WNBA same game parlay: We’re keying on some Marina Mabrey and Kahleah Copper player props, leveraging elevated usage from Sun’s elite trio against a struggling Phoenix defense.
Tuesday night’s WNBA action sees the Connecticut Sun visiting the Phoenix Mercury at PHX Arena. A heavy favorite, Phoenix sits at 17–11, while Connecticut is struggling at 5–22. Still, there’s value in using a WNBA same game parlay to ride on player usage, not team outcome.
Marina Mabrey, with over 20.5 points, rebounds, and assists, teamed with Kahleah Copper, who has over 17.5 points, to offer a sharp combo. With high individual involvement for Sun’s core, these props make sense regardless of the final result and offer correlated upside in a lopsided matchup.

Sun vs. Mercury WNBA Same Game Parlay Picks for 8/5
Phoenix is a dominant -15 favorite, with the spread and over/under set around 167 total points. Connecticut sits at the bottom of the standings (5–22), while Houston sits just ahead in terms of competitiveness. Memphis’ recent surge aside, the Mercury have positioned themselves solidly in the playoff picture at 17–11.
Marina Mabrey returned after an extended absence and is trending upward; her PRA (points + rebounds + assists) is averaging 25.5 over the last two outings. That makes the 20.5 line a solid opportunity for the Over given increased minutes and usage.
Meanwhile, Kahleah Copper has hit 18+ points in four of her 12 games this season and is heating up recently; she’s a consistent scoring threat in the Mercury’s high-tempo offense. Alyssa Thomas (Mercury assist leader) offers upside for another leg if desired.
