Three games for Wednesday's WNBA card, including a pair of matinee games taking place on Kids Day in Chicago and Minneapolis, with the Seattle Storm visiting the Chicago Sky at Noon Eastern and the Los Angeles Sparks stopping in to see the Minnesota Lynx at 1 p.m. Both games are available on League Pass.
It's the nightcap in Indianapolis for me, as the Golden State Valkyries visit the Indiana Fever for an 8 p.m. ET tip on USA Network. The Valkyries arrive to face surging Indiana on a seven-game win streak and sitting in third place in the standings. They have an identical 17-7 mark as the defending champion Las Vegas Aces, but sit in third due to the tiebreaker. A road win tonight would give them a half-game edge.

The Fever aren't far off the pace, sitting 3.5 games back of the first-place Lynx, and return home after a successful road trip that included a pair of wins in Las Vegas. If we're seeing a change in the guard this season, from the traditional powers of the past several years, to the young newcomers, we could very well have a WNBA Finals preview on our hands.
Let's take a look at my best player prop bets for Wednesday's slate.

It's time. Caitlin Clark hasn't gone off since June 16, when she turned in a double-double against the Toronto Tempo, with 21 points and 14 assists. Tonight, yes, against the most stringent defense in the league, I think Clark is going to return home and have one of her best games of the season against what might be a travel-weary Valks team playing its fifth and final road game of this junket. The 6-foot guard is averaging 20.1 points and 7.8 assists, which brings us to nearly 28 toward what we're playing here.
I get that the Valkyries are the only team that is allowing less than 80 points (76.2) and a league-low 18.4 assists. But the last time the Valks came to Indianapolis, on May 28, the All-Star starter scored 22 points and served nine assists. Her averages against Golden State after two home games since the 2025 expansion team arrived is 16 ppg and 7.5 assists — a total of 23.5. That would take us over tonight, too. And, finally, in five home games that Caitlin Clark has played off a road game/trip, she's averaging 25.2 points and 10.2 rebounds. In three of those five games, she's registered a double-double.
Janelle Salaün has come off the bench all season for the Valkyries, and is still the team's second-leading scorer. And since their leading scorer, Gabby Williams, is questionable with a back injury, I think the Paris-native could turn in another big night during this road trip. Salaün has scored in double digits in three of the Valkyries' first four road games on this tour, during which she has averaged 3.7 3-pointers per game.
Salaün has scored three or more from beyond the arc in half (12 of 24) of the games she's played. And of those 12 games, seven of them were on the road. The 6-foot-2 forward is averaging 3.1 from long range. Among those players who have played in at least 11 road games this season, she ranks 12th with her .427 shooting percentage from behind the line. Finally, Salaün has faced the Fever twice in her career and is averaging 4.5 3-pointers per game against them.
The job for Kiah Stokes for much of her career has come down to two things: defense and rebounds. The 6-foot-3 veteran is tied with Kayla Thornton for the team lead in rebounds per game (5.0) and is catching a value number after grabbing just seven over the team's last two games. But, she also played just 14 minutes in Toronto and 20 in Connecticut. Against the higher-level competition that started this trip, she grabbed seven rebounds in 22 minutes at Atlanta and nine boards in 27 minutes in Washington D.C.
When you consider the tempo the Fever play at, you'd have to believe Stokes will have her dura-strength Windex with her tonight. Indiana ranks sixth in the league with 68.9 field-goal attempts this season; during July, it ranks fourth with 71.3. She's averaging 5.5 rebounds per game with Indiana this season, and in 31 career meetings against the Fever, she is averaging 6.3 rebounds per game, tied for second most against any opponent. And that's with only 13 starts against them. Stokes has started every game for the Valkyries this season.
