Here are the 6 WNBA player props our model likes most for August 25, 2026 — every one is our own number against the bookmaker's price, with the reasoning in plain English.

The bet on Jessica Shepard to score under 26.5 points and rebounds looks solid at these odds. Our numbers show she's been in a bit of a slump lately, averaging only about 20 points and rebounds combined over her last few games. She's also been struggling with assists, which could mean less scoring help from her teammates. Looking at the matchup against Portland Fire, they have been tough on defense, and Shepard hasn't been getting as many free throws or offensive rebounds lately. The biggest risk here is that she might surprise everyone and step up her game, but overall, this pick seems like a smart choice based on her current form. The odds are set at -106 for Jessica Shepard to score under 30.5 points, rebounds, and assists combined, and our numbers really like this pick. Recently, Shepard has been off her game, averaging fewer assists and offensive rebounds than usual, which makes hitting that high total tougher. Plus, the Dallas Wings just faced a solid defensive team, and Portland can be tricky on defense too. Shepard has also struggled with getting to the free-throw line, which could limit her scoring chances. With everything considered, this bet seems like a smart choice, but it's worth noting that the teams are closely matched, so there's always a chance it could go the other way.
