WNBA bets and fantasy picks: Look to Teaira McCowan, Sophie Cunningham - ESPN

Each night of the WNBA season, our team of fantasy and betting experts breaks down every game on the schedule, making note of everything from injuries and lineup changes to recent trends and more.

Here's what to look for tonight:

We close out May with a four-game WNBA slate featuring all of the top five players in points per game this season. There aren't many small spreads on the menu, although there are plenty of big names for prop plays and fantasy decisions.

The Aces vs. Dream game seems to have several fun prop angles given a slate-best total of 171.5 points, well clear of the field in this context. Finding friendly scoring games can be a key heading into a busy night.

Let's take a closer look at the players and matchups for tonight's games and find some angles of interest.

Sophie Cunningham, G, Phoenix Mercury (Available in 45.3% of ESPN leagues): Good on the glass for a guard and with enough steal and complementary scoring production to trust against the favored Lynx tonight, Cunningham is a popular addition in many leagues for a good reason.

Tyasha Harris, G, Connecticut Sun (89.5% available): Dallas is one of just five teams allowing at least 100 points per 100 possessions in the league, which helps the case for Harris as a secondary creator for the Sun as home favorites. There's also something to like about Harris' shooting prop at 1.5 3-pointers in a choice matchup.
