SportsLine expert Calvin Wetzel has disclosed the WNBA players he feels are less heralded but worthy of backing while betting


If you bet or follow the WNBA even casually, you're probably aware of players such as A'ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers.

But there are plenty of other players in the league that possess an enormous amount of talent and can be difference-makers for their teams. Two-time MVP Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier and Alyssa Thomas are just a few that come to mind.
