attempts. Over the last two games, she has 14 deep ball shots, and 32 shot attempts! Needless to say, the minutes and shot volume are there!

One of the fastest to reach 4,000 career points—the Fever offense becomes stagnant when Mitchell is unable to score. Known for her 3-point prowess, Mitchell is one of the fastest, most crafty guards in the WNBA.

• I'm taking Kelsey Mitchell to record 19.5 points tonight. There's no better place than to bounce back against a young and inexperienced Sun team (Who struggles on the defensive end). 

Player Prop Bet #2: Courtney Williams

Courtney Williams 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 5 | PPG: 14.8 | FG: 39.5 % | FT: 100 % | 3PT : 35 % | REB: 4.8 | AST: 6.6 | STL: 1.2|  BLK: 0.2

• Over 18.5 Points + Assists (-128 FanDuel)

My second best bet for today, I placed one unit Minnesota Lynx guard Courtney Williams to record over 18.5 points and assists vs the Phoenix Mercury.

• I think this player prop line is a tad disrespectful, given William's points and assists season average is higher.

With Lynx star Napheesa Collier questionable to lace up tonight with a knee injury, that may hurt this prop tonight. Especially since the two have a strong two-player game.

Averaging 14.8 points per game, there's no question Williams is averaging a career-low from the field (39.5 %). Shooting far efficient from the 3-point line (35 %), we can't discredit how influential she is to this Lynx team.

• Although a combo guard, Williams is the primary facilitator for the Lynx, and of course, is known for her automatic mid-range jumpers.

Why Courtney Williams Can Soar Over This Player Prop Today

Tonight won't be an easy task, considering the Phoenix Mercury rank No. 1 in defensive rating (92.6), and allow a league low 75.6 points per game. However, we've seen signs of life from Williams, who's coming off a 23-point, 4.0-assists night against the Seattle Storm.

The third leading scorer on the Lynx with 14.8 points per game, Williams leads the squad with 6.6 APG. With that, she ranks second on the team with 15.2 field goal attempts per game. However, that may change with the return of Kayla McBride, or if Collier is ruled out today.

Tonight, Williams and company will face a revamped Mercury team that features Alyssa Thomas and Satou Sabally.

• However, this is a Mercury team that's embraced "positionless" basketball under head coach Nate Tibbetts. Most recently, Sky guards Kia Nurse and Ariel Atkins combined for 35 points and 4.0 assists against the Mercury.

Just a few matchups ago, bettors witnessed Storm guard Skylar Diggins erupt for 24 points and 14 assists!

• I love this value from a points value alone, especially since we've seen guards such as Kelsey Plum explode for 25 points. Even in a 81-59 season opener blow out victory over the Storm—Diggins recorded 25 points and assists.

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Courtney Williams OVER 18.5 Points + Assists  (-128 FanDuel)

The Lynx have a ton of depth—which is something that makes them more dangerous. With that, Williams has 14 assists in the last three games, and is coming off 18 shot attempts against Seattle. I'm expecting a close game against the Mercury, and greatly encouraged Williams had a decent shooting performance last game (10-18).

I know Williams has had some rough games to start the season, one in which she finished 0-11 from the field against Connecticut. However, she has recorded 20+ point games twice, and 13+ points alone in four of five games this season. Averaging 6.6 dimes on the year, this is a no brainer.

• I'm taking Courtney Williams to record over 18.5 points and assists today. She's soared over this player prop line in four of game matchups thus far, averaging 20.8 points and assists on the season.

Player Prop Bet #3: Dearica Hamby

Dearica Hamby 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 6 | PPG: 18.7| FG: 51.3 % | FT: 67.5 % | 3PT : 41.7 % | REB: 7.5 | AST: 3.8  | STL: 2.3 |  BLK: 0.7

• Over 24.5 Points + Rebounds (-128 FanDuel)

My third best bet for today, I placed one unit on Sparks forward Dearica Hamby to record over 24.5 points and rebounds vs the Las Vegas Aces.

The second leading scorer on the Sparks behind Kelsey Plum, Hamby is having a career year in several categories. Averaging career-highs in points per game (18.7) and minutes (34.8), Hamby is crucial to this Sparks team.

• Not to mention, she's shooting the most efficient in years—41.7 percent from beyond the arc, and 51.3 percent from the floor.

Tonight, both Hamby and Plum will face their former team, the Aces. While injuries have hindered frontcourt depth, defense has been a weakness for Vegas this season. In fact, they rank No. 9 in defensive rating (101.9), allowing 82 points per game.

• Coming off a brutal 102-82 loss against the Seattle Storm —frontcourt duo Nneka Ogwumike and Ezi Magbegor combined for 35 points and 15 rebounds.

There's no doubt the Sparks continue to be thin in the frontcourt with both Cameron Brink and Rae Burrell out with injuries. Now, Rickea Jackson has been ruled out tonight with a personal issue.

Dearica Hamby Has An Excellent Matchup Against The Las Vegas Aces

Luckily, the Sparks have Mercedes Russell and Azura Stevens—both whom of which are 6-foot-6. However, Hamby should get a bulk of the work down low against A'ja Wilson. With rookie Sarah Ashlee Barker expected to get the starting nod in place of Jackson, she struggled greatly last game against Atlanta (2 points).

It's no secret A'ja Wilson remains the best basketball player in the world, yet needs help. Given the Aces are extremely guard heavy + injuries, they rank dead last in opponent paint points per game (41.5). Although Hamby has a outside shot, she may thrive inside tonight, considering the Sparks are averaging more than 33 paint points.

From a points perspective—Hamby has recorded points in double figures in all six games, and has scored 15+ in four of them.

• Coming off a 28-point, 6.0-rebound performance against Atlanta, Hamby destroyed Atlanta inside without Brittney Griner.

Logging 33+ minutes in all games this season, Hamby has 15+ field goal attempts in two of the last three matchups. Plus, she's a a master at attacking inside and getting trips to the charity stripe. With 16 free-throw attempts over the last two games, she faces a stingy Vegas team. Allowing the second fewest trips to the charity stripe, Hamby will have to work for it.

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Dearica Hamby OVER 24.5 Points + Rebounds (-128 FanDuel)

Don't forget, this is an Aces team that allowed Liberty duo Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones to erupt for a combined 42 points and 18 rebounds. Not to mention, Sun center Tina Charles recorded 25 points and rebounds.

Overall, Hamby has soared over this prop line in three of the last four outings against the Aces—averaging 33 points and rebounds. Over the last three games, she's averaged 27 points and rebounds against the Valkyries, Sky, and Dream. With a high 23.3 percent usage rate from Lynne Roberts, I don't expect Hamby to come off the court much tonight.

• I'm taking Dearica Hamby to record over 24.5 points and rebounds tonight. The Aces are middle of the pack in rebounding, and this is a prime matchup for Hamby.
