Fever vs Dream parlay
Over 187.5
Angel Reese 12+ rebounds
Kelsey Mitchell 25+ points
Angel Reese leads the WNBA in rebounding, and she’s been impossible to keep off the glass of late. The Dream big has picked up double-digit boards in seven straight games, going Over her 11.5-rebound line in all but one of those outings.
She’s pulled down at least 10 boards in eight of nine career games vs. Indiana, topping this line five times and missing it by just one rebound on two other occasions.
You can bank on Kelsey Mitchell for at least 20 points. The star guard has scored 20+ points in 18 straight games, and topped her 24.5-point line 13 times.
She’s shredded Atlanta for at least 25 in three of the last four matchups.

Sky vs Storm parlay
Over 175.5
Sky ML
Kamilla Cardoso 15+ points
The Sky rate second in pace among WNBA teams, while the Storm are also faster than average. Both teams rank in the bottom half of the WNBA in defensive rating, with Seattle giving up 88.5 ppg and Chicago allowing 90.2 ppg.
The Storm may have gotten the best of the Sky in their last meeting, but Chicago is certainly the better team.
Seattle has lost 12 of its last 13 games, has the third-worst scoring offense in the WNBA (83.3 ppg), and is shorthanded without Natisha Hiedeman (15.4 ppg), who scored 18 points in Monday’s win over the Sky.
I like Chicago to cover at up to -4.5.
On the other side of the ball, Kamilla Cardoso (14.5 ppg) has been coming up big for the Sky in August. She’s averaging 16 ppg in her last five outings, including a 20-point performance on Wednesday.
Cardoso should have her way with a shaky Seattle defense tonight.

Fire vs Mercury parlay
Mercury moneyline
Alyssa Thomas 15+ points
DeWanna Bonner 2+ made threes
The Mercury lead the league in fouls drawn (23.0 PFD) while generating 19.7 points per game on 25.8 free throw attempts.
Conversely, the Fire commit 20.7 personal fouls per contest, which should make veteran scorers like Alyssa Thomas, Kahleah Copper and DeWanna Bonner smile.
Thomas lives at the charity stripe, and I’m expecting her free throws to aid in scoring at least 17 points, like she has in five of her previous eight contests.
I also expect Phoenix to lean on DeWanna Bonner’s perimeter shooting. She’s made at least two triples in four of her previous six games and meets a Fire defense that’s surrendered 11.0 made threes per game in their previous five.

How to bet WNBA parlays today
Kalshi users can combine predictions for various markets for every WNBA game! Moneylines, spreads, and totals are fair game, as well as props for a player’s total points, assists, rebounds, 3-pointers made, and combo markets.
Prediction markets like Kalshi will set a projected total number for all the traditional markets and player stats, and users can predict whether the team will win/cover, if the total will go Over/Under, or whether players will reach certain statistical thresholds or not.
Combining predictions can increase a potential payday, but it also increases the risk level. If even one prediction in a three-leg combo is wrong, the whole thing is graded as a loss.
What is Kalshi?
Kalshi is a federally regulated platform for trading event outcomes on prediction markets. Traders can buy and sell simple, transparent contracts that settle based on the outcome of real-world events. Markets revolve around a yes/no proposition, with prices adjusting dynamically based on traders’ perceived probability that the event will occur. When the event concludes, if you are correct, the contract “honors” at a predetermined price; if you are incorrect, it expires at $0.
