Here are the 6 WNBA player props our model likes most for October 16, 2026 — every one is our own number against the bookmaker's price, with the reasoning in plain English.
Cecilia Zandalasini has been finding her rhythm lately, showing solid form with her shooting. For this game against the
Atlanta Dream, I think she'll make more than half a three-pointer, which is our bet. She's been attempting about three shots from beyond the arc in recent games, and given the way she's been playing, the chance of her hitting at least one is pretty good. The risk here is that both teams are closely matched, so it might come down to how well she can get open looks.
Naz Hillmon needs to make just one three-pointer tonight for this bet to cash in. She's been in great form, and the
Golden State Valkyries have been playing well lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games. The Atlanta Dream have also been strong, winning 9 of their last 10, but Hillmon's shooting can shine through in this matchup. The Valkyries have faced tough opponents, holding up well against them. With both teams scoring a lot lately, there's a good chance Hillmon will find the open look she needs. The biggest risk is that she might not get enough attempts, but with her recent form, I believe she can sink at least one.
Gabby Williams has been playing really well lately, helping her team score and create chances. In the last 20 games, the Atlanta Dream have shown they can put up a lot of points, and with their fast pace, Gabby should get plenty of opportunities to grab rebounds and dish out assists. The Golden State Valkyries have been tough but have faced strong teams, so the pressure will be on. Just keep an eye on how the teams match up, as both sides are in great form. Overall, betting on Gabby to get over 6.5 combined rebounds and assists looks promising.
Kiah Stokes has been playing really well lately, and in this matchup against the Atlanta Dream, she has a good chance to shine. Both teams are on a winning streak, but the Dream have been scoring a ton of points, averaging nearly 95 in their last 20 games. Stokes needs to contribute with both points and assists, which seems likely given how well the Valkyries have been doing. The biggest risk here is that the Dream's strong defense could limit her opportunities. Still, the odds are in favor of her hitting over 4.5.
Jordin Canada is facing a tough matchup against the Golden State Valkyries. The Valkyries have been on fire lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games and putting up strong defenses. They've played against some of the toughest teams in the league, which means they know how to handle skilled opponents. Canada may struggle to rack up assists since the Valkyries are good at limiting playmakers. Going under 7.5 assists for Canada seems like a smart bet. The Atlanta Dream have been winning a lot too, but the Valkyries' solid defense should make it challenging for her to find open teammates. The biggest risk here is that Canada has been in good form lately, so she might surprise us. Still, with the Valkyries' recent success, it's reasonable to think she could fall short. At the Chase Center, the Golden State Valkyries are facing off against the Atlanta Dream, both teams riding high on recent wins.
Veronica Burton has been a solid player, but the Dream have really been dominating lately, scoring a lot while also limiting their opponents' opportunities. With the Valkyries having faced tougher competition overall this season, they might struggle to keep pace in this matchup. Burton has been averaging lower than usual in rebounds and assists, which makes this bet on her going under 8.5 a good chance. The most concrete risk here is the close form of both teams, as they both are on winning streaks. Still, given the way the Dream have been playing, this could be a chance worth taking.
