The first half of the 2023 WNBA regular season wraps up on Wednesday with an impressive five-game slate beginning at noon ET with Breanna Stewart and the Liberty taking on Aliyah Boston and the Fever on NBA TV and ending at 10 p.m. ET with A'ja Wilson and the Aces going on the road to take on Nneka Oguwmike and the Sparks on CBS SN.
All five games feature many star players, making this an excellent opportunity for WNBA fans to bet on their favorite players' props on SuperDraft.
On SuperDraft, bettors can pick an over/under on two or more player props. If you hit both, you win up to 3X the amount wagered, and the return increases each time you add another prop. Think of it as a "Same Game Parlay." More legs equal more risk, but also a bigger potential payout. However, not all players have the same props, so keep that in mind as you pick your over/under plays and try to win some cash.

20X potential payout if all five legs hit
1. Jonquel Jones, F, Liberty @ Mystics - OVER 11 points
With the Fever losing NyLassa Smith to a foot injury, this could be a prime spot for the Liberty to get Jones involved early and often inside the low post. Jones has played well over her last 10 games, averaging 10.8 points per game on 56 percent shooting from the field. The former league MVP has gone OVER 11 points six times over that span, which includes two out of her past three road games.
When the Liberty played the Fever on May 21 at the Barclays Center, Jones was New York's second-leading scorer with 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field and 2-of-2 from beyond the arc. MVP favorite Breanna Stewart stole the show with a career-high 45 points. Jones has played better on the road (11 ppg) than at the Barclays Center (9 ppg) this season, which should give some SD users hope that she can go OVER 11 points to open the slate.
2. Kahleah Cooper, F, Sky vs. Sun - UNDER 17 points
Cooper is coming off a solid performance against the Dream last weekend, dropping 29 points on 11-of-18 shooting from the field. However, she might not have the same luck against Connecticut today at home -- one of the best defensive teams in the WNBA this season. This is the second time the Sky and Sun are playing each other.
In their first matchup on June 25 at Mohegan Sun Arena, the Sun dominated the Sky 96-72. Cooper led the Sky with a game-high 29 points on an efficient 12-of-17 shooting from the field and 2-of-3 from three-point range. That being said, Cooper has gone UNDER 17 points in six out of her past 10 games and had another game against the Sparks with 17 points.
The three-time All-Star must have a good game for the Sky to keep it close today, but it's tough to imagine the Sun letting her get easy shots and have another efficient performance against them. We'll take the UNDER in a game that Connecticut should win.
3. Natasha Howard, F, Wings @ Lynx - OVER 8 rebounds
This doesn't look like a great matchup for Howard on paper, as the Lynx are ranked fifth in rebounds per game allowed (34.1) and seventh in defensive rebounds per game allowed (26.7) this season. However, the vet forward has done an adequate job crashing the boards over her past 10 games. Howard grabbed eight rebounds last weekend against the Fever, which isn't an easy task with Aliyah Boston and NaLyssa Smith in the frontcourt.
Before that matchup, she had 13 and 11 rebounds, respectively, in back-to-back games against the Aces, which is nothing to look past. Howard is averaging 8.5 rebounds per game in her past 10 games and 9.6 rebounds in her past five contests.
When the Wings played the Lynx earlier this season, Howard recorded seven rebounds (six defensive) in 32 minutes. Minnesota has shown to be a solid team on the glass throughout the season but struggled in their past 10 games, allowing 27.8 defensive rebounds per game (third worst in the W). Therefore, Howard should be able to go OVER eight rebounds this afternoon and hopefully keep our entry alive.
4. Rhyne Howard, G, Dream vs. Storm - OVER 15.5 points
We will take advantage of SuperDraft's discounted prop promotion for Howard tonight as the Dream try to end the first half of the season with a win over the Storm. The second-year guard has been on a tear lately, scoring 32 points against the Sky last weekend and 43 points to open up the month against the Sparks.
Howard will try to have another 30-point effort against the Storm, who are on the second game of a back-to-back after playing the Mystics on Tuesday night. The former No. 1 overall pick has gone OVER 15.5 points in six out of her past 10 games and had two other games with 15 points.
The two-time All-Star is scoring 21.8 points per game at home this season on 50.7 percent shooting from the field and 43.3 percent from three-point range. The only game Howard didn't score at least 15 points at home was on June 30 against the Mystics (14 points). SuperDraft users should take advantage of this discount because we don't see her having issues against the Storm, who struggle defensively.
5. A'ja Wilson, F, Aces @ Sparks - OVER 20 points
We will run it back with Wilson's points prop, which she hit on Tuesday night (O/U 19.5), scoring 20 points against Mercury. The All-Star forward has gone OVER 20 points in four out of her past 10 games and had two other games with at least 20.
Wilson has dominated the Sparks this season, scoring 21 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. In the Aces' last meeting against Los Angeles, Wilson dropped 23 points in a 28-point win. The only way this prop doesn't hit is if the Aces blow out the Sparks tonight, as they are 12.5-point favorites. However, we are comfortable taking this prop as Wilson will get her touches inside the paint against Nneka Oguwmike.
