We’ve reached the final night of the 2026 WNBA regular season, and the league sends out the campaign in style with a big five-game slate. With the Lynx already having clinched the No. 1 seed, the rematch between them and Indiana loses steam, and there are no other games in which both teams have winning records.

It’s therefore a bit of a tricky night for props, but we’ll hone in on a couple of very talented players with no postseason ahead of them and therefore likely to leave it all out on the court heading into the offseason.

Without further ado, let’s dive into a pair of player props to consider for tonight’s action.

Best WNBA Thursday Player Props

  • Nneka Ogwumike To Record A Double-Double
  • Kahleah Copper Over 23.5 Points + Rebounds

Nneka Ogwumike (Sparks vs. Valkyries) To Record A Double-Double (+115) at FanDuel

Things didn’t go the Sparks’ way for the most part this season, but Ogwumike can certainly be satisfied with her body of work. The veteran center has averaged a well-rounded 17.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals across 30.8 minutes per contest, shooting 51.7%, including 39.7% from behind the arc. Ogwumike has been playing some of her best basketball down the stretch as well, as she’ll enter Thursday’s finale having put up exactly 28.5 points + rebounds in her last six contests on an excellent 56.6% success rate from the floor. 

Golden State has played impressive defense overall throughout its very successful regular season, but the Valkyries have surrendered 46.7% shooting to centers overall. They’ve also conceded the fifth-most rebounds per road game (43.7), and it remains to be seen if Ogwumike will be facing them at full strength Thursday on a home floor where she’s averaged 26.8 points + rebounds per contest this season and recorded 10 of her 18 double-doubles on the season.

Kahleah Copper (Mercury vs. Aces) Over Points + Rebounds (-118) at DraftKings

Much like Ogwumike, Copper is another veteran who’s thrived on a losing team this season. In Copper’s case, she’s actually averaging a career-high 21.6 points per contest, and that figure has been partly boosted by her average of 30.8 points (on 56.6% shooting) over the last four games, a sample where her usage has been through the roof with 29 field-goal + free-throw attempts per contest. She’s also been a solid complementary source of rebounds out of her guard spot, averaging 3.6 boards per contest, including a slightly elevated 4.3 per contest over her last six.

Copper has one tally of 30 points + rebounds against the Aces in three meetings this season, and she’s been outstanding at home all season with averages of 24.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per contest while shooting 48.3%. Las Vegas is one of the league’s best teams, but Copper will likely be looking to close out the season strong in front of the home crowd and could get a bit of a boost from the fact the Aces are only middle of the pack in rebound prevention against guards (11.4 allowed per game to the position).
