Here are the 6 WNBA player props our model likes most for October 17, 2026 — every one is our own number against the bookmaker's price, with the reasoning in plain English.
Allisha Gray has been struggling with her rebounds and assists lately. She's only pulling down about two rebounds and making just over six assists in recent games, which is below her usual numbers. The
Golden State Valkyries have shown they can be tough on defense, making it harder for her to get those stats up. Considering how close her recent performances are to the target, betting on her to go under 5.5 rebounds and assists feels like a smart move. The most concrete risk is that she could have a surprising breakout game, but our numbers suggest she might not reach that mark today.
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.
DeWanna Bonner needs to score more than 6.5 points for this bet to win tonight. She has been scoring well recently, making about 1.8 three-pointers and attempting more shots than usual. Bonner is also getting to the free-throw line more, which helps her score. The game is at home for the Golden State Valkyries, giving her a slight boost. The biggest risk is that the Atlanta Dream could put up tough defense, but everything points to Bonner being able to reach that scoring mark tonight. For
Tiffany Hayes to hit under 2.5 assists tonight, she needs to have a quieter game in that area. Recently, she's been averaging around 2 assists, which is below the usual number expected from her. She's also making fewer free throws and has been turning the ball over less, which means she might not be setting up her teammates as much as usual. The matchup against the Golden State Valkyries adds to this. They have been strong on defense, and with the pressure they put on players, there's a chance she could struggle to find open teammates. The risk is that the game could be close, and if it heats up, she might play more minutes and have more opportunities. But overall, it feels like she'll stay under that assist mark tonight.
Naz Hillmon needs to get at least two assists for this bet to win tonight. The Golden State Valkyries have been playing well, winning eight of their last ten games, while the Atlanta Dream are on a hot streak, winning nine of their last ten. This matchup should be exciting, with both teams scoring a lot lately, making it likely for Hillmon to find teammates for easy baskets. The most concrete risk is how close this matchup is, as both teams are in great form. Plus, Hillmon's assist numbers have been lower than usual recently. Still, if she can connect with her teammates, there's a good chance she'll hit that over.
