We’re in for an exciting night of WNBA action. Wednesday’s slate features a meeting between the Mercury and Sun in what will serve as Alyssa Thomas’ first game against her former team.

Here are my best WNBA prop bets today.

Alyssa Thomas: Over 8.5 Assists (-135) @ Sun

DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit

After spending 11 seasons with Connecticut, Thomas was traded as part of a multi-team deal that landed her in Phoenix. The five-time All-Star and three-time All-WNBA forward has enjoyed some of the best years of her career since 2022, averaging 13.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 7.3 assists while earning top-five finishes in the MVP race in three consecutive seasons.

Thomas has maintained her stellar play with the Mercury, posting 14.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 9.0 assists over her first seven appearances. She’s effectively served as the team’s point guard, facilitating the offense and setting up fellow stars Satou Sabally and Kahleah Copper (now that she’s returned) for easy buckets.

Thomas should have little trouble surpassing 8.5 assists against her former team. She’s logged at least 10 helpers and as many as 15 in each of her last three contests and has a favorable matchup with a Connecticut squad that ranks dead-last in defensive rating and is playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Lock in the over with your WNBA bet of the day.

Mercury: 1H -8.5 (-112) @ Sun

DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit

Despite absences from Thomas and Copper, Phoenix has gotten off to a strong start this season, going 8-4 with the only losses coming to the mighty Lynx and Storm. There’s certainly room for improvement, but the Mercury underwent more drastic changes in the offseason than perhaps any other team in the league, so they have to be satisfied with the early returns.

The same can’t be said of the Sun. Connecticut is a pitiful 2-9 and ranks last in points scored and allowed per game, and it’s already suffered losses by as many as 48 points. Tina Charles and Marina Mabrey have carried the load thus far, averaging a combined 33.6 points per game, but this squad has few redeeming qualities otherwise.

With that in mind, I’m looking for Phoenix to build a substantial lead by halftime. There’s no denying the Mercury’s superiority, and although they’re playing on the road, they have a significant rest advantage. This is an easy choice at -112.
