Best WNBA Bets Today: Tuesday, August 26

Skylar Diggins over 5.5 assists (-130)

DraftKings Sportsbook, 10:15 a.m. CT

Kirien Sprecher: Diggins is coming off her third double-double of the season and has surpassed this mark in eight of her last 12 appearances. Seattle has won three straight, thanks in large part to Diggins' distribution, and I expect that to continue against Indiana's banged-up backcourt. 

Alyssa Thomas over 9.5 rebounds (-105) 

DraftKings Sportsbook, 10:20 a.m. CT

Kirien Sprecher: Thomas has been doing it all for the Mercury recently and is coming off her sixth triple-double of the campaign. She's reached this rebounding mark in 11 of her last 14 games. Her scoring and distribution can fluctuate, but her rebounding numbers have been consistently strong all year.
