Best Bets

Kelsey Mitchell Over 21.5 Points (-110): Kelsey Mitchell, the fan I am of you. Through just two games this season, Mitchell has already dropped 53 points while shooting an impressive 51.5% from the field. And while she didn’t record a single rebound or assist in the Fever’s last outing, the 30-year-old still poured in 23 points in just 27 minutes.

With Caitlin Clark back in the mix, Mitchell doesn’t have to worry about being the primary distributor and can focus on what she does best: creating her own offense, thriving in transition, and being an all-around bucket. I’m expecting another 20+ point night from Mitchell, and she only needs one more basket to clear her points line.

Caitlin Clark 3+ Three Pointers Made (-130): Clark was notably cold from deep in her first outing in over 290 days, hitting just 2-of-9 attempts from beyond the arc. Game 2 against the Sparks wasn’t much better, as the 2024 Rookie of the Year went just 1-for-7 from three, dropping her early-season 3-point percentage to 18%.

While that number looks alarming on paper, I’m not too worried. Clark admitted she’s still working through a “mental hurdle” returning to the court, which helps explain why she’s looked sharp as a facilitator but inconsistent as a shooter. With two games now under her belt, tonight against the Mystics feels like a prime get-right spot for the 24-year-old known for pulling up from the logo without hesitation.

Marina Mabrey Over 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115): Mabrey finished the 2026 Unrivaled season on an absolute heater, leading the league in points per game at 25.3, and I was very curious to see if that production would carry over to the W. Well, through two games, it absolutely has. The former Sun guard, acquired by Toronto in the Expansion Draft, is averaging 26.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists to start the season.

While the Tempo are still working through the expected growing pains of a new franchise, Mabrey has stepped into a strong veteran role as the team’s primary offensive engine, consistently keeping Toronto competitive. Tonight, she faces a 0-2 Sparks team allowing the third-most points per game in the league at 96.0, and I’m confident Mabrey can capitalize on a weaker defense to clear her PRA line.
