Here are the 6 WNBA player props our model likes most for September 22, 2026 — every one is our own number against the bookmaker's price, with the reasoning in plain English.
Jonquel Jones has been showing a bit of a dip in her play lately, especially when it comes to assists. The
New York Liberty have faced some tough opponents recently, and that might have affected her numbers. Plus, with both teams performing well, there's a chance this game could be more about scoring than passing. Even though Jones has had some good games, the chance of her getting more than 2.5 assists looks slim right now. With both teams playing solid defense, and considering how close their recent matchups have been, it's worth taking a shot on the under for her assists. Just keep in mind, she could surprise us, but the numbers suggest this is a strong pick.
Breanna Stewart needs to have fewer than 4 assists tonight for this bet to win. She has shown a bit of a drop in her passing during the day, averaging only 2.2 assists in those games. Plus, the New York Liberty are really good at scoring, which might mean fewer chances for her to set up teammates. Both teams have been strong lately, but the Liberty have faced tougher opponents overall. With Stewart's day game numbers and the flow of the game, it feels like a solid pick. Just keep in mind, the
Atlanta Dream are also on a roll, and they might keep it close, which could affect her passing opportunities.
Allisha Gray has been on fire lately, scoring an average of 19.4 points at night and racking up a solid 3.8 assists. With the New York Liberty winning 7 of their last 10 games and facing a tougher schedule than Atlanta Dream, this matchup looks promising for Gray. Betting on her to grab over 4.5 rebounds and assists seems smart, especially since she tends to shine during nighttime games. The risk is that the Dream are also in great form, having won 8 of their last 10.
Alyssa Thomas has been on fire lately, averaging over 22 points and assists combined in her last ten games. She also excels with around 8.7 assists each night, which shows she's a big playmaker for her team. The
Dallas Wings are scoring a ton right now, so there should be plenty of opportunities for her to grab rebounds and dish out assists. However, the
Phoenix Mercury have faced a tough schedule, which could make things tricky for Thomas. Still, I like this bet to go over 13.5 as she's been consistently strong.
Sabrina Ionescu has been in great form lately, especially on the road, where she's been averaging over 11 combined rebounds and assists. Playing at home, she still does well, with a solid average of 7.6 rebounds and assists. The New York Liberty have won 4 of their last 6 games, so they're looking strong. Ionescu is skilled at finding her teammates, and with the Liberty facing Atlanta Dream, who have also been winning, this should be an exciting matchup. The biggest risk here is that both teams are on a roll, so it could be a tight game. However, with her recent performance, betting on Ionescu to get over 4.5 assists seems like a smart choice. Breanna Stewart has been on fire lately, showing her skills both at home and on the road. She averages over 34 points, rebounds, and assists combined when playing away, and she's definitely capable of sinking at least one three-pointer against Atlanta. The Liberty have a strong scoring game, winning 7 of their last 10 matches, and Stewart is a big part of that success. While both teams are playing well, and Atlanta has also won 8 of their last 10, the risk is that Stewart might face tough defense from the Dream. Still, given her track record and the way she's been performing, betting on her to make at least one three-pointer looks promising.
