Here are the 6 WNBA player props our model likes most for September 17, 2026 — every one is our own number against the bookmaker's price, with the reasoning in plain English.
Angel Reese has been really impressive lately, especially in her scoring and playmaking. She's been averaging nearly 20 points and has been getting over 12 rebounds and assists combined in recent games, which is strong. Plus, she's been getting a lot of steals and hitting more three-pointers than usual, showing she's very active on the court. The biggest risk here is that
Atlanta Dream and
Connecticut Sun can be pretty close in their matchups, which might affect how much she can contribute. Still, betting on her to get over 13.5 rebounds and assists looks like a solid choice.
Kayla McBride has been on a roll lately, playing at home in Target Center against the
New York Liberty. In her last five games, she's been averaging over two assists, which is quite a bit more than her usual. The Lynx are also getting to the free-throw line more often, which can lead to extra scoring chances and assists. This all adds up to a good chance for McBride to dish out more than 1.5 assists. Of course, the Liberty are a solid team and could make it tough for her. If they tighten up their defense, it might be a closer call than expected. Still, considering how McBride has been playing, it feels like a smart bet to take the over on her assists. Tonight,
Aliyah Boston needs to record fewer than 4 assists for this bet to hit. The numbers show she's been averaging quite low in this area recently, with only about 2 assists in recent games. Plus, she's been making fewer three-point shots and getting fewer offensive rebounds, which usually means fewer chances to set up her teammates. The biggest risk here is that Boston might have a surprising game or get more playtime than expected. Still, given her recent trend of only about half a steal per game and the way Toronto has been playing defense, it seems likely she will stay under that 3.5 assists mark. Let's see if she can keep it going!
Kelsey Mitchell needs to make fewer than four three-pointers tonight for this bet to win. She has been a bit off lately, with her recent games showing a drop in scoring, and the numbers suggest she's not hitting her usual mark. The
Toronto Tempo have been tough on defense, making it hard for opponents to get open shots. With Mitchell's recent struggle to find her rhythm and the Tempo's solid defensive play, there's a good chance she falls short. The biggest risk is how close her scoring can be, especially if she finds a moment of hot shooting.
Rhyne Howard has been struggling a bit with her three-point shooting lately. Over her last five games, she has been making fewer three-pointers than usual, averaging just a little over three. The Atlanta Dream will face the Connecticut Sun, who are known for their strong defense, making it even tougher for Howard to find open shots. Additionally, Howard has been turning the ball over more than normal, which could limit her chances to score. With the Sun's defense putting pressure on her and the low average of three-pointers made, betting on her to make under 3.5 three-pointers seems like a solid choice. Just remember, there's always a chance things might not go as planned.
Dominique Malonga has been getting into a nice rhythm lately, and she's shown some solid scoring form. In her recent games, she's been making more free throws than usual and grabbing a good number of steals and blocks, which shows her all-around effort. Plus, she's playing at home in Climate Pledge Arena, where the fans can really lift the team's spirit. For this matchup against the
Las Vegas Aces, I think Malonga has a good chance to make at least one three-pointer. The Aces are a strong team, but that means they could be focused on other players, giving Malonga an opening. The biggest risk here is that both teams are pretty close in talent, so it could go either way. But overall, I like the bet on her making over 0.5 three-pointers.
