2026 WNBA Betting Record: 20-10 (+8.20 units)
Kelsey Mitchell (IND) – Over Points + Assists
Mitchell is one of the best sources of offense across the WNBA, so it’s no surprise she’s already come through for us on multiple occasions this season. The veteran guard is regularly outproducing backcourt mate Caitlyn Clark, as Mitchell checks into Friday with averages of 22.6 points, 3.0 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals. She’s shooting 48.6%, including 41.6% from three-point range, and both of those figures, along with her scoring average, are career highs.
Mitchell’s Friday night matchup offers reason for optimism with regards to an Over on this prop. The opposing Storm’s defense has been more generous on the road, and Seattle is surrendering the fourth-most assists per away contest (21.6). The Storm is also giving up the seventh-most made threes per road game (8.7), and Mitchell comes in averaging a blistering 28.7 points + assists on 52.2% shooting, including 50.6% from long distance, over the last 11 games.

Angel Reese (ATL) – Over Rebounds
Reese is a bona fide superstar due to both her scoring and rebounding prowess, and the third-year pro is putting up a career-high 15.3 points and 1.7 steals this season. Reese’s career-best offensive production has come about despite a middling 42.6% success rate from the floor, but her 11.8 rebounds per game also represent a very reliable and noteworthy aspect of her contributions. Reese has compiled double-digit boards in 16 of 23 games, including at least 12 rebounds in 12 of those contests. Given her ability to dominate the glass and Friday’s matchup, Reese could well be in for another one of those upper-percentile performances.
The host Tempo has been one of the most targetable teams for rebounding production this season. Toronto has surrendered the second-most rebounds per home game (46.2), along with the third-highest offensive rebounding rate (30.4%) and seventh-highest defensive rebounding rate (75.4%) in that split. Reese is averaging a career-high 5.2 offensive rebounds per contest as well, and she has one 17-rebound tally already against Toronto this season. Finally, it’s worth noting the Tempo is yielding a WNBA-high 10.5 rebounds per game to centers, furthering Reese’s case.

Nneka Ogwumike (LAS) – Over Points + Rebounds
Ogwumike isn’t showing any signs of slowing down in her age-36 season, as she’s putting up 17.3 points and 8.8 rebounds — the latter tying for his highest figure since the 2016 season — along with 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals per contest. Ogwumike is also shooting a typically impressive 52.3 %, including a crisp 40.2% from behind the arc. The Stanford product already has nine double-doubles in 22 games as well, underscoring how safe a floor she’s typically exhibited when it’s come to her production on the offensive end and the glass.
Ogwumike is coming into Friday’s matchup against the Sky in the midst of a particularly strong run, as she’s averaging 29.4 points + rebounds across 30.6 minutes per contest over her last eight games. Ogwumike is shooting 54.5%, including 38.9% from three-point range, in that span, which also includes a performance of 37 points + rebounds against Chicago three games ago. The Sky is also allowing a WNBA-high 46.5 rebounds per home game, as well as the second-highest offensive rebounding percentage (30.8) and third-highest defensive rebounding percentage (77.8) in that split.

Kahleah Copper (PHX) – Over Points
Despite some shooting struggles, Copper is putting together what will likely be the second-best season of her career. The veteran guard is making good use of her career-high-tying 32.4 minutes per game, averaging 20.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 32.4 minutes per contest. Copper is shooting just 41.9% overall, her lowest figure since the 2019 season, but she’s partly making up for that by averaging the second-most field-goal attempts per game of her long career (16.0) while also making a career-high 6.6 visits per game to the free-throw line.
Copper has also been on a significant upswing with her efficiency recently, and it’s naturally paying off in her scoring numbers — she’s averaging 24.6 points on 52.2% shooting, including 36.1% from behind the arc, in her last 11 games. Copper is also 9-2 to the Over on the 19.5 points in that stretch, and she’s recorded at least 20 points on 11 occasions overall, including in seven of her last eight games. The opposing Sun also comes into Friday allowing 48.9% shooting, including 40.9% from long distance, in the last three games, further supporting the notion Copper could have another one of her higher-end offensive performances.
