Best WNBA Thursday Player Props
- Kiah Stokes Over 12.5 Points + Rebounds
- Rhyne Howard Over 19.5 Points + Rebounds
Kiah Stokes Over Points + Rebounds
By this point in the series, we have a very good idea of how matchups tend to play out, and Stokes has been one of the more dependable options on either side of the equation, particularly when it comes to rebounds. However, she’s had her moments on offense as well, most recently stepping up with 13 points on 5-for-6 shooting, including 3-for-4 from three-point range, in Game 5 on her home court.
Stokes is averaging 16.2 points + rebounds on 57.1% shooting overall in the series, despite putting up a sparse 4.2 field-goal attempts per game. Dating back to the start of the regular season, Stokes is averaging 14.5 points + rebounds per game overall against Atlanta in an eight-game sample, and she’s consistent shot well against the Dream – she owns a 57.6% success rate from the floor in that span.
Atlanta gave up the fifth-most points (16.7) and third-most rebounds (9.9) per contest to centers during the season as well, so this prop continues to be very much within Stokes’ wheelhouse.

Rhyne Howard Over Points + Rebounds
Howard has been one of the steadiest options on the Dream side of the equation during the series, posting just one dud back in Game 2 and averaging 19.6 points + rebounds across 33.4 minutes per game overall, despite shooting just 36.1%. Howard most recently came through on the Over of her points + rebounds prop in Game 5, where she supplied 20 points and five boards across 38 minutes.
Howard is 3-2 to the Over on the 19.5 overall during the series, but she also finished on the hook with 19 in Game 1. The versatile forward has averaged 19.1 points + rebounds per game against Golden State over eight outings overall since the start of the regular season, and it bears noting her shooting has improved in the last two games of the series, when she’s drained 44.8% of her attempts.
With everything on the line for the Dream and Howard averaging 22.9 points + rebounds with 37.9% three-point shooting at home since the start of the season, the Over is in play again.
