Here are the 6 WNBA player props our model likes most for August 22, 2026 — every one is our own number against the bookmaker's price, with the reasoning in plain English.

Courtney Vandersloot — over 4.5 assists at $1.93

Courtney Vandersloot — over 4.5 assists at $1.93

Our confidence: HIGH. On our numbers this lands more often than the price implies.

Allisha Gray — over 19.5 points + assists at $1.42

Our confidence: HIGH. The bookmaker's price pays more than our numbers say it should — that gap is the whole reason it makes this list.

In the upcoming clash between the Toronto Tempo and the Portland Fire, Carla Leite's scoring prowess faces a significant hurdle. Though she's a talented scorer, our analysis suggests she'll find it tough to reach 17.5 points in this matchup. The Tempo's offensive strategy has shifted, emphasizing ball movement and a more balanced scoring approach. With multiple players stepping up, Leite's volume could take a hit, especially against the Fire's tenacious defense, which excels at limiting perimeter shots. Moreover, historical trends show that when facing teams with a strong defensive rating, Leite's scoring averages dip noticeably. Given the projected pace of play, it seems more plausible that she'll hover around the 12-point mark rather than eclipse that 17.5 threshold. For savvy bettors, this presents a compelling opportunity to capitalize on Leite's likely underwhelming performance amidst a shifting team dynamic.

Olivia Miles — over 5.5 assists at $1.65

Our confidence: HIGH. On our numbers this lands more often than the price implies.

Allisha Gray — over 16.5 points at $1.44

Our confidence: HIGH. The bookmaker's price pays more than our numbers say it should — that gap is the whole reason it makes this list.
