WNBA parlay picks today, Friday, May 8
For tonight's WNBA parlay, we're utilizing one bet in each game, featuring two player props, one each in Sun vs. Liberty and Mystics vs. Tempo, and one spread pick in the Valkyries-Storm late-night game.
1. Aneesah Morrow (Sun) over 9.5 rebounds
Game: Sun vs. Liberty
Time: 7:30 PM ET
We lead off this parlay with our top probability prop of the entire night, Aneesah Morrow of the Sun to collect at least 10 rebounds.
Morrow projects well over this line at 12.7 rebounds vs. the Liberty with a 66.6% probability from our model to go over 9.5. At plus-money odds of +110 on DraftKings, we get a big edge of 19%. Morrow averaged 6.9 rebounds in her rookie season, but once she became a starter, she regularly tallied in the double digits, including six of her final 10 games of the regular season.
She'll slot right into the starting lineup in 2026 and will get a test against a big Liberty lineup, but the Dimers model projects her to pick up right where she left off at the end of last season.
2. Kiki Iriafen (Mystics) over 8.5 rebounds
Game: Mystics vs. Tempo
Time: 7:30 PM ET
Our second parlay pick also focuses on a second-year player to hit her rebounds line, Kiki Iriafen.
Iriafen made an instant impact with the Mystics, averaging 8.5 rebounds per game in her rookie season, headlined by a 7-game stretch in the final weeks where she recorded 10+ boards in each game, and she began her season with four double doubles in her first five games.
She projects for 10.5 rebounds tonight against the Toronto Tempo, one of the league's new teams debuting this season, with a 61.1% probability to clear 8.5.
The Tempo will debut with a roster that doesn't feature many big rebounders from last season, among a number of rookies that haven't yet played in meaningful minutes together as a group.
The Dimers model likes the value on Iriafen to hit her rebounds mark and build on a standout rookie campaign.
3. Valkyries -5.5 vs. Storm
Game: Valkyries vs. Storm
Time: 10:00 PM ET
In the nightcap, we're backing the favorite to cover the spread when the Golden State Valkyries visit the Seattle Storm as 5.5-point favorites.
The Valkyries stunned the WNBA world last season by making the playoffs as an expansion team, an unprecedented feat, leading to head coach Natalie Nakase winning the league's coach of the year award.
They enter with bigger expectations this year, and get a 71.9% probability to win their first game of the season, along with a 53.6% probability to cover the -5.5 spread. They had the second-best record against the spread last year and Seattle had the second-worst.
Seattle projects as the worst team in the league by the Dimers model, with the lowest championship probability of all teams at just 1.3% while we project the Valkyries to make the playoffs once again, with a strong edge to come out hot with a decisive win on opening night.
WNBA parlay picks at +635 odds
For a bigger payout at a higher risk, you can bet these home run props as a parlay at total odds of +635 on DraftKings Sportsbook, returning $63.50 off a $10 bet, where you can utilize a profit boost for even better odds.
| Player/Team | Prop Bet | Odds |
