We have two games in the WNBA on Friday night, as the Washington Mystics will head to the Windy City to play the undefeated Chicago Sky at 8 p.m. ET on ION, followed by the Dallas Wings going to the Pacific Northwest to play the new-look Seattle Storm at 10 p.m. ET on ION.
Both games feature a ton of star players, making this a great 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 during the first night of WNBA regular season action.

* Entry -five picks (20X) potential payout if all five legs parlayed*
1. Elena Delle Donne, F, Mystics @ Sky - UNDER 19.5 points
Elena Delle Donne has gotten off to a great start for the Mystics, averaging 19.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game this season. She is shooting 52.3 percent from the field and 57.1 percent from the deep, an excellent sign for Washington and their title hopes.
Delle Donne is coming off her best game in the young season, scoring 27 points on 11-of-18 shooting from the field and two-of-three from beyond the arc against the Sun earlier this week. The Mystics will be looking for EDD to keep up the scoring against the Sky, who do not have Azura Stevens and Candace Parker in the frontcourt anymore and are leaning on Elizabeth Williams and Morgan Bertsch. In the first two games of the season, the Sky's frontcourt allowed Lynx forward Napheesa Collier to score 17 points and Mercury center Brittney Griner to score 27.
It's not crazy to think EDD can score 20 tonight, especially if she's getting to her spots on the floor. However, with second-year center Shakira Austin playing well on the offensive end, we will take the under, as EDD won't have to carry a considerable workload tonight.
2. Shakira Austin, C, Mystics @ Sky - OVER 12.5 points
Speaking of Austin, the former first-round pick is playing like an All-Star so far, averaging 13.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. Austin is an excellent complement to Elena Delle Donne, as she can play inside the paint and put the ball on the floor.
Last season against the Sky, Austin averaged 12.8 points per game and scored more than 12.5 points in three out of four meetings. Fast forward to tonight's matchup, I think Austin can hit at least 13 points after playing well against Connecticut's frontcourt, scoring 21 and 14 points, respectively, in back-to-back matchups. The Sky's frontcourt is no match for Austin playing off EDD.
3. Kahleah Copper, G, Sky vs. Mystics - UNDER 18.5 points
With Candace Parker (Aces), Azura Stevens (Sparks), Courtney Vandersloot (Liberty), and Allie Quigley (sitting out this season) not on the Sky anymore, it's officially Copper's team. The former 2021 WNBA Finals MVP is averaging 17.5 points, six rebounds, three assists, and 1.5 steals per game.
Cooper has led the Sky in scoring in both games this season and is their top-scoring option. However, the 28-year-old guard might have trouble hitting her points prop tonight, as the Mystics are one of the better defensive teams in the WNBA on the perimeter. Cooper will likely see a ton of Natasha Cloud, which might limit her scoring chances. Cooper has gone UNDER 18.5 once this season and averaged 14.5 points per game last season against the Mystics.
4. Arike Ogunbowale, G, Wings @ Storm - OVER 22.5 points
If you like offense, Wings-Storm will have a ton of it. The total for tonight's contest is set at 160.5, so even the sportsbooks are expecting to see a lot of points. Ogunbowale had a tremendous regular season opener last weekend against the Dream, dropping 27 points (9-25 FG, 4-14 3pt), including 20 points in the first half.
The Wings will be looking for another 20-point outing from Ogunbowale, one of the top scorers in the W. The Storm had issues with the Aces guards in their season-opening loss last week, with Chelsea Gray and Kelsey Plum scoring 23 points apiece. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Ogunbowale have 23-plus points as the Storm usher in a new era. Last season against the Storm, the two-time All-Star scored 13.3 points per game in four meetings, but I don't envision anybody keeping Ogunbowale in check tonight.
5. Jewell Loyd, G, Storm vs. Wings - OVER 21.5 points
For the Storm want to win their first game tonight, they will need Loyd to be the leading scorer. In Seattle's season-opening loss against the Aces, Loyd was the only player in double figures, scoring 22 of its 64 total points. The 29-year-old guard went 7-of-25 from the field and 3-of-8 from three-point range.
Seattle would like to see better efficiency from Loyd, but she's their best offensive player and will run the offense through her. Last season, the four-time All-Star averaged 16.5 points per game and only went OVER 21.5 points once in four contests against Dallas. However, that was with Breanna Stewart and Sue Bird on the floor. She doesn't have them at her side this season and will do everything in her power to put up points.
