There are two on the WNBA betting slate beginning at 7 PM EST. In case you missed the last article, we covered the best straight bets, odds, stats, and predictions for today. Today, I will break down our best predictions and analysis for daily prop bets.  If you're interested in watching all games, the WNBA League Pass is available.  If you are looking for the best WNBA betting odds, stats and analysis, here is some information to know.

Breanna Stewart O 1.5 Made Threes (-142)

PPG: 22.6 | FG: 45.7% | 3 PT: 36.7% | FT: 85.4% % | REB: 9.2 |AST: 6 |STL: 3.7 | BLK: 1.6

Through the month of August, "Stewie" is playing around 36 minutes per game, and attempts nearly 18 field goals a game. Meanwhile, the 2018 WNBA MVP averages 9 three point pursuits this month, and 20 points a game.

In the Liberty's two matchups against Minnesota, Breanna Stewart is averaging 20 points a game, 36 minutes, and 20 field goal attempts. The Liberty star hit 3-9 threes in game one and has a combined 15 attempts from downtown in both games. This is a nice matchup against the Lynx, who allow opponents to shoot 34.6 percent from downtown. They also allow 25.6 threes attempted per game, which is the most of any team. Stewart ranks top ten in three point attempts this season (188) and is surrounded by playmakers in Vandersloot and Ionescu.

If you're betting on the WNBA, I like this prop due to Stewies volume in minutes played and field goal attempts. With Jonquel Jones dominating inside the paint, Steward has been able to stretch the floor, and ranks 10th in three pointers made this season (69). Overall, she's one of the most dominant players in the league, and the leader of this Liberty team.

Kelsey Plum O 2.5 Made Threes (-128)

PPG: 18.9 | FG: 48.2 % | 3 PT: 39.7 % | FT: 91.9 % | REB: 2.5 | AST: 4.4 |STL: 2 | BLK: 1

Las Vegas Aces guard, Kelsey Plum is coming off a 23-point performance, in which she shot 5-12 from downtown, against Chicago. Plum, 29, is a career 39.8 percent three-point shooter, and is averaging practically 40 percent from downtown this season. The Aces start hit this prop 50 percent of the season, and more specifically, three of the last games. In reality, Plum made 3-5 three-pointers against Washington, and hit this prop five times this month.

Over the month of August, Kelsey Plum is averaging 16.6 points per game, 33.4 minutes, and over 6 three-point attempts per game. Moreover, Plum averages close to 13 field goal attempts per game.

The forward will face an injury riddled team, who allows opponents to shoot 35.6 percent from downtown, and over 22 threes attempted per game. Plum ranks 6th in three point attempts this season (204), and will face the Mystics, who have one of the worst defensive ratings since the beginning of August.

A'ja Wilson O 20.5 Points (-115)

PPG: 22.1| FG: 54.3% | 3 PT: 24 % | FT: 81 % | REB: 9.5 |AST: 1.8 |STL: 1.4 | BLK: 2.1

Aces star A'ja Wilson has been nearly unstoppable, as she ranks second in the league in points this season (753). Through 34 games, the former MVP leads the WNBA in field goals made (273), and shows no signs of slowing down, despite the Aces 30-win season. Wilson, 27, recently tied the WNBA record with 53 points, and hit over 20.5 points 60 percent of the season. In fact, A'ja scored a career-high at the time 40 points in her only matchup against Washington, and hit this prop three of the last five games. In that matchup, Wilson attempted 25 field goals, and shot 68 percent from the field.

Overall, A'ja is having a career year in her sixth season with Las Vegas. In addition, the former MVP is averaging career highs in points, blocks, rebounds, and field goal percentage (54.3). For August, the forward is averaging 24 points, 36 minutes, and 22 field goal attempts per game. If you're betting on the WNBA, Wilson is shooting an incredible 54.3 percent from the field, and will face a Washington team who has been one of the worst defensive teams this month.
