First up, Paige Bueckers will return to Connecticut, this time as a member of the Dallas Wings. Both teams searching for their first victory, the Connecticut Sun (0-4) will host the Wings (0-4) at Mohegan Sun arena. A national champion with the UConn Huskies, Bueckers and company have lost four straight to the Minnesota Lynx (twice), Seattle Storm, and Atlanta Dream. Having a tough opponent schedule to start the season, Dallas finds themselves as 4.5 point spread favorites on the road.

It's no secret the Sun are rebuilding. Having lost their starting five and most of the roster in the offseason, Connecticut enters a new era with rookies Saniya Rivers and Aneesah Morrow. Led by UConn legend Tina Charles, the Sun are underdogs at home.

Next up, the reigning champion New York Liberty (3-0) will host the Golden State Valkyries (2-1) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The favorites to win the 2025 WNBA championship, New York is coming off gritty 90-88 victory over the Indiana Fever. Now they are heavy 17.5 point spread favorites at home. The newest expansion franchise to join the WNBA, the Valkyries are fresh off back-to-back victories over the Sparks and Mystics.

There Are Five Games On The WNBA Slate Today

Tonight, the Minnesota Lynx (4-0) will host the Seattle Storm (3-1) at home. With Kayla McBride expected to return for Minnesota, the Lynx find themselves as large 6.5 point spread favorites at home. Fresh off a three game win streak against the Aces, Mercury, and Wings, are the books sleeping on the Storm? This should be an entertaining matchup featuring several high profiled players.

For the late night matchups, the Los Angeles Sparks (2-3) will host the Atlanta Dream (3-2). 2.5 point spread favorites at home, the Sparks will face a gritty Dream team that will be without Britney Griner and Jordin Canada.

Last, the Phoenix Mercury (3-1) will matchup against the Chicago Sky (0-3 in the Valley. Under head coach Todd Marsh, the Sky holds a league worst -24.3 point differential. Today, Phoenix are tabbed as 6.5 point spread favorites at home.

WNBA Player Props For Tuesday, May 27

Player Prop Bet #1: Paige Bueckers

Paige Bueckers 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 14.5 Points (-104 FanDuel)

My first best bet for today, I placed one unit on Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers to record over 14.5 points against the Connecticut Sun.

• Bueckers makes the trip back to Connecticut, where she spent her entire collegiate career. with that, Bueckers stated several former teammates are expected in attendance. While that's not the only reason I'm hot on this prop—there are several others.

It's been a tough transition for the Wings, who selected Bueckers No.1 overall in the 2025 WNBA Draft. With new faces and a head coach in Chris Konclanes, the Wings offense is a bit disheveled at times, to put it respectfully. While it takes time for a new team to gel, it's unclear who is leading the offense at times.

With Arike Ogunbowale, Bueckers, and DiJonai Carrington in the backcourt, this team is simply too talented to have a 0-4 record. Nevertheless, Bueckers thrives off the ball, and been tasked with more on-ball duties. On ball, Bueckers thrives in the mid-range off screens. A well renowned shot creator, it's impossible to keep Bueckers completely off ball. The Wings currently rank No. 10 in offensive rating (96).

Paige Bueckers Is Due For A Breakout Game

Amongst the talent, Bueckers leads the Wings with 13 points per game. Given Arike Ogunbowale has struggled thus far, Bueckers is averaging 12.5 field goal attempts, and 3.0 3-point attempts per game. With time, the Wings will learn how to create offense in the backcourt. Ogunbowale is known as a high volume shooter, while Bueckers has proven to thrive off-ball at times.

Either way, Bueckers is not shooting nearly as efficient at UConn, but she's doing her best to make it work. Eclipsing the 15 point mark in just one of four games, Bueckers is shooting a dreadful 7-26 (27 %) over the last two games. If Dallas can figure out how to effectively execute actions, I'm not afraid to bet Bueckers for nearly plus money here.

• With 11 and 15 field goal attempts over the last two matchups, I'm not worried about shot volume. Unless it's a blow out, we've seen Paige record back-to-back 37 minutes against the Lynx and Storm.

Paige Bueckers Makes Her Return To Connecticut

Overall, if Bueckers can record 11 and 12 points against the Dream and Lynx shooting a combined 27 percent, the books are sleeping on this player prop tonight. Sure, Jacy Sheldon is a two-way threat, and we are seeing this defensive emergence of rookie Saniya Rivers for the Sun.

• However, this is an newly constructed Sun team that ranks No. 11 in defensive rating (105.4).

Not only has Connecticut blown multiple leads against Washington and Minnesota, they allow the third most opponent points per game in the WNBA with 83. Contrary to years past, the Sun have lost their defensive touch along with their entire 2024 roster.

If the Wings can get into an offensive flow of things, this is a Sun team that gave up 18 points to Dream guard Allisha Gray. Not to mention, Aces guards Jackie Young, Jewell Loyd, and Chelsea Gray combined for 48 points last week.

I'm expecting 4-5 points to come from the free-throw line alone, as Bueckers hasn't shied away from attacking downhill and drawing tough calls.

• That's great news for Paige Bueckers, given the Sun allow the second most free-throw attempts in the WNBA with 24.8 per game. With the Wing's offense stagnant at times, Bueckers has done an efficient job at creating opportunities for herself.

The Wings get a break after a brutal four game stretch against top teams. These are two teams that have reconstructed and rebuilt their rosters. With two brand new coaches in Rachid Meziane and Koclanes, I would hope this is a better matchup for Bueckers. Afterall, this may be more of a home game tonight than Dallas.

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Paige Bueckers OVER 14.5 Points (-104 FanDuel)

While the efficiency hasn't been there, Bueckers is shooting just 34 percent from the field, and 33.3 percent from beyond the arc. No 4. among rookies in points per game, the cold steak has to stop at some point.

• The Wings are coming off two-days rest, where the Hopkins, Minnesota native is averaging 15 points per game.

Let's not forget Bueckers recorded 11 points in just 28 minutes against Atlanta. While both the Wings and Sun rank towards the bottom of the league in several statistical categories, Connecticut allows the eighth highest field goal percentage in the WNBA.

With Myisha Hines-Allen questionable for tonight, I'm expected a breakout game for Bueckers. After all, she went an undefeated 15-0 at Mohegan Sun in her collegiate career. If Maddy Siegrist enters the starting lineup, perhaps some change may Dallas some good.

• I'm going with Paige Bueckers to record over 14.5 points today. We saw her explode against a Veteran Seattle Storm team for 19 points. In that game, she shot an equal 50 percent from the field and the 3-point line. 

Player Prop Bet #2: Tina Charles

Tina Charles 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 4 | PPG: 14.5 | FG: 39.3 % | FT: 77.8 % | 3PT : 0 % | REB: 6.8 | AST: 1.5 | STL: 1.0 |  BLK: 0.5

• Over 7.5 Rebounds (-130 FanDuel)
• Over 14.5 Points (-174 FanDuel)

My second best bet for today, I placed one unit on Connecticut Sun center Tina Charles to record over 7.5 rebounds and 14.5 points against the Dallas Wings.

• Charles returns to Connecticut, where she spent the first four years of her career. A veteran on a young, and inexperienced team—has a great matchup with Dallas tonight.

Defensively, the Wings have shown glimpses of what they could be, however, they rank No. 12 in defensive rating (105,5). Allowing the second most points in the WNBA with 86.9, the frontcourt remains a disaster for Dallas. With Teaira McCowan coming off the bench, it's been NaLyssa Smith and Myisha Hines-Allen who have been awarded the starting nod.

Now Hines-Allen is questionable with a ankle injury, and this is a Dallas team allows 33.5 paint points per game. Not to mention, Dream bigs Brionna Jones and Brittney Griner combined for 26 points last matchup.

• Plus, Lynx star Napheesa Collier erupted for 28 and 34 points against the Wings this season.

I haven't seen a single game where Dallas has been able to contain frontcourt stars. We especially saw this against Seattle, where Nneka Ogwumike exploded for 23 points.

Tina Charles Has A Prime Matchup Against The Dallas Wings

Now, I'm not saying Charles is having the most efficient season. She's scored a combined 15 points against the Dream and Lynx after starting off the season blazing with back-to-back 20+ point games. We saw her put up 20 and 23 points against the Aces and Mystics. Then, Charles scored just four points against the Lynx, and 11 against Atlanta.

Bottom line, the Wings don't possess a scary frontcourt like the Lynx and Dream do. This is where I believe Charles can thrive, alongside Olivia Nelson-Ododa in the frontcourt.

• The Sun's leading scorer with 14.5 points per game, she's also the team's leading rebounder with 6.5 rebounds per game. With 14 field goal attempts, Charles has certainly struggled with a 39.1 field goal percentage.

Overall, the Wings allow the third most rebounds to opponents with 38.3 per game, and we've seen players such Napheesa Collier walk right into the paint at times. This is a smaller wings team, aside fom McCowan, NaLyssa Smith, and Luisa Geiselsode whom are the only players 6 foot 4 and above.

• Having eclipsed the 7+ rebounding mark in two of four games, I'm confident in the rebounding area. Both teams allow 38+ opponent boards per game, and Charles has been mainly an inside big this season.

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Tina Charles OVER 14.5 Points (-174 FanDuel) & OVER 7.5 Rebounds (-130 FanDuel)

Coming off 20 field goal attempts, the Sun's frontcourt depth strongly falls off beyond Charles and Nelson-Ododa. While Hailey Peters and Kariata Diaby have made strides off the bench, both are averaging 4.8 and 3.3 points per game. That's where Aneesah Morrow fits in perfectly.

I strongly believe Charles rebound stats are off given she's had some tough matchups with Napheesa Collier and A'ja Wilson. She grabbed 10 boards against the Mystics in the season opener.  It will be interesting to see the addition of Aneesah Morrow for the Sun, who grabbed 7 rebounds in 11 minutes against Atlanta. With that, I'm still expecting Morrow to see limited minutes.

• I'm going with Tina Charles to record over 14.5 points and 7.5 rebounds today. 

Player Prop Bet #3: Alyssa Thomas

Alyssa Thomas 2025 WNBA Stats

GP: 4 | PPG: 16.5 | FG: 50 % | FT: 66.7 % | 3PT : 0 % | REB: 7.8| AST: 6.3 | STL: 1.5 |  BLK: 0.5

• Over 6.5 Assists (-145 DraftKings)

My third best for today, I placed one unit on Mercury star Alyssa Thomas to record over 6.5 assists against the Chicago Sky.

Known as the "Engine" Alyssa Thomas was known as a double-double and triple-double machine during her time with Connecticut.

• Now she's thriving in her first season with the Mercury, averaging career-highs in points per game (16.5).

With Kahleah Copper out of the lineup, the Mercury have shocked bettors with a 3-1 start. With Thomas, she's always going to score, and remains one of the best facilitators in the WNBA. Even with Nate Tibbets positionless basketball scheme, Thomas is all over the court.

• Recording 7+ assist in two of the four games this season, she faces a Sky team that's allowing the third most assists per game with 22.7.

Although recording just five assists against the Mystics, Thomas had a 20 potential assist stat line. Now, the Mercury have known to miss layups here and there—however, we have to look deeper into the stats.

Yet to mark themselves in the win column, the Sky rank dead last in defensive rating (114.1). Blown out in nearly every single game, we've seen some strong betting trends from opposing ball handlers. The Sky have allowed the last four point guards to tally an insane amount of assists to the following:

• Kelsey Plum- Los Angeles Sparks (8 Assists)
• Natasha Cloud-New York Liberty (8 Assists)
• Caitlin Clark- Indiana Fever (10 Assists)
• Courtney Williams-Minnesota Lynx (7 Assists)

Final WNBA Player Prop Betting Prediction: Alyssa Thomas OVER 6.5 Assists (-145 FanDuel)

It's clear Chicago has a difficult time shutting down passing lanes, although they do like to push the pace. As long as Thomas and Satou Sabally continue their connection, I love this prop. In her first season with Phoenix, Sabally is averaging career-highs in points (19.8 PPG).

Although the Mercury are down a few players, they have a heavy hitters with Sabally, Monique Akoa Makani, yet have production far into the bench. With five players averaging 5+ points per game, Thomas will continue to pass the rock.

• I'm rolling with Alyssa Thomas to record over 6.5 assists tonight.
