How to Bet on WNBA Player Props

The WNBA is growing in popularity. With more basketball fans watching the WNBA, there are increased betting opportunities. In this guide, we’re going to explain how to bet on WNBA player props.

Bettors can wager on several different types of WNBA player props. These bets are single-game wagers. Some sportsbooks offer a better selection of player props, so you’ll need to shop around.

We’re now going to explain how to bet on WNBA player props:

WNBA Scoring Props

Example: Jewell Loyd Over 22.5 Points (-115) vs. Under 22.5 Points (-115)

WNBA scoring props require bettors to predict whether a player will score over or under the point total in a game. If Loyd scores 23 or more points, the over will win. If Loyd scores 22 or fewer points, the under will win. Betting on point totals is the most common WNBA player prop and available at most bookies.

The highest scorers in the WNBA average over 20.0 PPG.

WNBA Three-Pointer Props

Example: Kayla McBride Over 1.5 3-Pointers (+100) vs. Under 1.5 3-Pointers (-130)

You can also bet on how many three-pointers a player will score in a game. In our example, McBride will need to score two or more three-pointers to hit the over. If she scores zero or one three-pointer, the under will cash. The best shooters in the WNBA average around three three-pointers made per game.

WNBA Assists Props

Example: Alyssa Thomas Over 7.5 Assists (-115) vs. Under 7.5 Assists (-115)

There are also WNBA player props available for assists. Your goal is to predict whether a player will have over or under the number assists listed. If Thomas has eight or more assists, a bet on the over will win, but if Thomas has seven assists or fewer, a bet on the under will win.

It’s not rare for the top playmakers in the WNBA to put up 10+ assists per game.

WNBA Rebounds Props

Example: Breanna Stewart Over 8.5 Rebounds (-115) vs. Under 8.5 Rebounds (-115)

Like the rest of the WNBA player props, this is another over/under wager. Your goal is to predict whether a player will go over or under their posted rebounds total. In this example, Stewart needs nine or more rebounds for the over to win. If she has eight or fewer rebounds, under bets will win.

The top rebounders in the WNBA will average around 10.0 RPG.
