We have two WNBA games on the slate today before the league goes on a month-long hiatus during the Olympic break. The Dream and Lynx occupy the early window at 1 p.m. ET before the surging Fever take on the Wings at 7:30 p.m.
Here are the best WNBA prop bets for today.

Allisha Gray: Under 15.5 Points (-130) @ Lynx
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
The Dream are in disarray. Atlanta has lost 10 of its last 11 is struggling mightily on offense, averaging just 72.5 points per game during the stretch. Allisha Gray has been a bright spot, but this is hardly a great spot for her to shine.
Minnesota comes into today’s contest with the league’s top-ranked defense, and that unit was on display in two previous meetings with the Dream. Gray, in particular, has had difficulty getting going against the Lynx this season, averaging 7.0 points per game on a combined 3-for-23 shooting.
Atlanta recently returned Aerial Powers and Rhyne Howard is off the injury report ahead of this afternoon’s tip-off, so on top of this being a bad matchup for Gray, the usage may not be there for her to have an efficient showing, either.
Considering her body of work against Minnesota this year, I’m inclined to take the Under at 15.5 points with my WNBA bet of the day.

Fever: Win by 6+ (+115) @ Wings
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
After starting the year at 3-10, the Fever have bounced back to win eight of their last 12, including impressive victories over the Liberty and Lynx. Caitlin Clark’s play has been noticeably better during the stretch, but it’s not just her — Aliyah Boston is playing like an All-Star again, too.
Boston’s improved play is a big reason why I’m sticking with Indiana as it heads to Dallas for a bout with Arike Ogunbowale and Co. The Wings rank dead-last in defensive rating and points per game, and they’ve been especially susceptible to scoring inside the arc.

Boston is averaging 17.0 points and 10.7 rebounds over her last 12, and as a rookie in 2023, she had her best performance against this Dallas frontcourt, dropping a career-high 27 points.
With the way Boston, Clark, and the Fever are playing right now, they should be able to roll through a Wings team that’s lost 17 of their last 19. Of their 19 total losses this year, all but two have come by six or more points, including each of their last 16.
