We have four games on Tuesday night in the WNBA, beginning at 7 p.m. ET and televised on ESPN and NBA TV. The action starts at 7 p.m. ET with the Lynx looking to win their second consecutive contest against the Sun. Finally, it wraps up at 10 p.m. ET with the Liberty trying to hand the Sparks their second-straight loss after Los Angeles completed a two-game sweep over Indiana last week.

All four 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.

Best WNBA prop bets today: SuperDraft player prop picks for Tuesday 8/1

6X potential payout if all three legs hit

1. Kelsey Mitchell, G, Fever vs. Mercury - OVER 16.5 points

The Fever have struggled in the second half of the WNBA regular season, losing four out of their past five games. However, Mitchell is playing well, averaging 15.2 points per game on 45.3 percent shooting from the field. She isn't shooting well from beyond the arc (33.3) over that span, but she might have better success tonight against the Mercury.

This is the third time this season that Indiana is playing Phoenix. Mitchell scored 12 and 15 points in her first two matchups against the Mercury, respectively. In the game where she had 15 points, Mitchell was 2-of-8 from three-point range and took 15 shots from the field. For Mitchell to go OVER 16.5 points tonight, she must have 15 or more shots attempts. The good news for SD users is she's averaging 13.1 shots attempts per game over her past 10 games and had 20 attempts in Sunday's home loss against the Storm. Mitchell has gone OVER 16.5 points in five out of her past 10 contests and is scoring 18.9 points per game at home this season. 

2. DeWanna Bonner, F-G, Sun vs. Lynx - OVER 19.5 points

Bonner has been on a tear over the past three games for Connecticut, scoring 27.7 points per game on 42.4 percent shooting from the field. The All-Star forward is coming off a ridiculous performance against the Lynx over the weekend, where she dropped 31 points in a four-point loss. After getting upset by Minnesota, we like Bonner and the Sun to play even better in front of their home crowd.

The veteran forward has gone OVER 19.5 points in five out of her past 10 games, averaging 20.3 points per game at home this season (44.3% FG, 38.9 3pt%). Now, granted, the Lynx had Bonner's number earlier this season, holding her to 24 total points in the first two matchups in June. However, in one of those games, she took 16 shots but only made five. We expect Bonner to play well again tonight as the Sun look to snap the Lynx's winning streak.

3. A'ja Wilson, F, Aces vs. Dream - OVER 9.5 rebounds

Anytime we get Wilson's rebound prop at O/U 9.5, we must take the OVER, regardless of the matchup. The two-time MVP has struggled lately on the glass, averaging 5.5 rebounds per game in her last two games vs. the Sky and Wings. However, we think that Wilson will be more active on the glass against the Dream, who are tied for ninth in the WNBA in rebounds allowed (35.8) and ranked eighth in offensive rebounds per game allowed (8.3).

Wilson is only averaging 2.2 offensive rebounds per game since July 1 but has gone OVER 9.5 rebounds in six out of her past 10 games. Wilson recorded five rebounds in the Aces' first meeting against the Dream but dropped 21 points in a five-point win. Nevertheless, Wilson should have more than five boards tonight, as she's posting 9.3 rebounds per game at home this season.
